Mediterranid, Nordid and the transition in composite faces

[Agrippa]

I made another morph trial, this time more elaborated, using first Westmediterranid (classic Mediterranid), Atlantomediterranid, Atlantid and Pontid (Eastern European, partly slight Alpinoid influences), so all European Mediterranid forms, with a rather Northern Mediterranid (Atlanto-Pontid) dominance, I included myself in this sample, the average eliminated largely all individual deviations which make such composite faces so interesting:


The composite face of a strongly Nordid (Skando- and Eastnordid) sample:


Next the morph of the two, the European Mediterranid and Nordid morphs (50:50):

I think this approaches a Nordatlantid to "dark Nordid" rather, closer to Nordid than the typical Atlantid/Nordomediterranid samples already.

Pred. West-Atlantomediterranid-Atlantid female composite face (minor Alpino-Cromagnoid influences) of a mostly Iberian sample:


Nordid sample, most from Eastern Europe, but not all:


Morph of Nordid and Mediterranid:

The vault of the first is too small sized and narrow when compared to the face which is much larger.

How many individuals are included in each morph?

8-12 individuals. I still try to improve the method...

I used again mainly West-Atlantomediterranid and Atlantid individuals, no significant other influences (like Alpinoid) any more, with a stronger dominance of the Atlantid individuals, balanced the forehead out (more control points), using the morphs too, the result approximates what I'd describe as Atlantid/Atlanto-Pontid:

The Nordid face from above was distorted (proportions) and the Mediterranid-Atlantid one as well, therefore a new transition from rather Atlanto-Pontid/Atlantid to Nordid:
