Lawrence Angel was part of a later (post Coon) generation of physical anthropologists which disregarded pigmentation entirely and looked only at morphological traits. He writes "There is no reason to suppose that the Nordic type in Greece was as blond as are Nordics in northern latitudes.” W.W Howells - a Harvard anthropologist from the same generation - also writes: "Not all ‘Nordics’ are blond, and not all blonds are ‘Nordic,’ by any means.” The man looks perfectly Corded in morphology, despite the dark pigmentation.
Coon himself cautions:
There is one cautionary remark which must be made here, and that is: there is so far no justifiable reason for assuming that the Corded people were Nordics. Their cranial type, as we know it, does approach one ore more of the forms which we know, in later times, to have been associated with blondism; but it also approaches those of the Iranian plateau and of Ur, which were probably brunet. Let us withhold judgment, therefore, upon Corded soft parts and pigmentation, and view these remains in the more scientific but less lively light of a skeletal type.
