Vote: Gracile-Meds or Atlanto-Meds ?

If you mean that his jaw is more robust/square that the 2nd guy, that is a exactly an Atlanto-Med trait and not Nordid.

Another thing I don't get is why the woman gets Gracile Med and the guys don't, when in the pic they are 3 togheter we can see that her head is not smaller than the guy next to her (and bear in mind she's a woman).

At least Coon was streamlining things and not trying too hard to fit every mix into a supposedly stabilized sub-race, a practice that gave birth to crap like sub-nordid and Atlantid. Anyway, the second guy here has more of a tendency to mesocephaly and a wider bizygomatic - more compact face. If you posted him without the question, most here would classify him as Atlantid though, just because he's more good looking, lel.

First two are atlanto-meds.

The woman looks more alpine-med than gracile-med to me though.

I think all three are atlanto med but one is north atlantid - atlanto med . 2 and 3 are very extreme textbook atlanto meds . It’s hard to find a textbook gracile med . But when/if I find a example that may fit the type I’ll post it lol

Carloto Cotta: Atlanto Mediterranid + Paleo Atlantid.
Filipe Vargas: Atlanto Mediterranid.
Anabela Moreira: Gracile Mediterranid.

Not really, nordids are more robust than atlanto-meds, when atlanto-meds are somewhat robust, it tend to be because of mix.
The first guy also seens too light( the pigmemtation of his hair, of his eyes and of his lips all combined give a nordid vibe), his jaw and nose also may indicate nordid influence.
And she gets gracile-med because her facial traits are gracile, maybe she is gracile-med+atlanto-med

Wrong.

[Joso]

Wrong.

Why?

[nightrider+]

Why?

Because there's no significant difference between the two in head size.

Thanks for the input, two things I have to comment:
1. North Atlantids must have light eyes (typically blue) + dark hair and very pale or pinkish skin, they look like dar haired nordids.
2. I believe that most people just classify someone as Gracile-Med when it is almost a textbook example, but infact the Gracile-Med population is rather large.

No, Atlanto-Meds have typically a stronger CM component than Nordids.

Why?

Because there's no significant difference between the two in head size.

Exactly, their skulls are very similar.

I'll start my comment from the woman:
- Decidedly not a Gracile Med. Almost as tall as guy in the middle and rather large-headed. Her head doesn't even look smaller than those of the males discussed. No measurements provided but I believe difference would be very small if cranium analysis of all of them is done.
Furthermore, no infantile features in her. On the contrary, what we have here is a pronounced browridge (especially visible in profile view), well-expressed gonial angles and bizygomatic breadth which not only excludes her from Gracile Med category but also shows that, apart from the Atlanto-Mediterranean strain, there is a CM one, too:


Filipe Vargas:
Textbook Atlanto-Mediterranean, in my opinion (without any CM influence). One can see he is long-faced (as is the case with Atlanto-Meds) and has decent proportions. Gracile Mediterranids are, on the other hand, not actually long- but often simply narrow-faced. They have small dimensions (both skull and height) and extremely prominent back of head. Joseph Goebbels matched all of these criteria, including short height (165 cm.):

Just look at how short he was even in comparison to a man of average height like Adolf Hitler:



And he had large protruding eyes:



Now moving to Carloto Cotta:
- I don't understand the Atlantid rates he gets as there is no visible Nordic admixture in him (might be people getting impressions from some rating every brown-haired/light-skinned guy that ain't round-faced as Atlantid). However, that's not the case. He, while not textbook, is the most (and actually only, imo) classic Mediterranid influenced person here. Eyes are particularly Gracile Med in shape and nose is rather short but very narrow, as typical. On the other hand, Cotta has a browridge and his chin and bizygomatic are not of Gracile Mediterranid type. His back of head isn't that prominent, too. I see Atlanto-Med and Alpine influences, apart from the Gracile Mediterranean element:
