North Atlantid

### Location:

British Isles, France, Germany, Austria, Iberia and Italy. Common in North America, Australia and occasionally in parts of South America (due to european colonization and immigration).

### Similar types:

Atlantid, Keltic Nordid, Nordic-Mediterranean Atlanto-Mediterranean, North Pontid, Baskid, Hallstatt, Litorid

### Body:

Rather tall, ectomorphic to slightly mesomorphic

### Cephalic index:

MesocephalicDolicho-mesocephalic in Ireland

### Eye color:

Light (Blue, green or grey) or light-mixed. Rarely mixed (Light Hazel)

### Nasal shape:

Hyperleptorrhine, straight, sometimes convex or concave

## Description:

Western European human phenotype that is mostly a mixture of Nordid with minor Mediterranid elements. This type is equivalent to Carleton S. Coon's **blue** **eyed Atlanto-Mediterranean**, Hooton’s **Keltic** type, and the **Northwestern** **type** of Deniker and many other anthropologists. Resembles British Iron Age Celts.

It is the principal element in Ireland and parts of Britain, especially Western Scotland and Wales. Common in Northwestern France, Northern Italy, Austria, Southern Germany and Switzerland, sometimes Belgium, Central/Southern Italy, Western Germany, Central/Southern France and Norway. Sporadically from Portugal and Galicia to Sweden. Sometimes even in Iceland. Not to be confused with British Eurafricanids altered by Nordid admixture.

It is found in unreduced form in Ireland, where it has a lower cephalic index. In Britain and France, it’s often found mixed with local Celts and other types. In parts of England is heavily mixed with CM types. In Central Europe is often mixed with West Alpinid and sometimes with Dinarid.

## Physical traits:

Pale to light, most commonly fair, and sometimes ruddy or freckled skin. Brown, sometimes black or reddish hair with light, often blue eyes. Grey and green eyes also exists. Rather tall, mesoskelic, sometimes macroskelic, ectomorphic to slightly mesomorph with relatively long arms. Mesocephalic, except for Ireland where the index is the lowest in the country at below 77. Chameo-orthocranic. Prominent, hyperleptorrhine, long-tipped nose that may be convex or concave. Forehead is narrow and sloping, mandible small, malars compressed. Often small chin.

## Estimates:

* Wales: 35% (primary racial element)
* Canada: 30% ( British Isles descendants)
* USA: 10-25% (especially in the Intermountain West and the Ohio River Valley) (British Isles descendants)
* England: 15% (most common in the Midlands and the west; common ethnic composite)
* Scotland: 10% (primary element in western Scotland)
* Ireland : 9% (most common in the southeastern coastal where it's the primary racial element)
