This phenotype can be described as a having formed from depigmented versions of Arabid, Assyroid, Armenid, or East Mediterranid. Its origin and date is unknown, but it may have developed when Indo-European migrants entered the Middle East or as an adaptation to the Mountainous climates of the Near East.
