Best Answer

First of all, all humans are geneticly similar. The Turks are a mixed population of Caucasoid (European and Arab) types and Mongoloid (Turkic) peoples. Italians on the other hand are essentially European. It is also good to note that many Turks look European due to Greek and Celtic colonisation in ancient times.

Could Jesus possibly have dark skin being born of the continent of Asia?

If Jesus had dark skin, it would not be a result of being born on the Asian continent. Siberians are born in Asia and do not have dark skin. Most likely, Jesus' skin color was determined by the dominant ethnicities in the region. He would have "Mediterranean coloration", which is the "darker" Caucasian color, that Southern Spaniards, Southern Italians, Turks, and Arabs all have.

Are Syrians Caucasian?

Syrians are a mixture of Arameans and Assyrians mixed with a number of other nationalities, including Greeks and Turks. It may be that their racial identity is mixed because of centuries of conquering and assimilation by other peoples. Arabian influences increased during the 7th Century.
