I know hat neotheny is caused by a sedentary way of life and by other factors too( maybe the a cold climate can also be a factor).
Examplles of neothenic peoples are alpines, baltids and most of the Japanese people.

But what about gracilization?

Why gracile types like gracile-med, nordid, nordsinid and nordindid does exists?

Aren't Nordids too tall to be "gracile/gracilized"?

None of those types exist, gracile med is just a term they give slight SSA admixed people on anthro forums, usually portugalians, to not tell them they are straight nonwhite admixed.
And tallness has nothing to do with gracile, because most people today grow taller only vertically, but have same small bones , like the dutch who are artificially tall.

So do you agree that gracilization happens just because primitive traits are becaming less and less necessary nowadays
