Extra-European caucasoid subraces ?

[EvilDave]

Can you say me , what are all extra-european caucasoid races and their distribution in the world ?
Can you post also some representative photos for each of them ?

[Agrippa]

Basically there are extra-European Caucasoids/Europids which are present in Europe too, essentially all European types, but particuarly:
- Mediterranid (East- and South Mediterranid, Saharid)
- Alpinoid (East- and Asian Alpinoid)

Then there are:
- Berberid (North African Cromagnid)
- Orientalid:
1. Iranid
2. Arabid
- Armenoid:
1. Anadolid
2. Kaukasid
3. Armenid (progressive and reduced subtype)
- Indid:
1. North Indid
2. Gracilindid
3. Indobrachid
4. Indomelanid (= transitional type to Weddoid)
- Turanid:
1. Pamirid
2. Aralid (Eurasian-mixed Tungid-Europid)
- Aethiopid (transitional race to Negroid, various subtypes)

Pictures and maps being posted in various threads already, search the terms.

Arabids are interesting Caucasoid race, as they are very distinct and should not be put in the same category as the Iranid. The Arabid is also small dark Caucasoid race well the Iranid is much taller and lighter. The latter is genetically closer to Europeans, well the first is more distant to Europeans.

Is Indid a mixed race (Australoid + Europoid) or "pure" Europoid subrace ?

Arabids are interesting Caucasoid race, as they are very distinct and should not be put in the same category as the Iranid. The Arabid is also small dark Caucasoid race well the Iranid is much taller and lighter. The latter is genetically closer to Europeans, well the first is more distant to Europeans.

Yes, some subtypes of the Eickstedt' system are rather types on their own, whereas others are very close.

F.e. Mediterranid and Alpinoid subtypes are generally very close, while Orientalid and Indid know huge differences in virtually all respects.

Iranid is clearly distinct from Arabid, yet not as extreme as some might think, if considering mainly the pure Arabid types are representative for the latter.

Racially they are pure Europid, genetically they show traces of mixture/tendencies to the Weddoid race, but even that depends on the region, ethnicity and caste/social category in question.

The true intermediate forms are the Indo-Weddoid transitions and the "dark Indoids", the Indomelanids.

Yet like in the case of Arabids, many misconceptions stem from the fact, that a lot of Gracilindids in particular are mixed with Melanid and Weddoid. Pure Gracilindids show no deviating physical traits from the Europid racial standards.

Actually, from a morphological-proportional point of view, they are more Europid than Eastbaltid and Lappid, which deviate, in comparison, towards Mongoloid.

Pure and progressive Europid North Indid phenotypes, Brahmin upper caste type (oftentimes with Iranid, Mediterranoid and Nordoid tendencies by the way):

Can you post some photos for each Indid subtype (also Indid/Weddoid mixed) ?

It is quite clear if comparing these pictures, that Indids are Europid, and Weddoid is a different race, with varying degrees of Australiform, Europiform and Mongoliform tendencies.
