1. BERID
Description:
Low-skulled, pyknomorphic and somewhat reduced Mediterranid-Cro-Magnoid intermediate type. Went through some process of alpinization, but still contains a lot of cromagnid features. Related to other cromagnid types such as Paleo Atlantid in the North and Berberid in the South.
Body:
Short to Medium height, Endomorph to Mesomorph
Status:
Core region in the mountainous regions of the Southern Iberian Peninsular and South Italy, especially Sardinia. Nowadays also found in North and South America, although much less frequent than Gracil Mediterranid and other adjacient types.
2. BASKID
Description:
Ancient, dinariform, mostly Atlanto-Mediterranid type associated with the Basques. It is the most western extension of dinariform types and contains some crogmagnid elements, too. Pigmentation and hair color variable from black to red and blond hair.
Body:
Medium height to tall, Mesomorph
Status:
The Baskid type is restricted to Northern Spain and South West France. It is rare outside of this region. One of the most seldom European phenotypes.
3. GRACILE MEDITERRANID (Synonyms: Ibero-Insular, Mediterranid, Small Mediterranean, West-Mediterranean)
Description:
The "typical Mediterranids" or "Mediterranids proper" of the northern Mediterranean coast and adjacent territories. They are characterized by a medium to short, gracile skeleton, mesomorphy and a small skull. Gracile-Mediterranids are relatively dark compared to Europeans in general.
Body:
Short to Medium height, Ektomorph
Status:
The Gracil Mediterranid type is an important population element in the Iberian peninsula and in South Italy, along the western European coast. Nowadays it can also be found in North and South America and other parts of the world in multitudinous blends. This type is frequent and its population is stable.
4. ATLANTO-MEDITERRANID
Description:
Straight-nosed and strongly dolichocephalic Mediterranid type, the living equivalent of the skeletal Megalithic type. Blend between Atlantid and Gracil Mediterranid. It is markedly taller and more robust than the Gracilmediterranid type, by which it is outnumbered and often mixed.
Body:
Medium height to tall, Ektomorph
Status:
The Atlanto Mediterranid type is an important population element in the Northern Iberian peninsula, in Italy, and northward along the western European coast. Nowadays it can also be found in North and South America and other parts of the world. This type is frequent and its population is stable.
5. ATLANTID (Synonyms: Nordo-Mediterranid)
Description:
A blend between North Atlantid and Atlantomediterranid, typically of dark pigmentation. Found throughout western Europe, particularly along the coast of France. Often in blends with Alpinid, Dinarid, Baskid and other adjacient types. A common type in the French.
Body:
Medium height, Ektomorph
Status:
Traditionally found across regions of Atlantic coast, common for France. Nowadays it can also be found in North America and Australia.
6. NORTH ATLANTID (Synonyms: Northwestern)
v
Description:
Predominantly Nordid (Keltic Nordid) blend with Atlantid. Associated with megalithic (Celtic) monuments and long barrow burial sites. North Atlantids are typically dark-haired and light-eyed, and constitute an important element in the British Isles, and particularly in Wales. Sometimes found in Scandinavia, West Germany and France.
Body:
Medium height to Tall, Ektomorph
Status:
Traditionally found across regions of Northwestern Europe. Nowadays it can also be found in North America and Australia.
7. PALEO-ATLANTID (Synonyms Tydal, Cromagnid)
Description:
Cromagnid aboriginal of Western Europe with a dark
Paris airport private transfer pigmentation for Northwestern European standards. Related to Dalofaelids, Brünns and Berids. Resembles the Paleolithic Cro Magnons. In Norway represented by the Tydal type. Robust, short-legged and long-armed, and dolichocephalic.
Body:
Tall, Mesomorph
Status:
Small isolated populations of this type have been living in Norway, Wales and Scotland for millennia. Nowadays the type is dispersed all around Western Europe as a result of increased mobility. Nowhere found in any significant concentration. Paleo Atlantid elements exist in Germany and France, too.
