Castiza is a classification, isn't it?

Castiza is a classification, isn't it?

Is actually a combo. Castizos are a mix of European (in most cases Spanish) and Amerindian, in which the European side is 75% or more.

But there are different subtypes (Centralids, Margids, Brasilids, etc) when we talk about Amerindian phenotypes, as well as different subtypes (Atlantid, Alpinid, Atlanto Med, Cromagnid, etc) when we talk about European phenotypes. So the question is, which combination of Amerindian and European subtypes are present in this castiza??

Alpinid + Med

[alnortedelsur]

Alpinid + Med

I also see some slight amerindian admixture in her, particularly more noticeable in the first three pictures.

Castiza Atlanto-Med

Any subtype on her Amerindian side??

So, you agree??

[Gauthier]

So, you agree??

Yes, it is very minor though.

[Sikeliot]

Honestly if I didn't know, I'd have said Paleoatlantid.

[alnortedelsur]

Honestly if I didn't know, I'd have said Paleoatlantid.

Yeah, she always looked to me as fully white, more likely of Fully Iberian or a combination of mostly Iberian with some minor French admixture, like it is the case of most white Mexicans. But when I googled her to open this thread, and saw those pics of her (particularly the first three ones), I detected that she actually has a slight Amerindian admixture, because that's slightly visible in those pics.

However, I also have to point out that from most angles (and particularly when you see her in action, and not in static pics), she looks like a fully white girl that would perfectly pass as a regular Spaniard brunette.

You have said it yourself bro, castiza.

Yes, but check my answer to JoeyGee8688, on the first page of this thread:

Yes, but check my answer to JoeyGee8688, on the first page of this thread:

Mediterranid , maybe gracile med and perhaps a minor pueblid strain.
