Looks a little Norid on the one hand, and Borreby on the other - but mostly Borreby.

My father was classified as Paleo-Atlantid/Borreby 50/50, with dinaric occiput.
what do you think ?

His nose and eye shape, straight forehead is very Borreby I think, head is narrowed and hair darkened due to Atlantic input.

Borreby is a non phenotype. The 'inventor' Coon himself made it a mess.
The bias starts with the fact that Nordicist only recognize the doliocephalic as real Nordic or Germanic.
False. Many of the were or are brachycephalic. So Coon and others like Ripley before him considered that this 'must' be something pre-Germanic, a kind of left over of archaic times. The Upper paleolithic. All outdated ideas. You can't find a single genetic sample in Europe that is only paleolithic.
During the Bronze Age the Bell Beakers were brachycephalic. The mesolithic HG Ertebølle type wasn't exactly brachycephalic.
Big headed brachycephalic can of course occur in several places (in Europe) without being interconnected. There is no necessary connection between big headed brachycephalics on the Balkan and the North European Plain/ Southern Scandinavia.
Judging from a foto is very tricky....you will have to show metrics.

Borreby predates Nordids, Nordids are a mixture of Scandinavian and Steppe

He looks Alpinid

Yeah Benny looks Alpinid influenced too. He is not a quintessential Borreby for me.

I'll run a classification thread on my German grandpa soon. I think he is a better example of Borreby, the only point where he really misses is that his pigmentation was dark.

I may be wrong I was just going off that gif and from memory
