Now, we can compare these types in absolute dimensions.

Head length:

Brunn > Nordic > Borreby > Mediterranean > Baltic > Alpine > Dinaric

Head width:

Borreby > Dinaric > Baltic = Alpine > Brunn > Nordic > Mediterranean

Bigonial:

Borreby > Brunn > Baltic > Dinaric = Alpine > Nordic > Mediterranean

Face length:

Brunn > Nordic > Borreby = Dinaric > Baltic = Mediterranean = Alpine


Another analysis:

Brunns have VERY LONG faces, WIDE jaws, VERY LONG heads, and MEDIUM WIDTH heads

Borrebies have MODERATELY LONG faces, VERY WIDE jaws, MODERATELY LONG heads, and VERY WIDE heads

Nordics have LONG faces, NARROW jaws, LONG heads, and NARROW heads

Alpines have SHORT faces, MEDIUM jaws, SHORT heads, and MODERATELY WIDE heads

Mediterraneans have SHORT FACES, VERY NARROW jaws, MODERATELY LONG heads, and VERY NARROW heads

Dinarics have MODERATELY LONG faces, MEDIUM jaws, VERY SHORT heads, and WIDE heads

Baltics have SHORT FACES, MODERATELY WIDE jaws, MODERATELY SHORT heads, and MODERATELY WIDE heads

Can anyone explain what is meant with head length and facial height? Is facial height from the chin to hairline or chin to eyebrow? Is head length from front to back or is it from chin to top?
