Description

European type with Gorid and Dinaro-Armenid elements. Common around the Carpathian Mountains of Central Eastern Europe, e.g. in Huzulis and other Ruthenians, but also right-bank Ukraine. In the high Carpathians outnumbered by Dinarid. Also in Romanians, Poles, Hungarians, Slovenians, Czechs, Croatians, and even Serbs and North Italians (esp. in Romagna).[1]

Physical Traits

Pale to light brown skin, straight or wavy, often brown hair and dark-mixed eyes. Medium height to rather tall, mesoskelic, endomorph to ectomorph. Brachycephalic, mildly hypsicranic, often with a rather square, broad face. Noses larger than in Gorids and East Europids, leptorrhine and often convex.
