I thought of interest to add here this text posted by VG on a more recent thread.

This type was at the begining exceptionally long-headed with great size of the brain-case and rugged bony construction. The face commonly long and massive, but it may be rather short, sometimes perhaps oftenest when bodily stature is below medium. The jaws nearly always deep and heavy according to Hooton.
Hooton again thought tha a variant of this Upper Palaeolithic type in which the face is short and broad with laterally jutting cheek bones ans squeare, flaring gonial (hinder jaw) angles is often identified as a modern Cromagnon type.
And let me say that the West-(gracil)-Mediterranid. Brunet, long-headed and delicate type ordinarly named Classic Mediterranean is in fact a reduced, refined, smaller-boned derivate of the massive dolicochephal Upper Paleolithic Atlanto-Mediterranid. Carleton Coon argue, there has been an evolutionary tendency toward a fineing down, almost and effeminization, of early forms of man discernible in many modern races, both in general body build and particularly in skeletal structure. I think even nowadays many Atlanto-Mediterranids have suffered partially (evolution, admixture?) this process without arriving to the ends that sometimes is possible to see in the more gracil, infantile and sometimes effeminate types of the West-(Gracil)-Mediterranean race.
