The first concept about ideal beauty was developed by the ancient Greeks. At all times, this indicator is unified in one way or another. Based on beauty ratings, you can understand which nations are considered the most beautiful.
Latin Americans
Representatives of Venezuela have won the Miss World international beauty contest six times. Many popular supermodels today come from Brazil, and world-famous fashion models are from there: Marlon Teixeira, Francisco Lachowski, Gisele Bundchen (pictured), Gracie Carvalho.
These and some other Latin American countries, for example, Argentina, are always among the leaders in the rankings of the most beautiful peoples in the world. The secret of success lies in the ethnic diversity of the population of these countries. The descendants of the indigenous population, slaves from Africa (Brazil, Venezuela), and settlers from Europe live there; there is a large amount mixed marriages. All this formed the attractive image of modern Brazilians, Venezuelans and other Latin Americans. In the photo - Marta Vasconcellos (Brazil) - Miss Universe 1968
Slavs
The Slavs are the largest group of peoples in Europe, united by linguistic kinship. There are up to 350 million Slavs in the world. Among them, in various top beauty lists, first of all, such representatives are singled out Eastern Slavs like Russians and Ukrainians.
Here - similar story with Latinos. By virtue of historical development countries, the annexation of a number of lands during the Russian state, Russian Empire, USSR, modern Russians also received a variety of appearance types.

Scandinavians
European ladies have long been intrigued by the heroes of northern legends, men of Scandinavian appearance: tall, physically developed blonds with blue eyes. Blonde northern women also excited the hearts and minds of foreigners. And in modern beauty rankings, Sweden, Denmark and Norway often occupy places in the top five. However, despite the fact that in these countries there is still a large number of natural blondes, due to the multiculturalism existing in Europe, everything appears in the Scandinavian countries more people completely different appearance. In this regard, ethnographers predict a significant decline in the population of the traditional Scandinavian type in these countries. In the photo - Kuusela Army (Finland) - Miss Universe 1952.
Japanese
Considered the most beautiful among nations East Asia. They tend to have oval faces, almond-shaped eyes, and a more expressive nose compared to the Chinese and Koreans. In addition, white-skinned people are common in Japan. The peculiarities of the appearance of the Japanese are largely explained by the long-term closeness of the island state. Despite the fact that Portuguese sailors reached the Japanese coast in 1543, Japan began to fully contact the West only in the second half of the 19th century.

Indians
According to the theory of “Indo-Aryan migrations,” tribes of the same name penetrated into the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. e. Gradually they moved south and east. As a result, they assimilated with the indigenous population and passed on the language and Vedic culture to them.
At the same time, ethnic diversity was formed, the preservation of which was facilitated by centuries-old caste system. To this day, the skin color of the upper castes is lighter than that of the lower castes. Among modern Indians, oval faces are common, big eyes, large lips, black smooth hair. It is not uncommon to see people with narrow noses. Height rarely exceeds 185 cm, but Sikhs stand out here, whose height is 5-10 cm above the national average.

Lebanese
These Middle Easterners also score high on beauty lists. The bulk of the Lebanese population are Arabs, about whom one of the ratings wrote “the most beautiful in Arab world" In order to appreciate the appearance of the Lebanese, it is not at all necessary to go to their homeland. Among the celebrities there are many people from Lebanon.
So, the wife is Lebanese by origin Hollywood actor George Clooney, lawyer Amal Alamuddin. Also worth noting are model Rosarita Tawil, hip-hop artist Massari and three-time Emmy Award winner actor Tony Shalhoub. In addition, actress Salma Hayek and singer Shakira are half Lebanese (on their father's side). In the photo - Georgina Risk (Lebanon) - Miss Universe 1971
The two ugliest nations in Europe have been named
The existence of “ugly nations” has recently been confirmed once again. The veracity of this fact was proven by the site BeautifulPeople.com, where only handsome men and beauties can register. As practice shows, registration is most often denied to residents of the two countries.
According to gzt.ru, only 12% of British men and 15% of women were able to complete the registration procedure on this popular Internet resource, the main condition of which is an attractive appearance.
According to the rules of the site, already registered users, within 48 hours, evaluate the appearance of each newbie who wants to be registered, who must send his latest photo.
At the same time, newcomers are evaluated by registered representatives of the opposite sex. After studying the photo, they must choose one of four answer options, from “of course yes” to “of course no.”
