Racial images of Georgians

Post photos of the stereotypical Georgian.

Post photos of average, common, stereotypical or typical appearances of Georgians.

The aim is to identify the common, average, typical appearance of Georgians.

Post crowd photos in order to ensure some randomness in the appearances of people that are portrayed in the photos, to minimize bias or cherry picking.

I have seen some of them. They have some dark elements but show no Mongoloid traces. They also look quite differnt from russians. Albanians are a lot more russian looking than Georgians. I would say they are pretty decent race, ovewhelmly caucasian, to my opinion likeable.

Why should we have 'Mongoloid traces'?
And except some mixed families from 19th and 20th centuries there is no correlation between Georgians and Russians/Slavs apart from common Caucasoid/Europoid origins.

Some Georgians - 19th century.

Some models from different regions of Georgia. In general there are 3 sub-types of Caucasian race among Georgians.

The Photos are mostly taken from an open page/group from Facebook.

Not sure if true, but I have heard some Georgian woman tend to have lips surgery.

This is not exactly my observation. Allot of Albanians I have seen look similar to Russians or Ukrainians but the majority looks South European.

ethnic Georgians(note there are allot of minorities Armenians, Jews, Kurds and Azerbaijanis) on the other hand have their own distinct look but allot of them, especially on the female side can be easily mistaken for Ukrainians. The males on the other hand look mostly Mediterranean/Caucasian.

Ukrainians?! No way...
One can easily spot an ethnic Georgian by specific set and shape of eyes, nose and eyebrows.
General look is indeed South European/Levantine, but who knows what to look for can easily distinguish Georgians among other Mediterranean types.

Note that I meant the females specifically. This is my observation the broader faced females at least are less distinguishable from the Slavs than males. But for someone who is Georgian himself and has much more experience with this area it is easier to see the difference.

For example this Georgian Girl could be Slavic imo.

Eye/eyebrow shape/position is typical Georgian. I'd never mistake her for an Ukrainian. (And you are right her lips seem to me bit unnatural..)

some more XIX century Georgians. No lip job in that time, thanks god.

No plastic surgery here either

Stalin was of mixed Ossetian-Georgian descent, LeBrok.

She does not look Slavic at all. I would say that there's something Italian in her look.

I've noticed that Georgian people have this distinct kind of greenish eye color, it's not lucid green nor blue/grey but something in between.
The same eye color have I seen an Armenian guy from Georgia have, for some reason..

Indeed, noticeable amount of Georgians have greenish eyes.

He was half Ossetian. Though on most photos he is pictured as dark haired, according to sources he was actually red haired before his hair became gray.

His daughter was red haired too.
