Physical Similarities
Proofs in Expanded Format

Physical Types are determined by a combination of environment and hereditary. There are indications that in some cases the physical appearance of certain peoples changed. The early North Amerindians may have looked more like "white" men than they did later. The same applies for certain peoples in Central Asia. Nevertheless, all other things being equal the researcher after a "lost" people should logically seek to find them amongst one or other of the nations that more or less look like they once did.
We cannot be sure what the Ancient Hebrews looked like but some evidence does exist. Archaeological findings from the Land of Israel and depictions of what appear to be Ancient Israelites by surrounding nations as well as a few Biblical Passages and related sources allow us to make tentative conclusions concerning their appearance. They contained elements of both dark and fair peoples. Their hair coloring could sometimes be blond, or red, or brown, or black. In some areas one or other of the different types predominated over others. On the whole they were a European type people approximating in their physical appearance to something between the present-day Jews and the inhabitants of the British Isles.
