Multiple choice; Where in Europe can Armenians and Georgians pass as natives?

[oreo_cookie]

It's curious those who tell something about "Latins" usually forget to mention the French.

I find it curious some people would mention Romanians before French, given the geographic proximity of France to Spain, Portugal, etc. and Romania is further away.

It's curious those who tell something about "Latins" usually forget to mention the French. And also, they forget the alphabet used to write in English, Deutsch, etc. Of course, the culture is the last thing they care when refering to this. Big mistake.

I mean latin as a group nations. I did not mention French because they generally are not similar to the Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese.

I don't know what do you pretend, but putting Romanians, Spaniards, and Portuguese in the same bag, is a totally nonsense. Absolutely nothing to do.

Iberians cluster between North Italians and French, while Romanians fall between Tuscans and Hungarians. And Southern Italians...that was a very good one since they are cluster with Greeks. Quite far, I'm afraid your "observations" are completely wrong.

Are you serious?

Have you researched genetic distances?

Yet another t-r-o-l-l. :useless:

Oh yeah, pretty curious indeed.:wary2:

Question is, who are more like the Armenians? So I think they look like portuguese, spaniards and romanians. On the other hand the Portuguese, Spaniards and romanian are latins, Aren't They? I'm not talking about race or being racist.

Well to think they all look "Latin" you'd by default think all of the groups you mentioned, plus Armenians and Georgians, have a common appearance.

Carlos, I certainly doubt that Armenians could fit in Galicia
I haven't mentioned this before but both Armenians and Georgians we can distinguish each other from the first sight. If there is no recent admixture, average Armenian and average Georgian look quite different from each other and lumping them together was not probably right for this thread

there are lots of armenians and georgians working in turkey. and i can easily understand who is georgian. they have light brown hair, light skin and long nose on the other hand i cant distinguish armenians from turkish ppl having mostly black hair and brown eyes.

e.g. the ppl in these last pictures are all like turkish.

Romanians and Iberians have a completely different history, the point their languaje have the same seed it doesn't mean anything (it's only cultural, not phenotypical). Genatically speaking, there's no proximity in the European group since Romanians are substantially removed from French, while Spaniards and Portuguese fall exactly next to them. So no match in general terms, actually Romanians have resemblances with Hungarians and people from the Balkans, ocasionally with some Italians, but the thing doesn't extend more.

The fact is that Iberians do not look at all like Armenians or Georgians. How could they, since they are mainly Atlantic in appearance. Quite silly...

 

[Knovas]

West Asian and Southwest Asian admixture in Iberia is very low, almost absent in places like Catalunya or the Basque country, as well as in several parts of Aragón and Navarra (surely). Very difficult to look like this, no overlap.

Genotype = phenotype. Full genetic heritage determines general physical appearance (although chromosomes behave randomly leading to occasional variation from the "standard") and this is where autosomal DNA scores provide many of the answers. The great majority of Iberians, based on all the latest autosomal readings, are Western European with strong N. Atlantic, N. Euro and S. Euro components. There have been numerous postings on Eupedia about this.

All things considered, I would say there are some phenotypic differences (sometimes substantial) between Armenians and Georgians.

I fully agree..
As for group captures from the streets I don't find it particularly helpful at least for Georgia. In the best case ethnic Georgians are only 70% of the population, so it's a high probability that on random photos only half are Georgians. Later I can put photos of the people from traditional martial arts club of which I am sure that they are Georgians and you can judge by yourself.

I never noticed this but it may just be me. I always thought Armenians and Georgians looked relatively similar.

Have you ever seen real life Armenians or Georgians?

 

[oreo_cookie]

Armenians look like people I picture when I think of old Biblical stories.. like if you wanted to re-enact scenes from the Bible and make the people representative, you could use Armenians as a valid substitute.

 

[Kardu]

That's why according to Armenian DNA research project their closest population is Assyrian

Some photos of Georgian highlander traditional martial arts enthusiasts, whom I know to be ethnic Georgians without any recent admixture.
