In terms of languages Europe is more diverse. In terms of looks Europe is more diverse.

In terms of languages yes. Not historically speaking but the Arabs did wipe out a lot of indigenous languages which were replaced with Arabic.
In terms of looks not really. In fact I'd say middle-east has more extreme range. Don't forget the negroids in south Yemen, the remainants of Mongol tribes in Afghanistan, Alpines in Lebanon and the Caucaus mountains, Dinarids in Armenia, Irano-nordoids across the IRanian plateau and Afghanistan.

well there are Armenians and Hazaras in Iran too so it doesn't matter for my argument.
It kind of depends which source you look at as to whether Armenia or Afghanistan are part of the middle east. In reality ther is no God-defined region called the middle-east, only general areas sociologists have grouped together.

If were referring to Middle East proper, not including the Caucauses or Near East, the middle east is not more diverse than Europe.
For the past two thousand years there have been three very dominant nations, Arabs, Turks, Persians as a result they represent the majorirty of people in the region today.

No, it is an out-dated nazi term referring to skull shapes not hair/eye colour etc. The man in my avatar is an example of this classification.
