Classify this Mediterranid German Girl

[trajan70]

I have always wondered of which type this beautiful german actress is.

Is she an example of an atlanto-mediterranid type ? She looks extremely odd for a northern german (she hails from Niedersachsen); even in South Germany this type is extremely rare, unfortunately. I can't remember ever having seen a girl of a similar type in the streets of German towns.

She seems pretty high vaulted for a Med. I think Atlanto-Med would probably be the best category.

[Allenson]

Atlanto-Med sounds about right to me as well. If this phenotype was actually brought to Denmark (and north Germany?) with the Megalithic sun worshipers (as opposed to just a cultural/religious diffusion) then we should not be surprised to see it crop up in modern populations from time to time. I believe that Denmark has more of this type than Germany which would match up with what trajan70 said about it not being common.

[Dienekes_Pontikos]

Purely Mediterranean.

[Med]

Now that's what a German woman should look like: 100% Central Medish.

If only they all looked like that.

[SonOfZeus]

Dolychocephalic Proto-Mediterranean!

Eyes,nose,mouth look non-Greek.

[Tancred]

Certainly a mediterranid type. I think she looks southern Italian or Spanish, in any case she's nice looking, and that's what matters most!

[Zimmer Mann]

I think this type is also more common in the Netherlands. Actress Famke Janssen is a good example of this. I don't think types such as her would be too uncommon there.

[Mac Seafraidh]

Yeah and there are many Austro-Med. women too.

[Graeme]

She doesn't look like any Med woman I have known. To me she looks like that dark type found in the UK, Welsh or Irish, but not Italian or Spanish or Greek. The middle picture reminds me of the actress who played Emma Peel in the ancient Avengers. I think the German is quite attractive.
