The Pontid phenotype and ancient Greece connection

[kleenex]

I've read and observed on this site that most Greeks are classified as Alpine Med, Atlanto Med, Pontid and Dinarid. Not sure the difference between Pontid and Atlanto Med. Coon suggested that Greeks are predominantly Atlanto Med and Alpine Med.

Pontids in Statues :

[Bosniensis]

Pontids except maybe 8th picture which could be dinarid-pontid mix.

Pontid phenotype in almost 95% of the Greeks or even more.

Even in AlpineMed classification in reallity is Alpine-Pontid
In Dinaromed classification is also Dinarid-Pontid

And this because the only Med type in Greece is the Pontid med.
Atlantomed and Gracile med are West Med types while Pontid is the east med type

Orientalids are not part of Mediteranean race

Yes , all statues are Pontids and DinaroPontids . Also exist few Alpine-Pontids , 100% Alpines and few Alpine-Pontid-Dinarid mixes

But actually is these 3 phenotypes that can be found mixed or alone

What frustrates me is when people call an Italian or Iberian "Atlanto-Med' but if the person was Greek they become "Pontid". Is there any difference between the two types? hardly, in my view.

I thought "Pontid" was just another name for a Balkan/Eastern version of Atlanto-Med.

Pontid is more hypsicephalic, mesocephalic and have far spaced placed eyes and taller

actually are almost the same

[Tauromachos]

Is this Greek Dinarid? or some mix?

He is from Macedonia (by ancestry)

Dinaric phenotypes in Greece are mostly Alpine-Dinaric"particular common in Epiros" and Dinaro-Meds
"more in South Greece,Islands and Cyprus".

Pure Dinarid types are rare.

The type you have posted might likely resemble an Alpine Dinaric such as which is common in Epiros.

Very rare actually ,and most of them have a part Pontid mix
