Phalian vs Borreby

[Amorsite]

Compare Rick Astley (Phalian) with William Hague (Borreby)




In Coon's taxonomy Phalian or Faelid didnt exist, they were all Borreby, perhaps Coon would have considered Phalians "unreduced" Borreby types.

Actually, in The Races of Europe Coon outlandishly proposed that Dalo-Phalids were Nordid-Borreby mixtures. This certainly made it easier for him to claim large parts of Germany as Borreby rather than Nordoid-Cromagnoid.

It's the same simplistic static view of race that gave us:

- "Re-emergence" as an explanation for Alpinisation.
- Alpinid-Atlantopontid-Iranoid (Cappadocian) mixtures as an explination for Dinaricisation (Alpinid = short head, Atlanto = long face, "Cappadocian" = convex nose, "exaggerated length of the face" = couldn't explain, obviously)
- Neanderthal admixture as an explanation for Cro-Magnon.
- A predominantly North African neolithic origin for Mediterranids in Iberia

Did he so?
Please, could you quote me the passages?
thanks beforehand

neither of your examples seem to -at least to me- perfect representatives of the types that they are assumed to be related to. Astley is interesting, though, i had not noticed that before.
