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]

Physical Traits

Pale to fair skin, straight or wavy blonde, sometimes red or brown hair, blue or mixed eyes. Tall, meso- macroskelic, mesomorph to endomorph with a heavy bone structure. Mildly brachycephalic, with an extraordinary large head. Leptorrhine, straight, sometimes concave nose. Face roundish and robust, forehead high.
