Capoid appearence in a Berber

[morfrain_encilgar]

We are all familiar with the Negroid features of some North Africans (I think they contributed to subsaharan Negroids). But I think this Berber shows descent from a type ancestral to modern Capoids.

Perhaps I'm hallucinating or something but I'm wondering Atlanto-Med, if you might have somehow mixed up the pics for your two Berber threads. In my opinion, this woman: http://www.danheller.com/images/Afr...eshow/img7.html doesn't look Capoid and nor does the fellow you posted: http://www.danheller.com/images/Afr...eshow/img3.html look British.... ?

This girl is a pure Europid of the more robust and lighter Mediterranid variant you can often see in Berbers.
No way to see any Capoid/Khoisanid admixture.

Probably you meant this girl:

I was referring to the picture that I posted.

Frans agrees with me that the girl I described as Capoid may show a descent from the unreduced Capoids of the Sahara region.

He says

It might go back to 1) a capid strain, 2) a Boskop strain(part Cromagnon) or 3) associated to Cromagnon and Arabid proper as a special adaptation device in a desert environment, the latter is in Lundman's view a gracilized low-vaulted Cromagnid.

[Agrippa]

The facial expression of the girl is just misleading.

I'm absolutely sure that from another angle she would never look for anybody Khoisanid.

Coon assumed that the Mouillian Mechtoids mixed with local Aterians "producing a population with short , broad faces, flattish upper faces, alveolar prognathism, and square jaws".
The Aterians themselves would be driven out southward beyond the Sahara.
Afalou 40 had upper facial flatness which suspiciously falls in the Bushmen range and I am not certain if Coon didn't hint on appointing this specimen as forerunner of the Borreby race; the Ofnet Brachycephals are arranged due to their thick-walled and large-headed skull affairs to the latter, however their steep low forehead, pronounced cheekbones and skull shape make it too unlikely to be simply considered a reduced Borreby and pre-Alpinoid.
The face is dwarfish and has a shallow mandible, hence why Ofnet are linked to the Lappid race.
Comparing their skull design in profile with the Cromagnoid-Khoisanid of Wilton and Springbok(South Africa) I noticed interesting similarities: the formation of the forehead and the voluminious skull with flat vault is virtually the same, only the occiput is closer to the more evolved Europoid of Springbok.

Both, Bushmen and Lapps wrinkle enormiously with the aging process due to a thin skin and reduced subcutaneous fat.

It's mere parallelism, induced by a common Cromagnoid/Caucasoid progenitor, or in more neutral terms, a special cut-off branch evolving progressively and out from the Mittlere Rassenlinie, undergoing life zone speciation and mixing with Dama and Negrids producing in Southern Africa the Sanid people.
There is imo little which doesn't hint that while the definite origins of Negrids lays in obscurity, their formation must have been of very late epochs, since the available samples of prehistoric men in Africa appears to be morphologically either Caucasoid or Australoid, often though with a slight *embryonal* Negrid-Khoisanid touch on them.

It would be fascinating to test out the theory of *pygmees* in neolithic Switzerland in respect to my exposition here, while risking a slithery in disbelief and derision, but a hypothesis involving a vanished relict race between European Cromagnoids and Springbok-Wilton types, maybe even some northern offshoot of the Aterian folk surviving in remote isolated areas in Central Europe is nevertheless fascinating and worth a deeper look.
Maybe Atlanto-med can furnish us next time some random information and links pertaining to these Swiss *Pygmees*.

Besides, Atlanto-med, the answer to the question if the Lappids are sinodont as the Sanids, is a sound yes.

East Europeans have small teeth compared with the relatively large teeth of the Scandinavian, a peculiarity deriving from an age-old genetic distinction. Ancient skulls tell usthat the early settlers of east Europe were mostly descendants of an ancient east European population which lived in prolonged isolation from the Scandinavians. Perhaps the "Siberian" element in Finnish genes is, in fact, east European in origin?
The Samis, too, have comparatively small teeth, which has been cited as evidence that they are descendants of the small-toothed Mesolithic population of east Europe. Archaeological findings and genetic evidence nevertheless fail to back up this theory. Have the small teeth of the Samis evolved in isolation, or are they a later genetic trait? If we take the latter alternative, we should perhaps consider the contributing role of those settlers who migrated to the Sami region from the northern parts of Finland and east Karelia. There is archaeological evidence of such northbound migration from the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age.

According with Coon in his Book '' the living races of man'', the Capoids inahibitated North Afrika in the past.

This thread is pathetic. She could go for a spaniard anytime.

I've never seen a Spaniard that looked like her. There's much more to this than general coloration, to someone whose eye is trained in this.

[Getorix]

Are we both talking about the same one? I'm not talking about colouration, but mere facial features. Feel free to point out the "Capoid" features.
I've seen many older spanish dancers who looked like her.
