People of the North Caucasus are a good example of genotype / phenotype "mismatch."

They genetically cluster with Iranians and Turks, so you would expect them to look like typical swarthy Middle Easterners. Then you look at pictures and half of them have Northern European skin and eye pigmentation, and some of them are blond too.

Even though they cluster with Middle Easterners, they predominantly descend from East European Hunter-Gatherers, Caucasus HG, and Anatolian Neolithic Farmers, all of whom had genes for light pigmentation.

Pics are: Georgians, Dargins, Abkhazians, and Circassians.

Incomplete racial world map from a modern genetics paper:

Definitely not 100% accurate, but these maps show the geographic distribution of "inferred ancestry components that are relatively unchanging and common to the ADMIXTURE results" AKA human racial groups in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and South Asia.

Africans are divided into the following "ancestral components" (races):
- Ethio-Somali (Horn African)
- Niger-Congo (West African)
- Nilo-Saharan (East African)
- Khoisan (South African)
- Pygmy

And West Eurasians / Caucasoids are divided into:
- Europeans
- "Eurasian" (West Asian?)
- Arabian
- Maghrebi (North African)
- South Asians (Indians; technically a mixed-race population with ancestry from Caucasoids and the Australoid native inhabitants of India).

Unbelievable that "scientific" race denialism exists when geneticists constantly produce updated high-tech versions of 19th Century racial world maps.
