What are Paleo-Atlantids?

The Paleo Atlantid type is a very archiac Northwestern sub type. It is probably one of the third oldest sub-type that is native to that part of Europe and it seems to have had its origins in the later part of the mesolithic period. This was a time frame in which the UP influences upon the British Isles and most of Northern Europe were quite considerable. The Paleo Atlantids absorbed some of the UP traits most likely of Alpinized Brunns/Borrebys. This probably added to their already robust Cro Magnonform configurment.

The Mediterranid influences might have occured near the time the Paleo Atlantids started showing up as a sub type in the British Isles and probably increased in influence into the Neolithic time frame. The North Atlantid type probably had influences on the Paleo Atlantid type slightly since they lived in close quarters to each other and it is possible that both sub-types Mediterranid strains might connect these sub types together back to the early Mesolithic time frame.

That said the evolution of the Paleo Atlantid types in Norway has probably developed a little differently than in the British Isles and is the result of an archiac Mediterranid Cro-Magnonform(Tydal) type probably merging with a UP Component like Borreby to create a heavier and stonier appearance to the type in Scandanavia. This type is very old throughout Northern Europe and unlike the Brunn which has survived not being altered by other types for the most part the Paleo Atlantid type has been altered by multiple Pre-Neolithic strains.

I heard that Brunn too can be alterated by nordics but this subtype had a strong genetic, really is very difficult determinate as cromagnoid were alterate by nordic or mediterranean traits and viceversa

In certain outlying parts of Scandinavia and Ireland, a primitive race - the Palaeo-Atlantid-still lives in small remnants (See Map 18). The Palaeo-Atlantid race is darker than the Nordid race - especially as regards to hair color. It is also coarser than the Faelish subrace, with stronger brow ridges, and a broader, plumper nose. With respect to the ABQ-blood group system, the Palaeo-Atlantid race is high in blood type gene r and low in blood type genes p and q. In the north, this race is named the Tydals race, after a village in central Norway.

Now we shall briefly outline the most important facts known to us of the still older history of the races of Europe. The present geographical distribution of these European races is shown in Map 17. The Palaeo-Atlantids are relatively unmixed and unaltered descendants of the Palaeolithic West European and North African Cro-Magnid race. The Cro-Magnids followed northwards the retreating ice boundary at the end of the Pleistocene. They lived as specialized hunters of the fauna inhabiting this part of Europe.

The Palaeo-Atlantids were never as depigmented as the Faelish and Scando-Nordid tribes who migrated after them. The latter two races have originated from other, later, closely-related Cro-Magnid proto-groups. The Faelids and Scando-Nordids were already at that time racially and culturally somewhat more highly developed. They gradually forced the Palaeo-Atlantids back into their present, barren places of refuge.

The origins of the races of Europe can be traced back to the end of the last Ice Age and the beginning of the succeeding Mesolithic period. The retreating ice cover opened up for settlement new areas of Europe. Changing climate, expanding area of settlement, and more varied habitat provided the selective forces for differentiating and molding the living races of Europe.

The descendants of the West European and North African Cro-Magnid race followed the retreating ice into western and northern Europe. The earliest migrants were the Palaeo-Atlantids, followed by the Faelish and Scando-Nordids. The depigmentation of the Faelish and Scando-Nordid races appears to have occurred as an adaptation to the cold and cloudy climate of northern Europe. The East Baltid race in adjacent areas of northeastern Europe also became strongly depigmented or blond. In the warmer and damper northwest of Europe, however, the Palaeo-Atlantid and North-Atlantid races became only partly depigmented. Thus, arose the contrast between the blond North and the brunet South of Europe which has existed for several millennia

Origin:
Re-emergence of Mesolithic-Neolithic Atlanto-Mediterranean racial type through a Nordish chrysalis; the Mediterranean strain, initially associated with the western European culture of the Megaliths, is one of the locally oldest racial strains in Britain; the Mediterranean element is more clearly emphasized than the Nordish (typically Keltic Nordic, but also Bruenn); a second, smaller Mediterranean strain (Coon's Téviec type) may have played a part in the formation of the Atlantid types (the predominance of this differentiated element yields a type known to the Roman historians as "Silurian").

Description:
The Paleo-Atlantid takes an intermediate morphological and anthropometric position between the Mediterranean and Nordish types involved in its formation, but the former elements predominate, and the impression is more usually of a "nordicized Mediterranean" than an "exotic Nordish" one.
Pigmentation is darker than with the North-Atlantid group, and dark brown and black hair is unsurpassed in the majority. The eye pigment is often heavier than what is typically Nordish, and brown and dark-mixed eyes are the rule. The skin is not seldom darker than the northern European mean, and tending more towards a southern European Mediterranean color.
