    The 2 on top look like they have some mixed blood. The lady below looks like a picture straight from mother Africa.

    True.

    Although I do understand why Pakistanis, Afghanis etc. would like to be grouped with "Asians". And I understanwhyEnglish politicians would like to group them that way as well. It just isn't so.

    Looking at the graph it implies that indian are europeans.

    Is that really the case?

    Sri Lankan and Bangladeshis look like they are of aboriginal origin rather than european

    Plus many ppl in the indian subcontinent have mongoloid features ?

    Yes ,the above graph might be a bit misleading.:D
    It merely implies that their ancestors of modern day South Indians,Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans(?)split off from a population group(of which present day European's ancestors comprised) to form their own branch .The ancestors of present day Asians(Chinese,Japanese,Korean etc) split off to create the Asian/European population groups more earlier.

    South East Indians followed by Lapps,Berbers and Sardinians spilt off earlier than Indians from this population group(European).
    Maybe the earlier South East Indians have been the ancestors of what we now call Dravidians, and the Indians what we would call the Indo-Aryans.:think





    However clearly some mixing a gone on later in the recent and not so recent history.There are populations in and around the subcontinent with Mongoloid features. Think of the Hazaras in Afghanistan,who apparently are the descendants of Genghis Khan's invading forces.

    I have read some where indians from india are actually caucasoids or caucasian. It is not color that determines it rather facial features. The bridge of the nose or nose, the dimensions of the skull. Archeologist who could differenciate an African from a european and asian through skull features would probablly not be able to distinguish a indian from india and a european.

    I've come to the conclusion you are a Khan fan boy.

    Oh, and that you're Asian... Which would explain it.
