The Atlantids

[Damião de Góis]

Atlanto-Meds?

I'm not sure, here's where I get confused. For most I think of are either from the above two groups, or is most likely close to mediterranean. So what now for Atlanto-meds? Where are they? Who are they?

They look like this, at least around Lisbon

Those are Atlantics or strictly Atlanto-Meds, Alex? They are abundant in the UK then as well. The second one is quite like an Irish variant.

Does kelly MacDonald look Atlantic of some sort?

Those are Atlantics or strictly Atlanto-Meds, Alex?

I have no idea to be honest. I imagine they would be classified as "atlanto something".

Isn't Kelly MacDonald a red head? I think that would rule her out as being "atlantid".

[Trog]

No, she's naturally brunette.



Have you still to see 'Trainspotting'? She goes full frontal in that and leaves the viewer in little doubt...

Another couple of 'Atlantics', but I give up on what their strict criteria. Seems its just a way of describing a similar look shared with people on the western edges of Europe and somehow brings us back to dark Brits (basically).

She was the teenager girl from Trainspotting then? I didn't recognize her but i remember the movie well.

As for the "atlantos" i'm still skeptical about how big that overlap is. For example, i think this girl has more overlap with Italy than with the France or Britain.

[Trog]

I guess, but she strikes me as being more 'Med' than anything and looks from the Balkans.

The reason the Paleo-Atlantids look so Mediterranid is because a strong Mediterranid strain introduced itself to Paleo-Atlantids during the Late Mesolithic period. A similar strain effected the Borreby sub-type to a lesser degree though. Borrebys also were surrounded by more de-pigmented group of sub-types. Paleo-Atlantids retained their more primitive traits due to the fact that they lived in relative isolation.


Atlanto-Mediterranids are relatively rare in the British Isles although they are probably the direct result of a Neolithic strain that came into the British Isles after the Mediterranid invasion during the Mesolithic periods. Atlanto-Dinarids are common throughout the British Isles and they are not to be confused with North-Atlantids or Keltic-Nordics although they may appear like a combination between the two.


Another interesting thing to touch on is there is a group of phenotypes referred to as Nordo-Mediterranid Atlantid and it can be found throughout France and the British Isles. It seems to be most common in Wales, Ireland, and Scotland near the North Atlantid populations which reside near the coast. I would like to show everyone to a page where there is a gallery of Irish Nordo-Mediterranids but I can not seem to find it.

Paleo-Atlantid

Paleo-Atlantid

Rudolf Hess was more of a Faelid with Mediterranid input which sort of gives you a good reason to call him a Paleo-Atlantid because that is basically what a Paleo-Atlantid is.

The proverbial box head. I don't get his apparent 'med' features, he looks far too robust.
