Description
The Middle Nile type is a contact type of the Nile Valley located in Northern Sudan. Features are variable, although North African, West Asian, and Sub-Saharan elements have a long history of contact in the region. In difference to the North Ethiopid Nubians of the region, it is characterised by a combination of Sudanid and Orientalid. Most common from Khartoum to Kosti and west to El Obeid, also in Kababish, Sudanese Arabs, and even Baqquara.[1]
Physical Traits
Medium to dark brown skin, relatively fair for the region - a result of Orientalid admixture. Curly to kinky black hair. Rather tall, brachyskelic, variable body type. Dolicho- mesocephalic, orthocranic. Meso- platyrrhine. Overall features appear soft.
