Looks Iranian.

[Methuselah]

Looks Iranian.

Kinda yes.

[Fibonacci]

Looks Iranian.

And many Azerbaijanis look Iranian

[Phenix]

And many Azerbaijanis look Iranian

I was not so sure, and let more knowledgeable people answer.

[Methuselah]

And many Azerbaijanis look Iranian

So Ossetians, Kurds and Azeri are Iranian? I think many people in Caucasus can look Iranian, no?

I take back my words. Iranian people look different in general.

Azerbaijan is a different story. It is the only country in the Caucasus which has always been part of Iran. Many Iranian Azerbaijanis fled to Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis fled to Iran. Azerbaijan has strong Iranian elements.
The Georgian in the middle doesn't look too much different than the Iranian next to him. The guy to his right also passes in Iran.

The people from both regions are intertwined, culturally and genetically. Azerbaijan however has more caucasian elements than Iran. But many Azerbaijanis can pass in Iranian Azerbaijan so therefore Iran

You are right, they look quite similar. However, Iranians are usually visibly South Asian influenced, while Georgians are not. I guess Iranians in general are more likely to look Arab influenced as well. Not like Caucasus is not mixed. They are mixed people, from Chechens to Azeris.

For this case, what country is more fitting? I go with Iran.

It's easier to distinguish Iranian among Geogians, than Ukrainian for example. I posted a picture of typical Georgians in previous post. They look nothing like Iranians.


This Georgian students pass in Carpathian mountains better, than in anywhere in Iran.

Yes but i was specifically look at that picture. Compare the 2 in that picture. And yes he wouldn't pass in Iran nor Azerbaijan

most Georgians don't look Iranian but some do, I've seen them in person, they looked more Iranian than me. They were probably eastern. Anyway. there are many Georgians living in Iran, in their own established cities and they also intermixed with Iranians since 300,000 of them were forced to move to Iran. Their dna is apart of most Iranians. They intermixed with Iranians when Iran had a low population as well.
so 300,000 georgians probably had an influence.
They don't look Ukrainian at all. They look caucasian due to their strong caucasian features. They're just depigmented because of Georgias moderate climate. Georgians have the least European ancestry in all of the Caucasus. Well over Majority of their ancestry is west Asian, CHG

iran does have oriental elements but iranians have a distinct look. they wouldnt pass in neighbouring countries.
most of these iranians look pretty distinct to me. cant pass in neighbouring countries.

Iran almost look like a European country to me , looking at infrastructure/cleanliness and even phenotypes of people is quite close to Europeans.
Pakistan is very backward compare to Iran lol

remanents of what the shahs achieved through modernization and some what the current government, iran is old, most cities still have their ancient attributes like athens and rome. id say tehran looks pretty much like athens. iran is also diverse, tehran is the most populated city inhabited by all types of iranians. the people from the south are more oriental, the north and central move towards east med and east is shifted towards central asia (turkmen, afghans etc..)

Georgians also have least south asian, east asian and south west asian ancestry among caucasus also.
I didn't said they look specifically Ukrainian, but they would pass in Ukraine better, than in Iran.

I have seen many Iranians here in Georgia, and they have very specific look. They do not look Arabs or Pakis, they have more Caucasus component. But when you look at Iranian groups in Georgia, they look alien.

Yes I can see that , When I see videos from Iran , Lebonon , Turkey , these countries remind me a lot of Mediterranean Europe but with little bit darker people.
Thats why I found it funny when people think West Asia is closer to South Asia than to Europe. South Asia is altogether a different world to both region(West Asia/Europe)

I agree, Iranians have very exclusive appearance they do not look like any other ethnic group in the region, specifically Persians.

Well, some Georgians can pass in Ukraine (Like Jano Ananidze who i guess is part Russian) and some Ukrainians can pass in Caucasus. I think Lomachenko can pass. Not sure about Klitchko bros, they pass in Balkan better i guess.

Georgians also have least south asian, east asian and south west asian ancestry among caucasus also.

well iranians cluster with caucasians more than anyone else so why should that be a surpise? iranians cluster closer to georgians and ossetians than to tajiks for example. south asian and arab communities arent even in the same spectrum as iranians on autosomal graphs.

Thanks! Maybe he looks more Kurdish after all...

Yes

I think he has Proto Iranid with maybe some Dinarid on his nose.

Yes, he could pass, but you're right, indeed, he looks Kurdish too.
