They are too ancient to be playing something weird like pop-indie

Coxon - KN-Atlantid? but we can't see forehead shape/size

The all fall under the greater Atlantid spectrum but with some different admix sub-racial elements.

Damon Albarn: I would say looks N. Atlantid overall but you make a good argument for the last one.

Okay, but what is Mediterranean about him? Because North Atlantids are supposed to have a Mediterranean strain. Going by Coon's taxonomy he should fit generally within the "Nordic" spectrum with some indigenous NW European CM influence.

Yeah, I don't see med in him per se, I'm just going more by pictures I have seen of other N. Atlantids and some morphed images of them.

:rolleyes: They're no longer in a band.

This was when they were in an award-winning Southern English Brit-pop band during the 90's era, and had no.1 UK hits against their Northern English Brit-pop rivals Oasis, who would often diss each other at the Brit Awards. Oasis represented the north and Blur represented the south in the age-old north-south English rivalry.

Alex James (the bass player pictured above and below,) is from my original hometown of Bournemouth, Dorset, on the south-west coast of England. He was a bright student who academically earned his way into a grammar school like my sister.

Alex James met his future bandmate (Graham Coxon) while he was studying French at Goldsmiths, University of London.

He made his fortune whilst playing the bass guitar in Blur, and he's now running his own farm in the countryside... and he's passionate about cheese and is a professional cheesemaker. He writes about cheese-making and writes articles about food. He's written articles for many major national newspapers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_James_(musician)

Alex James (pictured below) when he was in the Brit award-winning band Blur during the 90's era, (he looked extremely similar to a nice 17 year old boy who I was close friend's with, from Andover, Hampshire, in the adjacent county to Dorset.)

The lead vocalist Damon Albarn (from Whitechapel, East Central London,) when he was in the 90's Brit-pop band Blur and was winning awards. He's now 50: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Albarn

I was never into Brit-pop music (there was a massive Britpop-Indie mainstream music scene in the 90's UK,) but these top hit songs are humorous. :cool:

The gobby and rude Gallagher brothers from the northern English Britpop band Oasis dissing Blur at the Brit Awards, by mock-singing 'parklife' whilst collecting their awards.... and changing the lyrics to 'shite life'...
