I posted her photos on the Caucasian girls thread but I think she deserve her own thread







Opinions?

Pred. Baltid with Mtebid influence or Baltid+Mtebid.

There's nothing even remotely Baltid about her.
I think she's pred. pontid with some Armenoid+Iranid.

Armenoids and Iranids are long-and narrow-faced, while her face is only slightly elongated and rather broad, as far as one can tell from the pictures.

Broad face is actually typical for Caucasian Armenoid types, especially in her case.

Isn't that like saying every Norwegian is Borreby? This approach fails to explain the variation within the populations. A Norwegian or Swede for example can be Borreby, Alpinoid, Nordid, Dinarid, Baltid or Balto-Cromagnoid.

Armenoids are long- and narrow-faced by definition. However, in the Russian school of anthropology, there is mention of a so called Caucasionid race, which is a broad-faced type.

To the contrary. Wide face is their most notorious feature. I think you are confusing Armenoid with Dinarid, which are similar but Dinarid is somewhat more progressive.

[Raskolnikov]

The Caucasionid/Mtebid type is probably the result of Baltid admixture in the Armenids at Russia's border. Likewise, I think many Pontids examples are rather Baltid influenced, with the actual Pontid being more Mediterranid.

I looked at an assortment of examples offline and tried to put them together by appearance. The lighter-broader Pontids and Mtebid examples looked similar and at the least explicable by Baltid admixture.

Mtebids proper i.e. Georgian type is more like the result of Alpinoid admix into Armenoids. Now Caucasions that are often found along Caucasus ridge both in Georgia and North Caucasus evolved from Armenoids admixed with archaic Cromagnids.

And Chechens additionally to Crom admixture often have Balt and Ost Balt inputs like this fellow
