well, Geo consists from different tribes of Caucasus region. people differ (in terms of external face) from region to region, the dialect, dress, dances. Western Georgians have little bit light color of hair, while Easterns have dark.

i don't think u are right,same amount of eastern georgians have light color of hair as western georgians do, so u are wrong. u will see light color haired persons in every part of georgia as well as dark colored. regions don't really matter in the complexion of georgians.

Actually, Basque is not closer to Georgian but to Abkhaz language (and especially vocabulary).
In Georgian, there are words influenced by Farsi. For ex. "yes": ~kho (in Farsi), ~kho (in Georgian, popular language).

Trying to link the Basque language to Fino-Ugric or Caucasian languages has failed and it is obsolete.
