Pre-Slavic =?= Baltid/Neo-Danubian + Berid

[CrinjaNinja]

Traits of Pre-Slavic:
- gracilised version of Baltids due to Cromagnid influence
- Relatively small-headed (like Berids)
- Pale to fair skin
- Short-statured
- Mesorrhine to mildly leptorrhine nose
- Relatively low, wide faces

Honestly, I find that Pre-Slavic seems like an intermediate between Mediterranean Cromagnid (Paleo-Sardinian/Berid) and Baltid/Neo-Danubian.

My mother fits the pre-Slavic type partly (hybridized with some alpine+Borreby) ...its an interesting phenotype that doesn’t get so much attention on here.

Bump for this interesting thread.

its actually the reason why it does not get much attention- the classification can vary depending which traits seem to be more dominant.

• SUDETIAN TYPE ^Reche (Pre-Slavic type ^Czekanowski, Neo Danubian ^Coon, Osteuropid ^Schwidetzky, Baltid ^Biasuitti) According to Günther, a small-framed, small-headed meso- to brachycephal found mainly in the Czech Republic. It is characterized by an "egg-shaped" skull, pronounced parietal bones, a slightly rounded occiput, mesoprosopy, pronounced zygomatic bones, a steep, low forehead, a broad flat nose and a protruding jaw. The Sudetian type is dark-haired and dark-eyed. The exact referent of this category is uncertain, as its supposed feature combination is widely dispersed throughout central and eastern Europe, through the medium of several discrete racial types. Cf. Volgid.

• BERID (Paleo-Sardinian ^Cipriani, Coarse Mediterranid ^Fischer, Berberid/Berid ^Lundman)
  Low-skulled, pyknomorphic and somewhat reduced Mediterranid-Cro-Magnoid intermediate type.

Slavic itself came from a mixture of Aryans and local inhabitants (indigenous CMs aka proto-Baltids as well as ENF descendants). There is no reason to believe even in their initial form they were lacking Pontid, Dinaric or Alpine. These phenotypes exist everywhere Slavs went, including in areas of central/northern Russia not touched by ENF invasions (so Slavs themselves were a vector of these phenotypes in some areas).
