Med ?

[goidelicwarrior]

these images of randomly selected Spaniards from north to south illustrates well the composition of the nation formely known as Celtiiberia.. any thoughts...

They all look Med or Med/UP to me.
With the possible exception of the last man, I'm not sure if he's Med.

[Azdaja]

From what I've read, northern Spain is somewhat racially different from the rest of the country. Although the primary element is still Mediterranean (in this case Western Mediterranean), there are also some Nordid and Alpinid strains.
My guesses:
Pic 1 = Nordid + West Med cross
Pic 2 = West Med (more or less)
Pic 3 = Alpine + Med
Pic 4 = Berid (wild guess, as I don't know what a Berid looks like. This guy looks "medish", but not West Med)
Pic 5 = West Med + Nordid or Borreby
Pic 6 = Probably the most 'nordish' of them all.

Quick evaluation:

1: Atlanto-Med
2: Alpinid/Med mix
3: Atlanto-Med/Alpinid mix
4: Almost looks Keltic Nordic
5: looks Slavic.
6: Battle Axe maybe.

These people could fit without much problem in France, North Italy as well the western fringe of Central Europe, an area encompassing the former Celtic distribution on the mainland and virtually a border region where the UP-Alpine-Nordic world meets and mixes with the Mediterranids.

What we got here is a reasonable harmonic solution of both partitions; if we eliminate slight exotic features, which only give them their distinctive Soutwestern European look:

1. Keltic Nordic
2. Alpine
3. Nordic, with diluted Alpine admixture
4. Nordic, but coarse skin texture and grooved lines may hint a Dinaric or UP source
5. Alpine-Faelian
6. Faelian

this was my intention.. to show that the talk about a Med " race " is utter nonsens.. what I have been emphazizing is that during the millenia migrations have mingled the white subraces, specially on the Iberian peninsula ... the Celts in early days covered ( see map ) what is most of western Europe, so the above composition is resonable..

Mediterraneans are just a name for the large group of people who can be divided into at least 4 groups.
Spanish meds are different from Greek meds, who are different from levantine meds etc.

I wonder how "randomly selected" these Spaniards are. A few of them look like Northern Europeans, and one in fact is blonde. Perhaps you selected the most "Nordish" Spaniards you could find to give a false impression of Spain. The swarthy elements of Spain are well-known and there is no reason to hide it. Velazquez, Spain's greatest artist, looked nothing like those individuals you posted. (I am green-eyed and largely UP, and have been classified as a "Paleo-Atlantid." However, I see nothing wrong with brown-eyed Spaniards, and feel no need to hide them, which is why I had Velazquez on my avatar when I first posted at Skadi).

Of course, Velázquez was from Andalucia (South of Spain) .The swarthy elements of Spain have non white origin.
