I want to say Atlantid but i'm not sure

[Ibericus]

Keltid-Nordid

[GeistFaust]

Atlantid + Aplinoid influences and Cro Magnon tendencies.

And some Dinaroid traits aswell? For the rest, I agree.:)

Forehead area, nose area, and occiput do look Dinarid influences he seems to be a combination of many different and various pheontypes despite the homogenous nature of his ethnic background.

As well:cool:

Summing up... Atlantid (which is roughly a Mediterranid+Nordid mix) + some Dinaridoid components, isn't this the "Keltic Nordid" description, basically? That's what I'd say as being predominant in him.

[GeistFaust]

We could just call him a Keltic Atlantid and deem it a new sub race found in parts of Portugal, Spain, and Southern France because he does have a broad enough skull or long enough to be Keltic Nordic proper. It looks like his Dinarid component plays a stronger role than any Nordic part so he is more Atlanto-Dinarid with Cro Magnon influences and Aplinoid tendencies. I think he lacks certain broader and heavier cranial facial components that a true Keltic does not lack.

That's what I was a bit unsure about. I tend to agree mostly with this you said.

[GeistFaust]

I think a strong Dinarid component in addition with a dolichocephalic component(Atlantid) can definitely mislead one into thinking he is a Keltic Nordic.

Well, the term as used by Carleton Coon only applies to the Nordid variants. However, its often hard to distinguish Nordid + Dinarid from Atlantid + Dinarid, hence the confusion.

[alzo zero]

Atlantid-Dinarid.

[Mordid]

Depigmented Arabid.

Atlantid + some CM.

[Sikeliot]

I know this is probably not the correct classification but I will call it as I see it: Keltic Nordid.

[Anthropologique]

He's from southern Minho.

[Sikeliot]

He would fit perfectly in England and Scotland, I think.

[Anthropologique]

BUMP.

[WOOHP]

No he still looks very Portuguese, especially in the last pic.

Atalntid + Baskid.
