Definition of east-med race

[MINARDOWICZ]

Cypriots have more Armenoid.

I'm pretty sure this makes them east med though, no? Because they are MED + Armenoid. I think the Dinarid/Armenoid thing really separates east from west.

Officialy Pontids are a subtype of a greater East Med race. Despite many people use East Med as a classification this is in my opinion something they invented because East Med is a category of different types of "Med" race. I could be wrong because I don't know much about this, but I agree with you.

I think we already had once this discussion. But Godfather Agrippa is probably responsible for equating East-Med with Pontid. I can remember that he classfied Queen Rania from Jordan as Pontid. He made a lot of stuff up.

Typical Aegean and Mainland Greek women.

The spaniard man can be very well a pontid/alpinid. The calabrese is on the pontid spectrum.

Cappadocian Med found most abundantly in Turkey falls under the East Med branch along with other people who are not of this Cappadocian stock.

[Highlands]

It's problematic to use European examples as Textbook East Meds as they have various other influences. To me, good examples would be Near Eastern types (which lack or have minimal Arabid input in their phenotype).

Is she a good example?






or do I have the wrong idea of what East meds look like?
