Post pictures of what you think is the common phenotype of Turks.

If you think Turks are too diverse to have a common phenotype, then how would you "average" these phenotypes?

Describe in typological terminology or just in simple words, what the most prevalent or general phenotype of Turks is.
 
You are welcome to post photos of your own on this thread. :smile:

Thats pretty much what turks look like, black haired, thick black moustached, olive skinned middle eastern looking fellows although there are many, many exceptions to the rule. They dont look much different from the neighbouring armenians ironically.
 
Faruk Çelik on post No. 76 looks quite Georgian and considering that he is originally from Artvin it would not be surprising if he has Georgian roots.

I appreciate your input guys. Keep 'em coming. If you think I misrepresented Turks in any of the photos let me know.

Turks look very different in that they are incomparably more diverse and mixed than Armenians are. There are white Turkish citizens (Turks) who have European ancestry. If you compare these Turks to Armenians, then clearly they would be whiter than most Armenians, because Armenians don't have such ancestry; they are more homogenous. But there are also ethnically Iranian, Kurdish, Arab (of all sorts and kinds). If you compare most of these people with Armenians, then Armenians would appear to be lighter in pigmentation and less South-West Asian and/or South Central Asian in phenotype. There are Turks of North African (Maghrebi) descent. Again, when compared to Armenians, this group would also stand out. There are also Turks who look Mongoloid or Turanid; do they compare with Armenians...? There are Turks who have Northern Asian, even Siberian genes...Armenians can neither compete nor compare with these features; such features wouldn't apply to them. Again Armenians are more homogenous.

So, the question is how do you compare a multi-ethnic nation (Turkish people) to a somewhat diverse but a much more homogenous ethnicity (Armenians)?
Do you define averages? Do you compare the most European/West-Asian/SouthWest-Asian looking Turks to the most European/West Asian/SouthWest-Asian looking Armenians respectively? How do you go about comparing these groups?

For that matter, how would you compare Americans (US) to Armenians? What does an American look like generally or typically anyway? Are they European or more African looking compared to Armenians? Clearly, you would have to do some discriminating in order to compare these groups on fair terms. If you're measuring or assessing which group look more West-Asian, you clearly can't take African Americans and compare them to Armenians, can you? This would miss the point.So, would you make a facial composite photo of a random sample of Americans? Or would you discriminate for only Americans with Caucasian ancestry (European, West Asian, South-West Asian) ancestry?

My point here is, until you have chosen the method by which you are going to compare these groups, any generalizations as to what Turks look like compared to any other group is not really warranted.

Think about that...:thinking:
