Maybe Alpinoid (Borreby?) with Med? His eye/brow region remind me of Rudolf Hess.

[Glenlivet]

Probably Mediterranid.

Maybe Alpinoid (Borreby?) with Med?

Probably.He looks Balkanish too.

[Allenson]

Probably Mediterranid.

His shallow mandible and narrow nasal root do indicate a Mediterranean. I'm wondering if there might be some Faelid in there as well--specifically I'm seeing the overhanging brow, deepish eyes and what appears to be a broad, or relatively so, bigonial diameter.

Obviously his pigmentation is Mediterranean.


I've seen mandibles such as his before--those being mandibles that are shallow, top to bottom, yet they are also wide across at the gonials and they taper in sharply toward the chin. I've been curious as to what source this form might be attributable to....

Probably.He looks Balkanish too.

When I think of the Balkan I think mainly of dinarics, ofcourse there are other types in the Balkan too but dinarics are the most common I believe.

I dont think Marc Overmars looks dinaric. My opinion would be that he is Mediterrenean.

I noticed the bigonial being greater than a Mediterranid. Maybe there is some Phalian, in weak form. Phalian is quite common in the Netherlands. The Dutch have also mixed greatly with Europeans and non-Europeans. A name does not indicate much, sometimes nothing at all, like with Negroids who got Anglo-Saxon names . In any case I think it can be explained by Dinarid.

Obviously his pigmentation is Mediterranean.

I agree.

I know what you mean and it can be Dinarid. They often have a dimple chin, shallow, but it juts out a bit. Maybe he is more Dinarid than Mediterranid:

His vault look quite high. Don't you think?

See the attached pictures of three Dinarids.

I can see what you mean.

Did I say he was Dinarid? Maybe Dinaroid Even pure Dinarid types are hard to come by.Anyway, Borreby-like types are usually the root race of Dinarids I believe.Look at his wide,high forehead,bi-gonials,zygs etc...He looks Borreby/Med(more pigmentation wise).It's common in the Balkans,especially with Montenegrins/Serbs.

The Dutch have also mixed greatly with Europeans and non-Europeans.

Modern day dutch people are a mixture between Celtic, Germanic, Roman, Spaniards who ruled Holland for a long time, French who ruled Holland, Southern-French Hugenots who immigrated to Holland and many others.

Its a big mix and thats why dutch people can look like anything, some dutch people look like blackhaired darkbrown eyed Sicilians other dutch people are blond and blue eyed etc.

There is only one thing that all dutch people have in common : white skin.

Did I say he was Dinarid? Maybe Dinaroid

No you didnt. You only said he was Balkan looking
