Do you think Canadians look different from Americans?

They looks quite similar, specially the anglo-canadians.

I can pretty much tell apart people from the anlogpheric countries (Uk and Ireland included) from mainland europeans/scandinavians.

Some of the most beautiful people Ive ever seen were while traveling through Eastern Europe. I think there is a slight Asiatic influence to their looks, which would explain the more pronounced cheekbones.

Its not always asian influence, remember the coldest areas in europe are in North-east europe, and northern climates favor the development of infantilized features... (littler noses, rounder faces, etc)

The OP is under the impression there's one white American look.

I thought cold climates produced larger noses?

Smash said the English look more like Danes rather than Germans. Nice selective quotation there. They look more like Danes and Dutch than Germans. Germany is a big country so geographically they decrease in similarity to the English the further away from that north/west region you go.

You know you've been informed of this Debian, that Coon merely rewrote Ripley's 1899 book the Races of Europe, and much of the data came from John Beddoe among others. Your "wild guesses" excuse is based on your clueless ignorance of the actual facts here. Please tell us why you're a better source. Some 700 posts and 95% of them are how you think the British Isles are unfairly labeled northern European.

Neither, there's probably more English than German DNA in the American genepool (if one includes all the mixes, plus blacks and natives), but a lot of Americans are just mutts. It varies regionally, of course. If you go to New York City, the 'typical' look is more dark featured, Italian/Jewish, if you went to Minnesota, more blondes. The most 'English' parts of the US would be like New England except Boston and parts of CT.

I can usually tell an Italian (of poor stock) from a northern European from a mile away, as easily as I can tell a non-white from a white. The whole idea that northern Italians look northern European is exaggerated. I went to Milan and even Como, and the people there didn't look much different to those in Naples.
