A Mediterranoid phenotype found in coastal European regions that mixes Mediterranid, Dinaroid, and Armenoid facial features in a unique way. Most likely the result of ancient human migrations (Neolithic, Bell-Beaker, Phoenicians) from the Anatolian region (modern day Turkey) of the northern Middle East across the sea. Found from Lebanon and Southern Turkey to Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, France (Brittany, Gironde), partially British Isles (western and southern coasts, Wales, Scotland), Netherlands, Frisia, sometimes even Scandinavia and Poland. It is the most common phenotype found in Italian people.
