You see “stereotypical Jewish features” (big nose, curly hair, strong profile, etc.) all the time. But is that actually ancient Israelite DNA shining through, or just a weird Ashkenazi founder effect from being stuck in shtetls for centuries?

Mizrahi Jews often just look like regular Middle Easterners. Sephardim can be all over the place. Ashkenazis seem to have the strongest “recognizable” features but are also the most inbred historically.

So did ancient Israelites actually have that look, or would they just have been generic Levantines indistinguishable from Phoenicians or Syrians?

Also, modern Jewish women with those features can be ridiculously hot in a biblical matriarch kinda way. Anyone got reconstructions, articles, or even modern pics that make a good case for what ancient Judeans really looked like?

It's because of inbreeding, most Ashkenazis look like ugly white people like Zuckerberg.

I really wonder what jews are as they have been all killed by the romans and the crusades

Its just the MENA + Euro look
I know many MENA/Euro mutts and they look jewish most of the time

>>17807942 (OP)
its odd because the other semitic groups don't possess the same features at all.

>>17807975
They do
Its just that there is something called neotony/dimorphism and also they had additional negro admixture

The stereotype jews are just Armenian.
They look more jewish than jews

Uneducated answer that's correct:
They looked like people in the area nowadays: Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians.

IIRC Iraqi Jews are genetically closest to Ancient Israelites.

No. While the Turkish proverb about Armenians being jews who followed a rolling coin into the church has a grain of truth - they are both middleman minorities - they don't look the same. The guy on your photo for instance has a massive nose but it has these kind of sharp beak shape, jews have these weird oblong hotdogs.

Yes. Ashkenazi Jews are European + Levantine with a majority of European ancestry. Those features are what distinguish them from Europeans. Some Europeans on the borders of Europe have pseudo-Jewish features, but this is only because Levantine admixture is found on the border of Europe.

If you don't have a big nose you don't belong in the Middle East. It's their default state when they don't have negro admixture. It even applied to the ancient Egyptians.

YOU ARE CONFUSING CONCEPTS, AND TERMS: ISRAELITES ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF JACOB ALIAS ISRAEL; ISRAELIS ARE THE CITIZENS OF THE TERRORIST STATE OF ISRAEL; ISRAELIANS WERE PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL; JUDEANS WERE THE PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM OF JUDAH; JUDAHITES WERE THE PEOPLE OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH; JUDAISTS ARE THE ADHERENTS OF A JEWISH PAGANICAL SECT; JEWS ARE THE CURRENT PEOPLE DESCENDED FROM THE JUDAISTS OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

THE ANCIENT ISRAELITES PROBABLY SEEMED LIKE CURRENT GREEKS, OR SOUTHERN TURKISH, BUT WE CANNOT ACTUALLY KNOW.

THE ASHKENAZIM ARE THE PRODUCT OF IBERIAN JUDAISTIC - SLAVIC - GERMANIC MESTIZATION.

BIG NOSE, AND WAVY, OR CURLY, HAIR, ARE TRAITS THAT ARE COMMON TO MOST MEDITERRANEAN, AND MESOPOTAMIC, PEOPLE; THE NOTION THAT THESE TRAITS ARE EXAGGERATED IN JEWISH PEOPLE IS PARTLY FALLACIOUS, ACQUIRED FROM MODERN, AND CONTEMPORARY, POLITICAL CARICATURES; IT IS PARTLY VERACIOUS: SINCE ETHICS, AND MORALS, SUPERORDINATE ETHNICITY, AND GENETICS, WICKED CUSTOMS ENGENDER WICKED PEOPLE IN EVERY SENSE —SPIRITUAL, AND MATERIAL—; JUDAISM IS THE ANTIRELIGION BY ANTONOMASIA, THEREFORE, CENTURIES OF JUDAISTIC MATING SELECTION HAVE PRODUCED GENERATIONAL UGLINESS, IN SOME REGIONS MORE THAN IN OTHERS, AND WITH CONSIDERABLE LOCAL VARIANCE.
