what is the difference between a pure med and an atlanto med?

[Rium]

Is there such a thing as a pure Mediterranean phenotype?

Mediterranean is the gracile archetype. Atlantids are robust Meds due to mixes with CM types.

• ATLANTO-MEDITERRANID (Littoral European ^Deniker, Eurafricanid ^Haddon, Atlantid ^Škerlj, Atlanto Mediterranid ^Cole)
  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.

mediterranid is not a phenotype — it is a category of many phenotypes.
