Question

Why do most Greek and Portuguese have black hair and dark eyes?Are they mixed with people other than European?

Answer 1

Why wouldn't they? Black hair/dark eyes is the commonest combination on earth.

Answer 2

portuguese are dark becouse they are of spanish decent. and I dont know how many times i have to say this but there acctully is ALOT of fair hair'd and light eyed greek people . I acctully DONT have any dark hair'd family members. and by the way Greeks are the pureist race of cacuasians on the plant. there has been scientififc studys to figure out which race of people  were the least mixed of any other culture and it was greeks.

Answer 3

Suddenly Kato Tumba, you are a n***s

Answer 4

They are european & caucasian. Many more people have dark hair/eyes than light even in Europe,and it's been that way since time began. Fair & eyes are a recessive variation.

Answer 5

I cant speak for the Portuegese but we Greeks dont have black hair. Most Greeks like a good 80% (and i am not  exaggerating) have BROWN hair (dark, medium or light). The rest have blond, black and sometimes red hair. A good 85-90% of us have white pinkish skin. The rest are olive skinned (which is mostly Greeks from the islands)

And i should add most of the 'dark Greeks' are usually the ones from the ISLANDS BECAUSE ITS HOT IN THE ISLANDS!!. The ones in the mainland are much lighter and fairer, since 90% of the mainland is mountainous and has an Alpine climate, opposed to a Mediterranean climate found on the islands. This is why you get all sort of Greeks, because it all depends where in Greece you are from, if you are from Greek Macedonia you tend to be blond, if you are from Crete you tend to be tanned with black hair and if you are Sparta you tend to be a white brunette. It all depends WHERE in Greece you are from.

Answer 6

You think some one's not "european" if they have black hair and dark eyes?

AAACK!

Answer 7

Hmm, actually they are mostly brown haired and light skinned. They picked up a little North African DNA when the Moors invaded, but they were mostly Caucasian too, so it wouldn't have made a lot of difference.

Answer 8

are you 12?

Answer 9

That is the general appearance of most people in the Mediterranean area - Spanish, Italian, Turk, Egyptian, Moroccan, etc.

Answer 10

Probably due to a mixture of the moors during the moor invasions...  they are known as the northern african black folks.  you could include the itlalians as well
