Is the concept of "gracile (http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/gloss1.htm#GRACILE) CroMagnid" valid? Or are all CMs by definition robust (http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/gloss2.htm#ROBUST)?

If it is valid, what would one look like?

Basically, there are just the protomorphic Berids which are sometimes more gracile, otherwise most rather gracile Cromagnoids are already rather derivative forms and show deviating traits.

Aurignacoids/Nordid-Suedeuropid seems to be able to change in size and robustness significantly without changing the basic blueprint so to say. Cromagnoids on the other hand were, on a bigger scale, almost always generally reduced, changed proportions and became mostly brachycephalised and more infantile.

It might be the easist and fastest way for them to become more gracile and reduced - for some unknown other reasons.

Most other gracile Cromagnoids show varying degrees of admixture.
