Phenotypical observations from your travels

[Avicenna]

Been a while since I've last posted but couldn't help it , good thread .

My travels to Afghanistan:

Kabul, no suprise a mix bag of ethnicities and people's. Really was strange seeing full blown mongoloid types to full blown psuedo central euro looking folks . Most of the people were slender slim and height wise , suprisingly taller than I imagined . Colored eyes were common, but they were far more commonly among the Farsi and pashtun speaking folks than hazaras .

Panjshir valley : mainly a dominated Tajik region , the men were Alot stockier and well built but also quite a few men were slender as well . Light brown / dark blonde hair was much more common as you approached the Highlands , reddish skin tones prevailed , especially among the older folk. Lots of colored eyes too . Phenotypes ranged from irano nordoids , pamirids, iranids.

Jalalabad : I would say Alot of cultural similarities with the people from the opposite border in Pakistan . Lots of Iranids and indo Iranids . Saw psuedo south Asian looks every now and again, but suprisingly much lighter than i thought . The folks were all pretty much slender and very thin, assuming because of severe poverty and people.couldnt afford meat etc . Saw quite few Balkan looking types , was quite diverse . Saw a few blondish types , it was more common among the children though.

Mazar e sharif : very diverse . Lots of Turanids, Iranian Nordics and Mongolic types . No surprise since Uzbeks make a large part of this city . Travelled to balkh city where Tajiks and pashtuns dominated and saw a stark contrast with that of mazar. Lots of hunter eyes , colored eyes , skin tones ranged from pale to olive .

Laghman: probably one of the lightest regions I came across , saw a shit Ton of men , young and old with colored eyes , sharp features , high and long headed . Dark hair made the majority but came across a few redheads. Skin tones ranged from pale , to reddish to full blown brown .

Hoping to go to more provinces but this is my input from what I have seen so far on my travels there .

Thanks for posting, it is obviously rare to get people with an experience of different corners of Afghanistan.

I think Alot of travellers who are from Europe that go to Afghanistan will be mind boggled . If you are not aware of the ethnicities that are present in Afghanistan, a person will be severely confused lol.

I lived for one year in Barcelona, during that time I travelled to Madrid few times.

It was huge difference for me, people I saw in Madrid was really nice looking, lighter color; but the ones in Barcelona is dark skinned and not beautiful or handsome at all. Some of them could easily pass as Kurdish in Turkey, I think.

It is fact that people from Madrid are better looking, classy city all around.

It is fact that people from Madrid are better looking, classy city all around.

This is due to their Mediterranean heritage. They have a «healthy» complexion and good Mediterranean features.
