The modern Copts have been genetically isolated for 1400 years, due to the religious apartheid that prevailed in Islamic Egypt. For all that time Copts could only intermarry with other Egyptian Christians if they wished their children to be Christians. Despite this fact, the Copts do not have a homogenous look.

Although not homogenous, some general points hold true. The darkest Copt looks sufficiently different from a black African to make the Afrocentrists claims on Egypt seem nonsensical, even if they could not be called white either. Copts don't tend to have fleshy lips, wide, high-arched nostrils, flat nasal bridges or projecting lower-faces, which are all classic features of black African populations. Their noses tend to be bulbous, rather than broad. They tend to have straight, wavy or curly hair, but not frizzy. They may have some Nilotic ancestry (as all human beings apparently do) but negroid traces in them are slight at best.
