Predominantly Atlantomediterranid, perhaps slightly influenced by Cromagnid.
I don't see anything else. The profile shot is not the best though. He is 185cm tall according to Wikipedia.
I've been wondering about something, alot of Spaniards are classified as Atlanto-Med, but according to Coon
http://racialreality.110mb.com/subraces.htmlAtlanto-Mediterranean: The tall, straight-nosed Mediterranean, not mesocephalic, as Deniker erroneously stated, but strongly dolichocephalic. Today this race forms the principal element in the population of North Africa, and is strong in Iraq, Palestine, parts of Arabia, and the eastern Balkans; in solution with varying degrees of negroid it is also the principal race in the whole of East Africa. In Europe it is a minority element in the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and the British Isles.
It just seems strange that a minority element is so very common when Spaniards are classified.
Batistuta is not a Spaniard, but an Argentinian of Italian descent. Even though said fact does not completely invalidate your argument, I will stick to my original classification attempt as I find Atlanto-Mediterranid a highly useful category from a descriptive point of view. If you want to do without the category of Atlanto-Mediterranid, Batistuta still is within the Mediterranid range IMO.Originally Posted by Méldmir
It says that it is a minority element in Italy as well. It's just strange that southern Europeans in general are classified as Atlanto-Med, when Coon wrote that above. Maybe what we think is Atlanto-Med is actually some other subrace or maybe Coon was wrong that is was uncommon in southern Europe.
