|image_male=northatlantidm.jpg
| name = North Atlantid
| group = Mediterranid , Nordid
| description = Western European type that combines features of Nordid and Mediterranid in a unique way. This type is equivalent to Carleton S. Coon's blue eyed Atlanto-Mediterranean, Hooton’s Keltic and Nordic-Mediterranean types, and the Northwestern type of Deniker and many other anthropologists. Resembles British Iron Age Celts. It is the principal element in Ireland and parts of Britain, especially Western Scotland and Wales. Common in Northwestern France, sometimes Belgium, Switzerland, Liguria, Western Germany, and Norway. Sporadically from Portugal and Galicia to Austria and Sweden. Not to be confused with British Eurafricanids altered by Nordid admixture.
| traits = Pale, sometimes ruddy or freckled skin. Brown, sometimes black or reddish hair with light, often blue eyes. Rather tall, mesoskelic, sometimes brachyskelic, ectomorph, slightly mesomorph with relatively long arms. Mesocephalic, chamae- orthocranic. Prominent, hyperleptorrhine, long-tipped nose that may be convex or concave. Forehead is narrow and sloping, mandible small, malars compressed.

|image_male=dinaridm.jpg
|image_female=dinaridf.jpg
| name = Dinarid
| group = Dinaroid
| description = Central European type typical for mountain and forest regions. Presents the counterpart of Alpinids. The name derives from the Dinaric Alps in former Yugoslavia, where the type is commonly found among Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Bosniaks, and their relatives. Also typical for the Eastern Alps (esp. Tyrol), Carpathians, South Germany, Austria, Albania, West Ukraine. Extends to France, Western Greece, Bulgarian mountains, Italy, and other regions of Europe.
| traits = Light brown skin. Wavy, sometimes straight, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Tall, meso- sometimes brachyskelic, mesomorph with short arms. (Hyper-)brachycephalic, hypsicranic with a flat occiput. The nose is prominent, long, convex and hyperleptorrhine. Face long with bony and coarse features. Chin strong, but round, lips rather thin, hair abundant. Forehead broad, sloping, and high.

Mongol: /* Dinaroid */

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

| name = Pre Nilotid
| group = Nilotid
| description = Ancient type with Proto Nilotid traits, today still found in the border region of Sudan and Ethiopia. Common in Kwama, Uduk, Gumuz, Mao, and related people. More mixed in Berta and other Nilotics. A link to early Ethiopids is possible. Many of these tribes have suffered war and displacement and are now dispersed all over the world.
| traits = Black skin and kinky, sometimes tight-curly hair. Medium height, brachyskelic, but with a longer torso than Nilotids proper, ectomorph to mesomorph. Mesocephalic with a very wide, flat face, and a great interorbital distance. Mildly platyrrhine nose. The nasal root is depressed and wide, the forehead steep, the chin marked. Prognathy is moderate.

Mongol: /* Nordic-Mediterraneans */

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

Mongol: /* Nordic-Mediterraneans */

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

Mongol: /* Nordic-Mediterraneans */

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

Mongol: /* Nordic-Mediterraneans */

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

Mongol: /* Nordic-Mediterraneans */

The number of human phenotypes in the world is a matter of debate among authors and researchers. However, this page aims to provide a comprehensive list of types that have been recognized by this community and deemed worthy of a page on this wiki for ease of navigation. The types are categorized according to the groups they belong to, rather than their geographical location, as the boundaries of phenotype distribution can be ambiguous and span several regions.

It is important to note that some pages have not yet been created (these are marked in red), but are generally accepted as phenotypes or sub-phenotypes. Additionally, some phenotypes may appear in multiple groups as they can belong to more than one category.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive and may change as new information becomes available and more articles are created. However, it provides a starting point for those interested in learning more about the diverse world of phenotypes.

Prognathism

2026-04-30T20:39:22Z

Mongol:

= Prognathism =

Prognathism describes a projection of the jaws. Prognathous individuals also have their mouth and lips pushed forward. The shape of the lower part of the nose is altered as well. Measuring prognathism is relatively complex, and various methods have been devised (e.g. the basion-prosthion length). Most early Hominids were prognathous. The continuous reduction of jaw size probably brought advantages in that the extra off-center weight of a protrusive jaw impedes rapid turning of the head. Several tropical populations still show significant prognathism today, especially in Africa and Australia. This led some early anthropologists to describe Africans as more "primitive" compared to Europeans, who show prognathism in fewer cases. However, this would be a hasty conclusion without considering that Europeans show higher frequencies of other "primitive" traits like strong male body hair and pronounced supraorbital arches. Individuals with absence of prognathism are usually defined as orthognathous (there exist a few more detailed distinctions as well that are not considered here). The maps show regions where orthognathy and prognathy are common (yellow). The dark yellow colour shows where both traits are found in a milder form.

