I'm a little confused. Some physical anthropologists such as Coon don't recognise a distinct "Anglo-Saxon" type; rather, they classify these people (and I am one) simply as Hallstatt Nordics. Are there any real differences, and if so, specifically what are they? I see them both as being tall, fair haired, blue eyed, pale complected Nordics. Perhaps the Anglo-Saxon variety, which many speak of, could be classified as more muscular with a larger boned frame. And perhaps the skin colouring is fairer and less likely to tan in summer than pure Hallstatt Nordics. Is it also true, as some people say, these Nordics have a proclivity to red hair and freckles, unlike other Nordic types? Did I answer my own question here? If there is a distinct category of Nordics called the "Anglo-Saxon" type, where specifically in England is it most concentrated? Most literature I've read on the topic places them in south east England--well that's a pretty big area! Is it more like East Anglia, or the Home Counties, or the Surrey/Kent weald, or the Susex/Hampshire coastal areas? Just curious.
Thanks,
