[Sikeliot]

They are Basques.

[Lábaru]

only these three show strong typical Basque features, and the first one is more Cantabrian.

Don't fall to the myth most modern basques are different from other spaniards because this is false: Most basques have castilian blood and many castilians have basque blood.
...

If you want to post basques, real basques, that COULD NOT FIT anywhere else of Spain, take at least pure examples, not castilianised ones:

If you find a beautiful basque, is 90% sure they have castilian blood. In fact it is known that if were not because of the castilian blood in basquelands, they were already exterminated because would have been confused by trolls/trasgos or subhuman: the most pure basques are -for sure- the ugliest people in Iberia. Everybody knows that.


NOTE: I've lived in IRUN (core of basquelands) for years.

[Lábaru]

Good examples, Don.

Their look is very distinctive (those in the last few posts), leaning toward Portuguese to me but with something different.

[Ibericus]

Southwest France, Northern Spain, Pyrenees. Some are just typically basque.

[Husaria]

Anywhere there is r1b haplogroup.

What about the R1b in Denmark? could they fit there?

I remember this Basque old lady who once told me that the better Basque was "mixed". I was a bit shocked. But I could understand what she was going about, because I knew her four nieces. One was just Basque and the other three were Basque-Castilian.

Yes, I used synonyms.
The faster way to find Purest Basques without castilian blood with an impressive ratio of success.

Despite genetic differences, Basques just look like regular Iberians to me.

Because their "genetic differences" compared to other Iberians is many times overstated for political purposes. They have their own regional genetic variation, and actually all Spanish regions have their own regional genetic variations. However, the genetic differences between the different Iberian regions (including Basque Country and Portugal) are MINIMAL. That's why all Iberians cluster together in all genetic plot maps.

Iberians are genetically and phenotypically so close to each other as British Islanders (Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English) are genetically close between them, and as people from Ex-Yugoslavian republics are close between them.

That's why I always think that Spain is incomplete without Portugal. These two countries should have been the same Iberian state.
