Description
Found in its highest frequencies in Northern Europe. Started to develop during the Upper Paleolithic when Cro-Magnons settled in Europe. Reached its modern form after the influx of Indo-European migrants from the East around 5000 BCE (e.g. Corded Ware). Modern East Nordids ( ProtoNordids , Aisto Nordids ) still resemble those early migrants, the broader-faced Dalo Faelids still show similarities to Cro-Magnons. In the East, Nordids tend to be high-skulled, in the West, low-skulled. The Hallstatt type is usually seen as the most typical modern variety. Tronders are common in Scandinavia, the Anglo-Saxon variety in Western Europe. Colonists spread Nordids all over the world (e.g. Americas, Australia, South Africa).[1]
