Description

Ancient Central European element, associated with Pre-Slavic people. Common in Poles and West Ukrainians, especially in Volhynia, Galicia, Podolia, and east of Warsaw. May be found in the Balkans, in Czechs, Slovaks, Austrians, Germans, West Ukrainians, and Russians, even Finns. The fairer Vistulan, the Sudetic, and the Danube-March Valley types are similar and may be regarded as subvarieties.[1]

Pale to fair skin, straight or wavy, brown, rarely blonde hair, brown or mixed eyes. (Rather) short, endomorph to mesomorph with short limbs. Mesocephalic, sometimes brachycephalic, ortho- hypsicranic with a small egg-shaped head. Mildly leptorrhine, often depressed, concave nose. Relatively low, wide faces, prominent malars.
