Pontid or Atlanto-Med, which is more common in Greece?

[IamDiscord]

there is no contuinuity in "Pontids" i dont think Ukraine Pontids and Greek ones look alike on average. Also a lot of classifications are ethnicity based. You could say "eastern" vs "western" lookign Meds- but i ve seen enough some Westerners getting classified as Pontid because of strange eyes or softer "slavic" faces.

I suppose you're right.

[IamDiscord]

I agree, plus i would add that Greek pontids are not more "south" but more "southwest" looking than, say, ukrainian or Bulgarian Pontid.

What ya mean saying "more south-west looking"?

Pontid, obviously. Greece is far from Europe’s Atlantic regions! Greece is in the eastern Mediterranean seaboard.

Which means technically nothing (the last sentence).



Greece has similar atlantomed percentage with many atlantic regions

Less slavic looking, more southwest influence

According to Coon, Greeks are more Atlanto-Med.

The accuracy of his conclusions for the Greeks is a matter of debate. How could Greeks, who border with the Pontid type, be Atlanto-Med who are on the other side of Europe?

Tough to tell as there's no clean cut distinction between the two.

Pontid or Atlanto-Med, which is more common in Greece?

Obviously by far the Pontid.

[Voskos]

Atlantomed proper doesn't even exist in Greece. It's always combined to some other Baltic, Caucasian or Danubian type.

[catgeorge]

Not atypical in Greece but this the type of Atlanto Meds one will encounter.

[Dimitri159]

Pontid technically IS Atlanto-Med.. Some anthropologists just gave the Atlanto-Meds of Eastern Europe a different name, i.e. “Pontid”.

Anthropologically speaking, there are only three primary Mediterranean types; Gracile-Med, Atlanto-Med and Orientalid..
