Atlantid Vs. Atlanto Med

[Hess]

Is there any particular difference between the two terms, or can they be used interchangeably? Different forums give different answers, So I decided to start a thread to just to be absolutely clear on this issue.

Atlanto Med is a Gracile Med with Atlantid influence I believe

[exceeder]

Basically what cg93 said. From my understanding (I could be VERY wrong, so if I make any mistakes, please correct me) atlantomed is basically a meditteranid with atlantid influences and features.

Now if I understand correctly Atlantid is more or less a north-south continuum... in the sense that you can have say an atlantid/atlantomed classification which basically implies you are somewhere between the two/along the path between atlantid and atlantomed (eg a med with atlantid influences). I don't know if that made sense. I think Agrippa can explain it best and with the least amount of error.

Atlanto-Med has Mediterranid features but a larger head and is taller. But the facial traits are still basically the same as gracile Mediterranid.

Atlantid, on the other hand, has a mix of Nordid and Mediterranid features. Atlantid is not a stabilized type, but a term used to describe any unstabilized mix between robust Mediterranid, and Nordid, where its hard to determine which predominates.

Atlanto- Mediterranid is darker version of Atlantid. Both are intermediate between Mediterranid and Nordid.

ATLANTID (Nordo-Mediterranid)

1) With reference to partially depigmented northern Mediterranids, as in von Eickstedt's 1935 publication "Die Mediterranen in Wales";
2) A generic designation, of more recent popular reference, for the entire range of Nordid-Atlanto-Mediterranid/Mediterranid blends, typically of dark pigmentation, which may be found throughout western Europe, particularly along the coast. Cf. North-Atlantid.

ATLANTO-MEDITERRANID (Littoral European (Deniker))

Tall, straight-nosed and strongly dolichocephalic Mediterranid type, the living equivalent of the skeletal Megalithic type (in the typology of Coon). It is markedly taller and more robust than the Gracile-Mediterranean type, by which it is outnumbered, and with which it is often mixed. The Atlanto-Mediterranid type is an important population element in the Iberian peninsula (prevailing in Catalonia and Valencia), in Italy, and northward along the western European coast, reaching the British Isles in mixed form (cf. North-Atlantid). Coon subsumed all tall-statured Mediterranids (including Pontid) in the Atlanto-Mediterranid category.

I think of it this way: Atlantid is intermediate between Mediterranid and Nordid. Atlanto- Mediterranid is intermediate between Mediterranid and Atlantid.

I think of it this way: Atlantid is intermediate between Mediterranid and Nordid. Atlanto- Mediterranid is intermediate between Mediterranid and Atlantid.

I see. So that would mean that the Atlanto med possesses a few nordid qualities, less than the Atlantid but more than the mediterraenid.
Correct?

I think so.
