The Phenotype of the Portuguese

[PT|EN]

The Phenotype of a person, or group of people, is the composite of ones individual outward characteristics resulting from the interaction of ones same genotype with the environment.

This blog takes into account the interpretation of the physical analogy of the ethnic people of Portugal, therefore, the material description of the Portuguese people as a group.
For such, national public figures of the continent and isles were elected in a bracket to determine the phenotype of the population, respecting a structure of propinquity.

This segment exhibited an anchorage among individuals that came to designate a cluster joint among the Portuguese.




Phenotype

The Ethnic Portuguese populace is relatively Homogeneous, from North to South and Islands. Little to no bits and pieces of the rabble show heterogeneous elements.[4][8][9]

Its Phenotype is for the most part defined as Atlantic and Mediterranean. Collateral components include Cro-Magnon, sharing clear connections with Spain, particularly Galicia and Extremadura and on wards the peninsula to the South-Western periphery of France.[3][11][17][18]

"The selfsame Anthropological, Cultural and erstwhile-History acknowledges the existence of an Atlantic focus, Portuguese or Galician-Portuguese, since the pre-historical period of time.
A focus independent from the Mediterranean world. Original, creator, expansive and recognizable, most notably since the Portuguese Megalithic culture, to what perhaps is connected to the paramount and remote specimens of one of the oldest writings. The writings to what I call, Proto-Iberian."
- Professor A. Mendes Corrêa, António

The physiognomy is uniformly regular and symmetric.

Its oval cephaly present a likeness of rectangular accord in males, and triangular among females.
The cheek-bones are ere prominent and the face is long, with eyes displaying a deep look of hooded and upturned sockets.
Such noses are narrow and straight. The upper lips short and slightly turned outwards withal the under lip exactly matching it and the whole mouth rather thin, with jaw-bones that do not project and the cheek-bones, though formerly prominent, not large.[10]
Concluding that, the majority of the population present a Dolicho-Mesocephalic index.[5][6][11][14]

The prevailing expression of the males is temperate and modest. The females's mild, delicate and amiable.

Pigmentation

Brown Hair in tones of Light, Medium, Dark and Brown or Hazel Eyes predominate in a majority of the ruck.
This shades of Hair and Eye color is solid among the population, accounting more up atop 70 - 80% of the Portuguese multitude.[1]
•See Brunette template•

Blonde Hair tonality from very Fair to Dirty Blond and Blue or Green Eyes is also recorded with regular frequency.
This hue constitutes around 17 - 20% of the Portuguese multitude, with approximately ±15% light blond shades, and the remainder medium to ash blond.[1][16]
•See Blonde template•

Red Hair is less spotted, but seen on occasion along with Chestnut and Auburn-colored hair types.
This tint constitutes 1 - 3% of the Portuguese multitude, peeking up to 4 - 5% forthwith Russet tones bordering brown.[1]
•See Redhead template•

The Skin Pigmentation of the Portuguese rind varies from light pink to intermediate white and tanned.
Regardless, fair types are far more consistent in the North followed by Center and South, due to Natural selection - Irradiation.[2][16][21]

  2. Some of the anti-Portuguese statements posted here are blatantly racist! This anti-Spanish crap ignores the history when Spain invaded and occupied the Netherlands and Portugal for at least 60 years. Also Portuguese and Spanish are two separate languages, it's very insulting to speak Spanish in Portugal expecting them to understand, why don't the Spanish racists that have posted comments just speak German and Cantonese the next time they visit Portugal and Brazil too?

    4. Everybody wants to cherry pick politics when it comes to languages. Everyone that just says Portuguese & Spanish belong to the same Hispanic language & are very similar and then they Want to say "Spanish Is More closer. To other Euro Languages than it is to Portuguese"? And then you got your Portuguese speakers/ peoples saying "our language is closer to other European languages than Spanish" And now you want to say "Spanish & Portuguese are separate languages"? But yet Spanish is NOT a separate language to another European language that's not even in the Iberian peninsula or Ceuta or the ballearic islands or those islands off the coast of Morocco. Both Portuguese & Spanish speakers act like their language is "Closer to Ukrainian French Russian Italian & Greek than they are to each other"! That's beyond laughable. That would be like a Japanese person saying his language is closer to Urdu & Pashto than it is to Korean. Just admit it Spain & Portugal you are Twin brothers like New Zealand & Australia Are or Colombia & Venezuela or Kosovo & Albania are

  10. i'm not Portuguese but without offense to any person of any nationality , Portuguese are the real descendant's of the European first peoples , despite of so many invasions and mixes they still have the biggest percentage of DNA, adding the past millenniums, don't be jealous guys because we all got a little of that Portuguese in our DNA from Europe to Asia to the rest of planet , if you wanna make a few tests you can visit the country to see with your own eyes the ruins of fortified cities of your ancestors more older than the great world of china , peace be with you .

    2. A race isn't determined solely by a body of water, that's pseudo-scientific. Mediterranean sea isn't a catch-all one size fits all appearance of people. So Spanish people people southern Italians & Greeks have more in common with the Middle East Indian Ocean Arab peoples Malays & Hindus than somebody from Luxembourg, Switzerland, Belgium, Northern/Central Italy Austria/Germany France & the UK which would be their fellow European neighbour's, Which is a much smaller continent than Asia Africa. So to you a white guy from Barcelona has more in common with somebody from Indonesia Kuwait or Dubai Then he does somebody from Switzerland, yeah that makes zero sense.

  23. My Great Grandmother was Portuguese I'm in your depiction of them I see nothing of a resemblance of my great grandmother. She was dark black and very straight long jet black hair that she wore in two ponytails. Great Grandma Linda married a white canady and came to Virginia Beach Virginia. Great Grandpa Henry died when I was six and Great Grandma Linda died when I was about 16 17. I'm trying to find out more about their lives and my family so my children will know their his-stroy...

  26. I'm not Portuguese, my research on them brought me to this site. It's sad to see the senseless hate among so many people. If you feel the information on this site is racist or erroneous, go write yours.

    I'm a black girl from Africa and I don't feel less a human because some bunch of illiterate self conceited so-called Europa feels superior because of his frail weak and wrinkled skin.
    I treat every human as equal irrespective of nationality. I'm currently writing a book titled Hapuch's Diary based on Portuguese setting and the information on this site is helpful.

  27. Mas voces sao racistas mesmo, e por isso que eu continuo a dizer a verdade quando os meus colegas ingleses me perguntam sobre portugal. Eu sempre digo "nao vai pra la, sao racistas e pensam que sao melhores que todos" mesmo sabendo que sao uns dos brancos mais escuros que ha e alem disso nao tem uma boa economia individual. Parei de viver em Portugal desde 2015 and ouvi dizer que mudaram etc etc mas aparentemente mentiram. E por isso que ninguem gosta de voces pa, nem os espanhois e muito menos os brasileiros. Olhem pro mundo ao vosso redor e encarem a verdade! O vosso racismo nunca funcionou e nunca vai funcionar, os racistas sao sempre inferiores e simplesmente uma anomalia na nossa sociedade moderna. Entao achas que es superior e mais inteligente simplesmente porque tens menos melanina que eu? lol, idiota. Mas nao digo isso sobre todos os portugueses, sim desses racistas.
