Where in Europe would one find the largest concentrations of people bearing a North-Atlantid appearance? Where is the epicentre of North Atlantism? Just as the Vastergotland province in Sweden is supposedly the centre of Hallstatt Nordicism, and Bavaria is reported to be the focal point of Alpinism; in what particular region of what nation can we say the black haired, blue-eyed North Atlantid phenotype reigns with the greatest percentage of the population?
Could it be in a certain area of Wales, or maybe in the County Wicklow or Wexford areas of southeastern Ireland? I know Coon would probably say Wales (He never gets specific about "where" in Wales though. Believe it or not; it's a big country.), but he, nor many other anthropologists seem to give a great deal of attention to this phenotype I know from my own travels and observations south eastern Ireland would beat out Wales as the place where this type is most notable. Granted, I've spent very little time in Wales, but what little I have seen of the Welsh, they strike me as being more brown eyed and a few shades swarthier too. Am I wrong about this? And besides eye colour, what separates the North-Atlantid type from the Paleo-Atlantid type. I saw on a website somewhere that the Paleo-Atlantid type can occasionally have light or blue eyes. They used the Irish singer, Mary Black as an exanple, but by having blue eyes wouldn't this make that person a North-Atlantid instead?
Thanks,
