Are "Nordics" a blend of Dinaric and Norid?

**kevinmac** · 06-15-2018, 04:21 AM

I read somewhere that Nordics are a blend of Dinaric and Norid. When I look at "Nordic" countries I don't see any Dinarid influence in the people especially in the Scandanavian countries so I am guessing thats wrong? Or is Noric and Nordic the same thing? I'm confused. Anyone care to enlighten?

No, Nordid is practically depigmented Mediterranid

You have it backwards. Norid is a blend of Nordic and Dinarid.

No it isn't. That was Carleton Coon's pet theory in the 1930s but it has since been demolished.

That theory doesn't make much sense, as Dinarids/Norids are morphologically very different from Nordids (from a European perspective), they are brachy for example while Nordids are meso/doli.
