I cannot believe that you are such believer of Dieneke. Anyway here is a Dieneke map of Europe with morphs. However genetical studies are a million times more accurate than morphs. Tell your little friend to look at Spain and then the Britain, there's a difference.

The Briton in that graphic is more handsome than the Norwegian, Finn, or Estonian. So much for Nordicism...

The Austrian is the most handsome of the entire bunch.

I'm gonna post pictures of actors of a very popular Finnish soap opera. Give your thoughts, please. Only natives included.





Moderator cut: image removed

























And my favorite for last:


Whoops! Wrong person, I meant her!


Brown-eyed people seem to be overrepresented, but these are all professional actors. Some more, some less skilled. The show is terrible btw, and 2485 episodes has been aired. Actors 5, 7 and 9 don't seem like average joes, but the rest are in my eyes guys and girls who walk past me on the street every day.

It's better to post statistical studies. Finland has the highest percentage of light eyes of the world (89%).



Can you see this picture?

Again. The British are consistent with the rest of Northern Europe.

I know. We have seen this picture hundreds of times. But with what study is that based on? I can't track it down. A Finnish tabloid snapped up that fact or "fact", but they mentioned no source.

I wanted to test something new, hence the pictures.

For god sake this thread seriously needs locking, 'or how about a new rule? Only the British are allowed to post - because they at least can see with their own eyes EVERY day how 'Britain's look'. Rather than having to listen to the nonsense that's posted on here by everybody who isn't British yet who somehow seem to think of themselves as some kind of experts when it comes to this so called (non existent) 'British' look!!

No, since according to the Genographic Project, Irish would anyway be closest to that of the U.K. However this year, they're in Ireland and studying the Irish population on other genetical aspects. Enda Kenny seem to belong to I1 halogroup which most likely ties him to an earlier Scandinavian invasion into the British Isles during the Bronze Age or Norwegian Viking invasions into Ireland and northern Britain.

Genetics go deeper than what the eye can see or just a'British' look. I didn't post only things concerning British people, but Europeans in general and any person of European ancestry. No matter where they live in Europe. With the Genographic Project, anyone on the planet can also see where their ancestors came from. We know the last time you used your eyes, Britain was lying south of Germany. You seem to get upset, when reality is put in front of your eyes. There's nothing wrong if you want to be French or Spanish, but facts are facts. If you're a dark-haired British person that doesn't make you a Spaniard/Iberian or an Italian, that facts, now you can your own opinion.British people are all over the world, in Europe, America, Australia,etc...

Many Americans in Utah have English ancestry like this family.

True Finland has the highest frequency of light eyes in the world, the map below is even more precise. Shows percentages of the distribution brown and blue-eyed people in European population, but not other light eye colors. Scandinavia again comes on top. To read it, it goes brown eyes frequency/blue eyes frequency. The British again are consistent with neighboring Northern European nations. I don't know why people are getting a fit, when they say British are just regular Northern Europeans nothing special, even lighter than Belgium and obviously France.
