Yeah but HPT also says that Lundman later united the Tydal type "with Irish types and Canarid in Paleo Atlantid (Lundman, 1951, 1988)" and that Paleo-Atlantid is "very similar to Coon's (1939) Brünn" (http://humanphenotypes.net/PaleoAtlantid.html). Canarid of course sometimes has light-colored hair.
In Lundman's book "Jordens folkstammar" (1969), he wrote that the Paleo-Atlantid type was "partially lighter" ("delvis ljusare") (https://books.google.com/books?redir...volume&q=paleo):
Lundman 1951 ("Dunkelgemischte cromagnide Typen aus Dalarne, Schweden") wrote that Paleo-Atlantids have intermediate pigmentation (https://www.jstor.org/stable/25753154?seq=5):
Dagegen ist die Ähnlichkeit zwischen „Tydalern“ und nordafrikanischen Cromagniden (so schön von Fischer und seinen Schülern abgebildet) offenbar außerordentlich groß, und schon in meinem Aufsatz in der „Ethnos“ 1949 führte ich sie (mit einigen anderen westeuropäischen Rassensplittern) zu einer paläatlantischen Rasse zusammen. Auch die jetzige intermediäre Pigmentierung dieser Rasse betrachtete ich dort wie auch hier als alt, was vom modernen vererbungswissenschaftlichen Standpunkt aus ja gar nicht schwierig zu denken ist.
Translation:
On the other hand, the resemblance between "Tydalers" and North African Cromagnids (so beautifully depicted by Fischer and his pupils) is evidently extraordinarily great, and I already included them in my essay in "Ethnos" in 1949 (with some other Western European racial subgroups). I also considered the current intermediate pigmentation of this breed to be old, both there and here, which is not difficult to think from a modern hereditary point of view.
