I can show you a red head armenian, and also a sefarad jew that looks like he was from Maghreb, and people from Maghreb who are blonde with blue eyes. The marvels of genetics and gene transfers from one pool to another.
Trying to tell who is from what part of the world just by guessing by their features is doomed to failure. It has been long demonstrated that such practices are based on nothing but wind that smells of a nauseous past.
(Just for your information, an injection of foreign genes every 20 generations is far sufficient to completely destroy the effects of isolation. Perhaps i'll look for references in my archives, right now i have other matters, far more pressing.
