What is exactly the Pontid type?

[DarknessWin]

I was classified as "Pontid" by this guy lmao. Other reasonable non delusional posters classified as otherwise. One as Pontid+Turanid.

And i have nothing to do with Western Turkey.

Then you have roots from west turkey , i dont say that Pontids cant found out of these regions but their core population are there.
You can find Pontids even in Poland , but they are not typical

I am better in classification than 90% of clueless fuckers here so DEAL WITH IT BITCH.
I post maps and give proofs so shut the fuck up

Pontid for Greeks is an internet invention, I agree with Columella. Greek Mediterraneans belong to the only existent pure Euro Mediterranean types: Gracile-Med/Classic-Med, Atlanto-Med, Dinaro-Med, Alpine-Med and blends between these.

Wasn't Pontus in North East of Turkey? So why are most of the Pontid phoenotypes said to be Ukrainian, Moldavian etc?

The Pontic Sea is another name for the Black Sea. So this type is named after the Black Sea, not after any region in Turkey.

BTW, classify Ukrainians: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...ese-Ukrainians

Thank you for these interesting answers


So a greek in average is mediterranean and not pontid? And if a greek has light features for a greek, let's say light eyes and chestnut hairs, what category would he fit in? It seems that there is no Nordics or subnordids in Greece, so would he be a simple depigmentised mediterranean? Does a light east mediterranean sub race exist?

Hi,

Wasn't Pontus in North East of Turkey? So why are most of the Pontid phoenotypes said to be Ukrainian, Moldavian etc? Is the Pontid race still alive in Turkey? Or is it because as it is a European forum Turkey isn't mentioned?
Furthermore what is their difference with the Atlantid race? Pontid seem to have juvenile facial features, so wouldn't it be close to a depigmentised alpine-med race?

Coon didn't include Pontic/Pontid in his 10 races but he did mention about Russian Anthropologists who did.

Pontid Doesn't exist. Only actual Med types are Gracile-Med and Atlanto-Med. Most people classified as Pontid would be considered Atlanto-Med by Coon.

Agreed.

By Coon but other Anthropologists classify the east version as Pontid

Yes, but as I said in the other thread I believe that's just overly complicating things.

Gracile Med and AtlandoMed dont exist in Greece but only in Iberia ,
the east version of AtlantoMed is Pontid so the Med type in Greece is Pontid

DinaroMed and AlpineMed in Greece are DinaroPontid and AlpinePontid mixes

AtlantoMed = Pontid , its the same just the name is different.
Pontid is actually the east version , Taller and not Doli as Atlantomed
