I think the category was invented to account for not-so-doliocephalic cranial series and really Dinarid-Norid-Med type features in Hallstatt and call it "Nordic" to suit peoples 19th century beliefs.
My Irish grandmother used to say the Med looking Irish strain was actually Hebrew. Maybe she was right, not about the Spanish Armada but about something that happened much earlier on the Continent.
As Joyce said, fishygods gaggin ostrygods. Israeliten gegen Phoeniker. Or sumfin like dat.
