Description

Isolated Sudanid variety of the Nuba mountains in Kurdufan / Sudan, native to the region at least since the Neolithic. Has resisted historic invasions of neighbouring types over a long time. However, even in isolated villages, Nilotid, Congolid, and Orientalid admixture is common. A minority type in Fur, Kresh, Yulu, Nara, Kunama, and even Southern Egyptians.[1]

Physical Traits

Dark brown, sometimes black skin, usually kinky hair. Tall, long-legged and mesomorph. Mesocephalic, sometimes dolichocephalic, mildly hypsicranic. (Hyper-)platyrrhine nose. The face is large with relatively narrow eyelids and bulging lips. The frontoparietal region is flattened. Prognathy is moderate, body hair weak.
