Too many people think Atlantid, North Pontid, Sub-Nordid are the intermediaries, while they peak in yes intermediary, but not halfway intermediary populations, closer to 75-85% northern genetically. Atlanto-Med is probably overrated in Sardinia, although I could be wrong, and S. Italy is more southern genetically anyway. You can find them in Sardinia because you can find every phenotype everywhere(for the most part), albeit at low rates.
Either way, you said Borrebies can be both brachy and not brachy before, so I see no reason why the same thing can't be said for Faelids, if he is brachy then adding +Alpine works for me, but the Med definitely has to stay imo. The consensus isn't purely CM(aka Scandinavian or Balto-Slavic looking) or a more central type like Alpine+CM, lots of people have said south Euro or atleast somewhat Italian looking so I think there's atleast an argument, but I would concede I'm wrong with the Med if the vast majority didn't see it(unlike some people lol, I think we both know who I'm talking about).
