Probably developed after the ice age from early Mediterranid groups as an adaption to dry climate. The low-skulled Arabids are often regarded as the most typical variety. In Persia, a taller, high-skulled Iranid variety is found, in North Africa a similar Libyid . The Targids and Egyptids are in transition to Mediterranid, the Assyroids in transition to Armenoid. Tradesmen, conquerors, and migrants spread the type over many new regions in recent centuries, including North and East Africa, India, and Europe.[1]
