Difference between Mediterranid and Near Eastern anthropological

[Eugene]

What is the difference between Mediterranid (which is mostly upplied to Southern Europeans) and Near Eastern anthropological types?

[ChocolateFace]

Most near Eastern types fall into the Med category.

[Swearengen]

Levantines are brachycephalic as opposed to meso/dolicho, have larger eyes, sometimes have prognathism, are even hairier, darker, and often have larger noses and more prominent brow ridges.

That's a wrong statement. Completely wrong.

On topic: Mediterranid types exist in Southern Europe(rather Gracile Mediterranid) & Iberia(rather Atlanto-Mediterranids), southern Parts of Centraleurope, the British Islands, Eastern Europe(Pontid), the Levante (Levantine Pontid and Irano-Mediterranids primarely) and Northafrica (rather South-Mediterranid).

not true at all.

[Sikeliot]

Some Middle Easterners are similar to Southern Europeans. Others have types that do not appear often in southern Europe like Arabid, Iranid, etc. and stand out much more.

iranid type not common among levantines...

[Smeagol]

European Meds are Atlanto-Med, Gracile-Med, and Pontid, there are also some East Meds, in south Italy, and Greece. Levantines are mostly East Med, and North Africans are South Med/Berberid.

Don't such Iranid types exist in Syria?




This is an Irano-Mediterranid by the way:
