Are all Europeans REALLY a mixture of Alpine, Nordic, Mediterranean, and Dinaric?

Even if we leave beside the aspect that there are more subraces:Originally Posted by Boudin
No. I'm convinced that this is an error of thought.
If we consider that there were "race-shaping" processes going on for certain traits in a particular area, then the same processes will have taken place nearby that area, but to a smaller degree. At some time a selection process ended and another, with another selection direction, started. So the traits of people are the result of a number of interrupted and directionally changed selection processes. This makes clear that if there were ever pure subraces in a certain area there will have been intermediate forms in between these areas. Maybe those intermediate areas with various clines were even bigger than the possible areas with pure subraces. However, an intermediate form is historically not a mixture, but is as old as the pure races or even older and thus more original.
The same applies to dogs f. i. The "mixed" street dogs will in fact regularly not be a mixture of pure breed dogs but hail from the broad stream of "doghood" that was never bred to any particular pure dog race.
Of course, you also historically do have mixtures of human subraces. But from logics there must also always have been intermediate forms, likely in big numbers and it's essentially impossible to distinguish an originally intermediate form from an old (non-recent) mixture.
So if we deal with combinations of subraces we will have to consider someone as if he would be a mixture, leaving open if he historically really is.

Perhaps. According to the Nazi regime which so obsessed with races and racialism. The German population racial makeup is as the following :
Nordic (55%), Alpine (20%), Dinaric (15%), East Baltic (8%), Mediterranean (2%)