The most successful applicants for joining this virtual club are Swedish men who receive a “pass” to the world beautiful people in 65% of cases. Among the fair sex, representatives from Norway hold a confident lead, receiving approval in 76% of cases.
Of the 295 thousand Britons who tried to register on the site, only 35 thousand were able to do so in the end.
BeautifulPeople.com was founded in Denmark in 2002 and has become popular in many countries. Only for two last weeks registered site members rejected 1.8 million applications received from 190 countries. At the same time, only 360 thousand people became new members of the club - i.e. 17% of those interested.
Apart from Sweden and Norway, applications from Brazil are the most favored. In addition to the British, Germans also receive the largest number of refusals.
According to the publication's experts, the lack of demand for the British may be due to their unhealthy lifestyle. "While in many countries the cult is being promoted healthy image life, in Britain it is considered a rule to go straight to the pub after finishing the working day,” says BeautifulPeople.com manager Gregg Hodge, who, by the way, is also an Englishman by nationality.
“THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, BY ARISTOCRATIC CHARACTERISTICS, ARE THE GEORGIANS!”
“All European travelers who have ever visited Georgia unanimously recognize the beauty and charm of the Circassian and Georgian girls. Turks, Arabs, Persians, of course, share this idea, since with all their hearts they wanted to ennoble their people with Georgian blood, which the Persians managed to achieve.”
(Immanuel Kant - German philosopher, founder of German classical philosophy)
“When describing the Persians, the ancient traveler Chardin says: “Their blood has now been extremely ennobled due to frequent marriages with Georgians and Circassians, two nations that surpass all others in beauty. There is hardly a single noble person in Persia whose mother was not Georgian or Circassian.” +
(Charles Darwin - English naturalist and traveler)
"The most beautiful people of the world, according to aristocratic features and slender figure, are the Georgians.”
(German scientist Ritzel ("Znob. Purzeli" No. 1020))
The famous Chardin writes in 1671:
“The Kartvelian tribe is the most beautiful in the entire East and even, I can say, in the whole world. Here I could not see a single ugly person and not a single ugly woman. They are all beautiful. Most Georgian women are gifted with such charm that you will not find anywhere else. It is difficult to depict the beauty of the face and grace of the figure of a Georgian woman: they are personable, gentle, and have a thin figure. You rarely see fat women.”
Memoire sur l'ethnographie de la Perse" (Paris, 1866):
“The Georgian nation has long been distinguished by the grace of its type, and the Persians and Turks owe to the purity of Georgian and Circassian blood the improvement of their naturally rude type, which was helped by countless evictions that have been carried out from Georgia and Circassia for a long time.”
Emile Francois Dessen
“...Georgians, although a warlike people, know how to appreciate pleasure. Cuisine and dancing are their strongest national traits. In the numerous gardens bordering Tiflis, and on the terraces - the roofs of the Tiflis sakels - you can often see flocks of young girls and boys performing fiery dances ... "
“In appearance, Georgians are among the most beautiful peoples globe; They tall and strong build, have a delicate and clear complexion, luxurious hair and big eyes. Georgians are kind-hearted, affectionate and highest degree hospitable. Their passion for dancing and singing is remarkable…” (from “Geography of the Russian Empire” 1892).
Blumenbach considered the ideal of a person whose origins were Georgian , believing it to be a prototype white man. He wrote: Caucasian type - for study I took exactly this type, the mountain type of the Caucasus, because its southern slope produces the most beautiful race of people, by this race I primarily mean Georgians.”
Georgian-Circassian settlements in Iran
Mixed Georgian-Circassian settlements, as well as separate Circassian settlements, were founded in the 17th century. in Fars province. Pietro Della Valle, who visited these places in 1621, noted that the plain around Asupas was dotted with Circassian and Georgian settlements. The settlements of Circassians and Georgians in Kashk-i-Zar and Main were called upon, according to the Shah’s plan, to protect the Isfahan-Shiraz road from Kurdish robbery raids.
Sir Thomas Herbert passed through this area in 1627: “We spent the next night in Asupas; in and around it live at least forty thousand Georgians and Sarkash (Circassians) who profess Christianity; they venerate Saint George and consider the Cappadocian bishop their patron.
They are distinguished from Muslims by their gray eyes, which Aristotle considered the most important sign of temperament, in contrast to the black color of most Persians; as well as long blond hair, which they, like the ancient dandies from the descriptions of Pliny and Lucian, tie together with thin bandages of silk, gold or silver. And if one of them converts to Islam, which happens more and more often, they consider it very despicable. Poor souls! When they learned that we were Christians, they crowded around us and many of them shed tears.”
