I didn't claim to have the answer really, you need to stop pretending like I did, lol.
First of all you can just visually notice the difference between the pure WHG and the hallstatt skulls by their bizygomatic width. I also know that both meds and nordics tend to have a slender build with a short upper body and long legs. Alpines and borrebies for example have stockier builds (can't confirm, but quite sure). If meds and nordics have nothing to do with each other, how do you explain the similarity? Not only in their skull shape (which matters a ton BTW!), but also in the size of their skulls, in their similar nasal shape etc. Is this all random??? IDK where nordics came from, but they look veeeery similar to meds even if you want to boil it down to a coincidence..... Coon used pigmentation, IDK what you mean. That's how he mainly differentiated nordics and meds (BTW not all nordics are tall and not all meds are short).
If pigmentation is more significant than skull shape, is this Norwegian Syrian?
Sure he is atypical, but he has the same genetics as all other Norwegians most likely, might differentiate somewhat. Where does his look come from?? Does this "brown" man have nothing to do with nordics or CMs? Do Assad and his wife have anything to do with nordics/ CMs because they have a pigmentation similar to many Europeans, or are they more like the average brown Syrian? Pigmentation is not as significant as you make it out to be. Just because he's brown, doesn't take away from the fact that looks-wise, he's very similar to nordics. I also don't see what's wrong with that Corsican's eyes???
He has the same eye shape as many nordics.... I even found you a Swedish trønder with big exposed eyes....
You also fail to mention that genetic differences among Europeans is not as large as you make them out to be. The Lebanese and the Southern French are meds, but it's impossible that nordics are de-pigmented meds due to genetic differences??? Meds span over a lot of peoples and differences between meds are found obv. Nordics according to Coon was pretty much that. A de-pigmented med that looked somewhat different. Adaptation might have caused slight differences in eye shape, nose shape etc. Europeans have mixed origins so it wouldn't make sense that people with different genetic averages can portray similar phenotype. Why don't you question how a Norwegian and a sicilian can be alpine??? Or even how can Syrians (Assad and his wife) have similar phenotypes with Balkanites considering the genetic differences???