'''Orthognathous:'''

Orthognathy developed relatively early in the evolution of Homo sapiens and continuously increased in frequency, especially in colder regions. It is widespread in Europe, much of North and East Asia, as well as most parts of Polynesia and America. In Africa, orthognathy is common in the North of the continent as well as in many East Africans (Ethiopids). Orthognathy is also frequent in Khoisans of South Africa.

'''Prognathous:'''

Prognathy is the typical condition in most Hominid species and was found in almost all prehistoric humans. Today centres of prognathy lie in sub-Saharan Africa as well as Native Australia. In a milder form it occurs in Melanesia and New Guinea, parts of Indonesia, South Asia, and even in mountain regions of the Middle East. In America prognathy is especially found in some Lagids and Fuegids, but hardly as strong as in Africa and Native Australia. In Europe some of the more ancient types (e.g. Paleo Atlantids) can show mild prognathy. Milder forms include alveolar prognathism.

| name = Libyid
| group = Orientalid
| description = North African steppe type that is usually regarded as part of Orientalid. Although Arab invasions enhanced the Orientalid element in Africa during the 7th and 11th century, this type results from much earlier migrations and was already present in the ancient Libyan Garamantes. Still common across the steppes of Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, sometimes Algeria, occasionally in the Sahara and in Andalusia. Closely linked to Targid, which can be regarded as its desert variety.
| traits = Light brown skin, often wavy black hair. Rather tall, brachy- mesoskelic, ectomorph. Dolichocephalic, chamaecranic with a round occiput. Long face, dark eyes, big mouth, and an often convex, hyperleptorrhine and prominent nose. The interorbital distance is relatively small, features are much finer than in Berberid.

| description = Phenotype group typical for native Australian people. Probably split off from one of the early Out-of-Africa migrations before the divergence of Europeans and East Asians. Migrated to Australia via a South Asian route. The North Australid variety is high-skulled, taller, darker, and more slender, the South Australid low-skulled, more thickset, and fairer-skinned. In the Western Desert exists a short-faced, lighter-haired Desert Australid variety. Until the 20th century a pygmoid Barrinean variety was found in the forests. The kinky-haired Tasmanid was native to Tasmania. European colonisation practically wiped out all of them except North Australids and Desert Australids.
| traits = Often shows a variety of ancient features. Superciliary arches strong, prognathy, long skulls, receding chin and foreheads. Long-legged, slender, skin medium brown to black, hair wavy to curly, noses very wide. Body hair stronger than in Sub-Saharan Africans.

| name = Melanesid
| group = Australoid
| description = The dominant type of New Guinea and Melanesian islands. The name derives from melas (Greek) = black, and nesos = island. Probably developed through various migrations from South-East Asia during the Paleolithic and Neolithic. Although features sometimes appear Sub-Saharan African, no close relationship exists, and they result from convergent evolution. Besides the Insular Melanesid proper, a more gracile, long-nosed Neo Melanesid variety is found among Papuans. Mountain Melanesids show very robust features, Tapirids are among the shortest people of the world. In the Western Solomon Islands, a very dark Bukaid variety exists. A very ancient, Australoid variety is the Paleo Melanesid .
| traits = Medium brown to black skin, tight-curly hair, robust features, often with supraorbital arches, wide, relatively high noses and full lips, the height is variable, the limbs are long.

| name = Negritid
| group = Australoid
| description = Very ancient South Asian type that probably arrived with an early Out-of-Africa migration via oceanic routes. Was pushed back by later migrations of Veddids and Mongoloids, and survives only in small numbers scattered across several remote locations. Until 1857, the Andamanids ( North Andamanid , South Andamanid ) lived extremely isolated. After contact, populations rapidly collapsed due to disease. In the Philippines, an Aetid variety exists, in the Malayan peninsula a Semangid variety, both still survive in the rainforests. Deforestation, loss of culture, and disease could soon wipe out these unique people.
| traits = Very short, males often below 150 cm, and have dark brown to black skin, kinky hair, and relatively short skulls. In difference to African Pygmies, Negritids show adultiform proportions, e.g. no abnormally short legs. Facial features are usually more gracile, noses not very wide.

| description = Ancient group of South America, indigenous to mountains, steppes, and coasts from Brazil to Patagonia. Sporadically in forest groups. Possibly the most ancient Native American type. Arrived with one of the first migrations to America during the Paleolithic. The Lagid proper, or Lagoa Santa type , is high-skulled, low-faced, and broad-nosed. The second Lagid subgroup is the Fuegid, distinguished by low skulls, higher faces, and narrower noses. Fuegid subvarieties include South Fuegids , Huarpids , and the Botocudo type. Some authors don't include Fuegid in Lagid. All Fuegid varieties are close to extinction today due to European colonisation. The Lagoa Santa type still has several relict groups.
| traits = Lagid skulls are often long with robust facial features, deep-set eyes below supraorbital arches, broad zygomatic arches, low-rooted, sometimes concave nose, chin slightly receding, hair wavy or straight, skin yellowish/copperish brown.

