The Mediterranid/Osteuropid type.

They are short to medium stature, the pigmentation always disharmonic, the cephalic index variable, but in most cases dolychocephalic or mesocephalic, less leptoprosope and less lepthorrine if we compare with the Nordid/Mediterranid type:

Their descriptive characters present a curious mixture of Mediterranid and Osteuropid characters (Ph. 15a, 15b and 16a, 16b):






The variability of the cephalic index, the size that usually doesn't pass the average, the pigmentation disharmonic, denotes the miscegenation of two races, all two of small to medium size, but with different pigmentation and cephalic index.

The cœxistence of some characteristic particularities of the Mediterranean and Osteuropid, indicate the origin of the Mediterranid/Osteuropid type.

It is however interesting to note that when the individuals are mixed from more or less pure lines normally the mixed type come closer to the Mediterranean race that to the Osteuropid. Would it be here a dominance of the Mediterranean characters on the Osteuropid ones? It is difficult to say whatever it is thereon, before having more precise documents on the heredity of the characters inhaled. However that may be, in this blend, a bigger variability comparing with the Nordid/Mediterranid type.

This blended type corresponds to the formulas of the M-O type of v. Eicstedt.
