Description

Ancient Northern European variety. Named after some of the Neolithic Borreby skulls of Denmark (not all!). Some emphasised resemblance with Cro-Magnons. Similar to Faelid, but shorter-skulled with East Baltid and Alpinid tendencies. Most common in Denmark, South Norway (J�ren), and North Germany (esp. Fehmarn). Extends to the Baltic region, Britain, Italy, and Montenegro.[1]
