Ancient and Modern Middle Easterns PART-1

West Asian and North African Races: Arabid type The Arabid race (also Oriental race or Syrid race) is a historical term for a morphological subtype of the Mediterranean race, as used in physical anthropology. The Arabid race was thought to have originated in the Arabian Peninsula, and it is currently predominant there as well. It is a major element in the Levant region of the Middle East, and a minor element in other parts of Western Asia. The type was known as Araboid in forensic pathology and anthropology. In the Near East region, it is heavily mixed with the Armenoid race. This Armenoid-Araboid hybrid type is alternatively known as the Assyrid. Levantine Arabs, which include Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians and Palestinians, are often of this physical type, as are many Arabized Armenians and northern Iraqis. The ancient Phoenicians, who were ancestral to the Lebanese and Syrians, also generally belonged to this type. A Semitic people, the Phoenicians made their way to Southern Europe, where they intermingled with the Italic peoples to form the Maltese people. Gulf Arabs, also known as Arabian Arabs or true Arabs, among whom are the Yemenis, Bahranis, Omanis, southern Iraqis and the Bedouins, are more frequently of classic Arabid type. In areas bordering the Iranian plateau, the Arabid type also not seldom merges with the Irano-Afghan race, a local Mediterranean subtype. --- Irano-Afghan type The Irano-Afghan race (also known as the Iranid race) was an historical term for a physical type most common among populations native to the Iranian plateau. The Irano-Afghan type was classified as belonging to the greater Caucasian race. It was variously associated with either the Nordic subtype or the Mediterranean subtype, depending on the authority consulted. Carleton S. Coon in his The Races of Europe classifies the Indo-Afghans and Irano-Afghans as Nordic, describing them as being long-faced, high-headed and nose-hooked. Bertil Lundman by contrast postulates an "Iranid" subtype of his "Eastern Mediterranean" race. Earnest Hooton in 1946 describes the "Iranian Plateau type" as distinct from the Atlanto-Mediterranean one: particularly in its long, high-bridged, and boldly jutting nasal promontory. It has the same huge dolichocephalic head and massive, usually long face. The great nose may be either straight or convex, more often the latter. According to Renato Biasutti the type was defined by: Brunet-white color, very dark hair and eyes, abundant pilosity; medium stature (165), slim body; very long (74) and high head with prominent occiput; long face; large and high nose with root at the level of the forehead, straight or convex spine, strongly curved nostrils (64); full lips, robust chin. John Lawrence Angel following Coon in 1971 discusses a "Nordic-Iranian type" in the following terms: D1 lies between Anglo-Saxon and Keltic area norms, and D2 is the earlier pre-Bronze Age Corded form which Coon identifies. Type D3, lighter and more hawk-nosed, is transitional to the Mediterranean type B4 and to type D4 (Iranian), which is the Proto-Iranian of Vallois, Irano-Afghan of others, and Proto-Nordic of Krogman, and which is more linear and more rugged than D3 and has a more tilted chewing plane, more nasal convexity, and deeper occiput. Type D5 approximates Coon's Danubian-Halstatt and successor Central European forms. --- Ethiopid type Ethiopid (also known as Aethiopid, Eastern Hamite, Erythriote) is a historical racial classification of humans. Ethiopids were typically classified as a Caucasoid (Europid) subrace. In their stable form, their center of distribution was considered to be Northeast Africa/Horn of Africa, among that region's Hamito-Semitic-speaking populations. Physically, the classic Ethiopid was of medium height, with a dolicocephalic or mesocephalic skull. Facial form was essentially Caucasoid, with an orthognathic profile (no prognathism) and a rather prominent, narrow nose. Hair form was often wavy and ringlety, and skin color was invariably brown, with either a reddish or blackish tinge. It is not certain which Caucasoid subrace formed the basis of this stock, but authorities usually suggested Mediterranid or Proto-Mediterranid ancestors. ---- Music: Until The Last Moment - Yanni
