Description

Armenid subtype of Anatolia with Dinaroid features. The core population lives in West Anatolia. Probably the result of Armenid influx into a Mediterranid population. Anatolids are the dominant element in Turkey today, but may also be found among Alawites, Lebanese, Greeks, in the Balkans, Crimea, among Caucasians, and sometimes even Iran.[1]

Physical Traits

Light brown skin, wavy, dark brown hair. Medium height, mesoskelic, ectomorph to endomorph. Brachycephalic and hypsicranic. Facial features and body proportions are finer than in Dinarids and Armenids. The (hyper)leptorrhine nose is not fleshy, but hooked, the occiput is mildly flattened. Eyebrows and body hair usually heavy.
