The Dutch anthropologist Ariëns Kappers in his study
"Kappers A. - Contributions to the Anthropology of the Near-East II" provides data from cephalic index measurements of Lebanese residents and the region near Syria. The cephalic index is very large, close to 85, which means that the Armenoids are majority in Lebanon.
In Lebanon is found the Armenoid, the Arabid, the Eastern Mediterranean type and there also are some Asiatic-Alpines.

Anthropology. - Contributions to the Anthropology of the Near~East. 11.
The spread of brachycephalic races. By C. U. ARIËNS KAPPERS.
With regard to the "Armenoid" character of several groups of the Near~East population. first emphasized by VON LUSCHAN I) and confirmed by SELIGMAN 2). DUDLEY BUXTON 3) and others.
The 1. w. i. in the real Lebanese appears to be very much the same as in the Armenians. And if 1 abstract from my 136 Armenians also the (only 10) Armenians in which the index was lower than 81. we see that the "real" Lebanese and the "real" Armenians also resemble each other in so far as in both the female 1. w. index is slightly lower.

"In the racial anthropology of the early 20th century, the Armenoid type is a subtype of the Caucasian race. According to anthropologist Carleton Coon, the countries of the northern part of Western Asia, namely Anatolia/Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Iran, Upper Mesopotamia and the Levant, were considered the center of distribution of the Armenoid race."
You say.
Being same skeletally with someone does mean you have to look exactly like him.
These Armenians.
And these Lebanese.
Are same race to me.
