(...) Setting aside the Caucasian and also the African Jews, we find that the cephalic index of nearly all European Jews is between 81.5 and 83.0, showing only a limited variability, which may be attributed to the usual discrepancies between the different series of measurements of a single and homogeneous race. Another remarkable fact is the striking absence of dolichocephaly, varying from one percent in Blechman's to 7.3 in Glück's series; and at the same time there seems to be a marked preponderance of the brachycephalic type - the results of all observers show that over 60 percent of the individuals measured had a C.I. of over 80. This is about as far as we can go while attempting to study the head-form of the Jews from the accumulated anthropological literature of today. (...)
And this is how Henryk Szpidbaum classified phenotypes of Polish Jews in 1933:
Phenotype - % of Jewish population
Western Asiatic (Armenoid*) - 34.99%
Oriental - 8.32%
Mediterranean - 9.16%
Alpine - 9.99%
Dinaric - 8.33%
Nordic - 5.82%
East Baltid - 4.16%
Light Armenoid - 6.66%
Broad-faced Armenoid - 6.66%
Light Dinaric - 2.5%
Broad-faced Dinaric - 3.33%
others - fractions of a percent