| description = South American group, native to the Andean mountains. The most populous Native American type today with several million representatives, constitutes an important population element in Peru and Bolivia. Prior to contact with Europeans, frequent in the Inca civilisation. Like other Native Americans, the type developed through various Stone Age migrations across the Bering Strait. The North Andids can be regarded as the most typical variety. Central Andids are more robust, fairer-skinned and flatter-faced. In the Chilean Andes a special South Andid variety with Patagonid influence is found.
| traits = Bodies short and thick-set with a large thorax, an adaption to the high altitude, skull high and medium-wide to broad, forehead sloping, significant cheekbones, mild Mongoloid eye features. Prominent and long, often hooked noses, rather wide mouth, sturdy chin, straight hair, medium to dark olive-brown skin.

| name = Amazonid
| group = Amerindian
| description = Native American type of the tropical lowland forests of South America. Developed in Guyanan savannahs from a Proto Mongoloid stock that had migrated South coming from the Bering Strait. Later expanded all over Amazonia, modern Brazil, and the Caribbean, where it was the dominant type during pre-Colombian periods. Populations collapsed after contact with Europeans, but several Amazonian tribes remain until today. The North Amazonid is often regarded as the typical variety. The slightly fairer and taller South Amazonids result from relatively late migrations to the South. The darker, more robust West Amazonids assimilated older elements.
| traits = Body often short and mildly thick-set, in females strong lumbar lordosis, but small buttocks. Skull often medium-long, steep, broad forehead, soft facial features, weak cheekbones, narrow lid fissure, relatively high nose, weak chin, light to medium yellowish or reddish-brown skin, straight to wavy hair.

| description = Central Native American group found in Native Americans from the Southern US states to Colombia. Developed through various Stone Age migrations across the Bering Strait and subsequent partial adaption to humid (sub)tropical climate. Prior to contact with Europeans common in ancient Maya and Aztec civilisations. Later wars, disease, and admixture reduced numbers, but Centralids still play a significant role today. The short, thickset, very round-headed Isthmids are often regarded as the most typical form. The lower-skulled, convex-nosed, and gracile Maya type of Yucatan shows some distinguishing features. In more northern regions, a fairer-skinned, taller, and more robust Pueblid variety is found.
| traits = Body slender to stocky, often short, skulls very short, forehead steep and narrow, angular, gracile face with weak cheekbones, Mongoloid eye features rare, nose rather wide and prominent, mouth wide, chin often receding, skin often medium brown, straight to wavy black hair.

| description = Native American group, native to the semi-deserts and dry forests from California to Mexico. Relatively ancient. Arrived with one of the first migrations to America during the Paleolithic. The most populous and typical Margids are the short and stocky Mexicids. The Sonorids are taller and more elongated, often even darker, they show a strong adaption to arid climate. In contrast to those two high-skulled varieties, the almost-extinct Californid is low-skulled, even shorter, and very robust. Silvid, Centralid, and later European colonisations dramatically reduced Margid numbers, but as an admixed element Mexicids play an important role in the modern Mexican population.
| traits = Margid skulls are often long and small, supraorbital arches significant, low and broad-faced, eye folds rare, relatively wide, low-rooted nose, chin weak, hair straight, skin reddish medium to dark brown.

| description = Native American group that was typical for the vast forests of modern Canada and the North American East Coast. Developed out of various Stone Age migrations across the Bering Strait. After reintroduction of the horse to America by Europeans, Silvids started to populate the Great Plains to hunt buffaloes. Later wars and disease dramatically reduced their numbers, today a few hundred thousand remain. From Canada to the Great Plains, the Planid variety shows lower and broader skulls combined with longer noses. The Appalacid variety, native to the East Coast states, shows broader noses, higher and longer skulls, as well as thinner bodies.
| traits = Tall with robust bodies and large skulls of medium length, face relatively long and angular, mildly flattened, nose prominent and convex, occasional Mongolian folds, broad mouth, sturdy chin, thin lips, yellowish light brown skin.

| description = The most common type of Pacific Islanders who inhabit a large area from Melanesia to the Easter Island and Hawaii. The origin has been much disputed, "Out-of-India" and "Out-of-Taiwan" models have been discussed. Most likely the type results from various South (East) Asian migrations that started during the Neolithic. Has a Mediterraniform, rather long-skulled Nesiotid variety, more common in Western Polynesia and Tahiti, and a slightly more Mongolid, short-skulled Robust Polynesid variety in Eastern Polynesia (e.g. Hawaii). Among the Maori of New Zealand, a South Polynesid variety can be identified. The Fijid variety blends with Melanesids. Several Pacific Islander populations collapsed after discovery by Europeans, mostly because of diseases. Today the islands are more mixed.
