http://www.humanphenotypes.com/IranianNordoid.htmlDescription:
Dolicho-mesocephalic, long-faced, high-headed depigmented type prevalent in West Asia. Pigmentation approaches Northern European standards. The hair varies from blonde to light brown, the eyes are usually blue or green. Morhologically they share features of Iranids as well as Pontids and East Nordids. Iranian Nordoids are probably a relict of an ancient Nordoid-Iranid/Indid contact type that developed by migrations during the bronze age. Associated with the ancient Sythican/Sarmata civilisations. Found in Kurds (Hakkari, Fayli), West Iranians and some of the surrounding regions.