(Quoted from: Oberling P. Georgians and Circassians in Iran, p.140.)
Georgians are a warlike and fearless people. They are brave warriors, strong in body and firm in faith. The countless army of Georgians inspires fear in the Saracens. Many times they caused great damage to Persia, Media and Assyria, near whose borders they live, always surrounded by tribes of infidels.
These people call themselves Georgians because they worship and venerate St. George, whom they chose as their patron and put his image on their banners, which they carry during battle. They revere George above all other saints. The Persians called the Georgians “Gurj”, which means wolf, and their country Gurjistan is the land of wolves.
Arab chronicler and political figure al-Umari (died 1348) describes the Georgians as "supporters of the religion of the cross", adding that the Mamluk sultans of Egypt usually addressed the Georgian ruler in their messages as "To the great monarch, the hero, the brave man, just to his subjects, the successor of the Greek rulers, the defender of the land of his knights, the defender of the faith in Jesus, sacred leader of Christian heroes, best of friends and friend of rulers and sultans." For their part, the Georgian rulers emphasized their role as defenders of the faith by placing on their coins the inscription “Sword of Faith” or “Defender of the Lord”, written in Arabic and Persian ...

Great importance appearance The ancient Greeks were the first to pay attention. They even created a certain cult of the body. Over time, it became a disease throughout the world. Despite the diversity existing nations, the indicator of beauty has become more or less unified. It is not surprising that there have long been ratings of the most beautiful nations on the planet.
Latin Americans
On international competition“Miss World” representatives of Venezuela took first place six times in a row. Some of the most popular models and fashion models today are mostly from Brazil. These are Marlon Teixeira, Francisco Lachowski, Gisele Bundchen, Gracie Carvalho.
It is believed that the secret of Latin American beauty lies solely in ethnic diversity. IN Latin America There are both indigenous descendants and descendants of slaves from Africa, as well as immigrants from Europe. In the conditions of such diversity of nations, a large number of mixed marriages were created, and their children became more and more beautiful.
Slavs
There are about 350 million Slavs on the planet. They represent the most large nation which unites linguistic relationship. At various beauty contests, of all the Slavs, more attention is paid to Russian and Ukrainian beauties. The history of beauty of the Slavs is quite similar to the history of Latin Americans. During the development of the state, new lands and peoples were annexed, due to which a large number of mixed marriages were formed, which led to ethnic diversity.
Scandinavians
Foreign girls always looked with admiration at the legendary northern heroes, who charmed with their white hair, blue eyes and beautiful physically developed bodies. The men also paid Special attention to northerners. Representatives from Sweden, Norway and Denmark regularly occupy places in the top five. However, it is known that this nation of blondes is in danger of extinction. Due to multiculturalism in Scandinavian countries, representatives with a completely uncharacteristic appearance began to appear more and more. Scientists fear that over time, people of the traditional Scandinavian type will become only part of history.
Japanese
In the eastern part of the world, the Japanese are considered the most beautiful nation. White-skinned representatives are often found among them. The Japanese have expressive almond-shaped eyes and a neater nose than the Chinese. The reason for such an attractive appearance is the long isolation of the Japanese from the general world. This happened due to the fact that the state is an island. Japan began to establish full contacts with outside world only in the second half of the 19th century.
Indians
Among the representatives of the peoples of South Asia, Indians are considered the most beautiful nation. They have quite exotic appearance compared to the rest of the world. There is a theory called the “Indo-Aryan Migration”, according to which the settlers who entered the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent assimilated with the indigenous population and also passed on the language and Vedic culture to them. However, thanks to the strict caste system, ethnic diversity emerged. Until now, representatives of different castes differ strikingly from each other in skin color. The skin of the rich is significantly lighter. Indians are characterized by oval-shaped faces and relatively short stature; it is rare to find an Indian whose height reaches 185 cm.
Lebanese
The Lebanese are also one of the most beautiful nations on earth. The majority of this nation is Arabs. In order to be convinced of the beauty of the Lebanese, it is not at all necessary to travel to the Middle East. Among the celebrities on the podium there are quite a lot of representatives from Lebanon. Amal Alimuddin, the wife of Hollywood actor George Clooney, is Lebanese by origin. Model Rosaritou Tawil, hip-hopper Massari and actor Tony Shalouba are also Lebanese. Moreover, Salma Hayek and Shakira are half Lebanese.
