Yes, some studies are way too lenient in classifying irises as intermediate imo. For instance, this study done on 58 Iraqis classified these irises as intermediate ".

In any case, 70% of KPK pashtuns were white skinned.

The study did not mention Kalash, Malakand division includes a number of district's, of which one district, Chitral, contains Kalashas and Khowars ( isolated extreme northern non pashtuns), and out...

Possibly the category for blue and light mixed have overlapped, and possibly the category for intermediate has overlapped with brown, another study focusing on Pashtuns from Swat district in KPK was...

Even light mixed would be much higher than what I thought for Punjabis, so even then it's still a mystery.

The categories were mentioned , even intermediate was labeled as green/hazel which we...

Not necessarily, they are akin to their neighbours however they derive more ancestry from enolithic central Asians and they have been genetically isolated for some time.

Which is strange because I've heard that lighter eyes is favoured in women than men . I've even heard that light eyed men ( among pashtuns) is a feminine trait. However, no idea about Punjab .

Yes, I've noticed that in other studies the same occurrence happens in other populations. Lighter eyes is more common among men than women it seems .

This is what happens when we have pre conceived notions without actually looking into the statistics. If it helps, the majority( 67%) was light brown to dark brown in Punjab. So I'm assuming they...

It's not a survey, it's a academic study however.

You can LOL all you want, however that's not a valid counter argument. Even I was shocked to say the least, however you can check out the study for yourself and see how they carried it out .

Digital images of eyes and skin were examined by investigators to determine color using Fitzpatrick Phototype Scale. Similarly, iris patterns were characterized by Edward iris feature software and...

That's because those are Tajikistani tajiks not pamiris living in southern Tajikistan. The former are heavily intertwined, almost indistinguishable at times with uzbeks, whereas pamiris are...

Which is why Alot of this is just all moot, since skin tone which we visibly notice is determined by not only genetics but environmental factors e.g. Standard of living, climate , infrastructure (...

Although I do agree that the most lightest pashtuns do reside on average in Afghanistan, just purely based on the fact that they have significantly less south Asian like admxiture, climate, and more...

Most likely Aimaq or mixed Tajik/Aimaq /Pashtun. Aimaqs from Ghor are essentially semi nomadic Sunni hazaras.

Yep have experienced the same

Light brown is subjective, Alot of people will count light brown as blonde, and medium brown hair as light brown.

Gingers are more rare though, they just stand out way more than anything brown or dark blonde hence they get noticed. Light brown hair depends as it's subjective and also lighting plays a part, also...

I think we overestimate the percentages, among Gulf Arabs it's not even 0.3%. I can find you a crowd of almost 1000 people and you won't be able to find a blonde person, it's less than 0.001%....

I kid you not, on Reddit you have delusional little Arab teenagers who claim 20-30% Syrians are blonde blue eyed. I provided statistics and evidence from football teams, videos from cities to show...

A small portion of Syrians do look European though, whether looking like darker southern euros or not, fact is that Syrian sits between Anatolia, the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean, Mesopatamia...
