There is more to race than just pigmentation

[Drenica]

A person with a different pigmentation from the norm doesnt turn into a different race. Classifications like North Pontid , Atlantid are just pseudo science and probably even Nordid and just lighter meds... Carleton Coon never used such terms, atleast not pontid, north pontid or atlantid, not that Im familar with. In southern Europe and Northern Caucasus a lot of the Med race, if not most of it, he referes to as Atlanto Med, including the Balkans, this didnt change because of pigmentation.. there were Meds found to have light eyes and even blonde hair... Nordics are apparently depigmented Meds.. people from the horn of Afrika were included as part of the Medditarrenean race by many anthropolgists.


Racial classifications, unless kept simple, becomes pseudoscience and circle jerking.



Cool story.

I can agree that a bunch of phenotypes recognized by TA are , but pigmentation also matters, and the best proof for that is the Nordic race, which can be metrically identical to Mediterrenean.
