I see different views on this. So, lets begin. 2 patterns:
Light pigmented, broad mandibles, short upper face, rather short nose with perhaps tendency towards concave shape, broad bizygomatic, tall, robust, heavy boned, long skull with very wide skull, rather bulbous forehead, in essence this is Coon's famous borreby guy, someone on skadi forum had him in avatar with "classify this" inscription.
And the 2nd view that differs with first mainly regarding the shape of skull, Borreby has a turriform skull, with rather slightly convex nose not like ,but somewhat heading in dinarid direction but not concave, stronger browridges which means a rather slightly receding forehead because bulbous forehead means weak browridges.
So which one is correct, perhaps both? I looked at Agrippas race tree diagram and there Borreby heads in 2 directions: one is alpinisation, the other is dinarid which forms with mediterranid admixture. So the first POV that I mention is consistent with rather a partial alpinisation of Cromagnid while the 2nd is a taurisation of cromagnid, so the latter is a cromagnid adapted to life in mountains?
I read on skadi where "Franz Josef" said that borreby skull differs from a dinarid one in that it's vertex is higher than bregma giving it a "tent like" appearance while the dinarid is flatter at the top. Could this mean a confirmation of Agrippa mediterranid admixture since mediterranids have rather low skulls so this rather extreme taurid skull was therefore modified plus the greater slenderness of dinarid introduced by mediterranid.
Also the rather flat skull walls of dinarid can be explained by mediterranid admixture?
here i think typical dinarid, Montenegrin PM, 6'6" 198 cm, flat back of the head but bregma not lower than vertex.
And here the higher vertex skull of Herzegovina Croat politician to the right, height is around 1.92, left of him Serb from west Bosnia, CM/faelid/nordid classified by Agrippa
Again vertex not higher than bregma skulls, both montenegrin, presidents of Serbia(R) and Montenegro (L) in profile. their heights are 190 and around 194, Both mostly dinarid I think especially the montenegrin, Serb has probably CM.
