you are mostly east mediterranid with a little iranid or iranocromagnid influence

cypriot , lebanese , north syrian , north iranian , georgian . kurdish , maybe armenian and assyrian too

you can also pass in greece and maybe southern italy

Interesting. Out of all these regions where do you think I pass the best and worst?

 

[Kurdquistador]

cypriot best i think

worst ....i will have to think about it

I know phenotype doesn't always go hand in hand with genotype but If I indeed pass best for a cypriot then I have a weird look for my overall genotype.

Would you say it is normal for someone who is 3/4 georgian jew and 1/4 NW georgian to look like a Cypriot? I mean I thought my best pass was Eastern Turkey and out of all the classifications and passes I have gotten from people, I got Turkey the most, especially eastern Turkey. One person also told me that I looked very similar to his Kurdish friend. I have also gotten Cyprus but not to the point where I could pass best there from the entire West Asia. I have also gotten Iran quite frequently. Theoretically I should look like an armenian or something since they should be my closest population or at least like an assyrian, but I guess it can happen. Don't cypriots on average look overwhelmingly levantine? In addition to that do you think you could decently pass as a cypriot?

Thanks for the compliment btw.

I believe I have pan NW asian look and pass in almost every part of NW asia. I think I could also pass atypically in southern europe and Levant.

You look indeed very anatolian to me and yes you would pass in south europe in countries like Greece and Italy

 

[Asil Erten]

You look mainland Greek best to me.. then Turkish and Georgian as well

Btw whats your ethnic background?

I am 3/4 Georgian Jewish and 1/4 Georgian from Mingrelia

 

[GrekoManiac]

U look Turkish

 

[Ben Dover]

U look Turkish

I get that a lot

here is my list for you . i have looked at your pics again and more carefully and this is what i think :

best fits : cypriot , greek islander , turkish , armenian

decent fits : lebanese and north syrian , georgian , , italian , romanian , portuguese ,spanish , sephardic jew , azerbaijani , assyrian

okay fits but already on the atypical side : kurdish , ashkenazi jew , north iranian , iraqi , jordanian , egyptian , lezgin

pass only as an atypical person . only a very small minority of the population will look like you : tajik , french , adyghean , maybe also saudi

Damn. In your opinion I look way more med than I am genetically. It is fine tho.

what do you mean . med is not exclusive to europe only

 

[Kurdquistador]

med doesnt mean european

med doesnt mean semitic

wtf is going on

 

[Kurdquistador]

but you are wrong no matter what you say because it is the REALITY that med does NOT mean semitic

 

[Ben Dover]

To be honest, although you do have some Mediterranean/Semitic in you, you do not look predominantly 'Semitic'/'Southern West Asian'. You look like who you are, a Georgian Jew with some Georgian/Caucasian blood. Some Georgian Jews I know are a little bit lighter than you, but some are similar to you.
In Georgia many Jews do not only have Georgian blood, but also Russian or Armenian blood.

Once again, you do look like a Georgian Jew, but you would pass easier as an Armenian, Azeri or even a Persian than somebody from the Levant..

The thing is I am not even supposed to look southwest asian cuz I am not southwest asian and I am also pretty far away from them. As for georgian jews they can look like me and yes a lot of full blooded georgian jews have lighter skin color than me but it would make more sense for me to have lighter features overall.

You literally almost can't find a georgian jew who is mixed with any other ethnicity. As far as I know me, my sister and my father's family are the only ones who derive ancestry from a different population. Georgian Jews are as homogenous as it can possibly get.

Even georgian jews aren't necessarily close to levantines. They are definitely closer to assyrians, armenians, other mizrahi jews and some iranian groups than they are to levantines. I am gonna be even more distant from levantines due to my georgian admixture which especially is from the north-western side of the country.

Also, I lack textbook facial features that armenians have even though they are the closest people to me because mingrelian admixture pulls me north. I could probably be more northern shifted than western armenians.

In my opinion I still have a kind of southern shift than I should theoretically have for my overall genotype.

By med I meant south-eastern med like greek islands, cyprus and levant.
