Description
Western European type that combines features of Nordid and Mediterranid in a unique way. This type is equivalent to Carleton S. Coon's blue eyed Atlanto-Mediterranean, Hooton’s Keltic and Nordic-Mediterranean types, and the Northwestern type of Deniker and many other anthropologists. Resembles British Iron Age Celts. It is the principal element in Ireland and parts of Britain, especially Western Scotland and Wales. Common in Northwestern France, sometimes Belgium, Switzerland, Liguria, Western Germany, and Norway. Sporadically from Portugal and Galicia to Austria and Sweden. Not to be confused with British Eurafricanids altered by Nordid admixture.[1]
