thanks

1) Cevdet. SW Asian. Iranoid mainly. Cant say if brachy
2) Deba. Sw Asian ( similar types occur 8n S Europe, butneyes and hair line are eastern) Med/Alp
3) Simsek. Sw asian. Close to some Coon Armenoid types
4) Yasar. Sw asian. Looks Armenoid/Alpine
5) Uzonoglu pan Southern Euro. Would fit in S Italy. At the same time looks tupically Anatolian. Maybe close to Cappadocian ” Gracil med”
6) looks almost S American. Mediterranean mainly with “exotic” element
7) Armenoid Sw Asian very Armenoid looks
8) SW Asian. I think he is a good Anadolid (gracil Arenoid type)

1.) Iranid + Asian Alpinoid
2.) Robust Alpinoid/CM + Iranid
3.) Irano-Mediterranid + Alpinoid
4.) Eastmediterranid
5.) Anadolid/Alpinoid
6.) Gracilmediterranid + Alpinoid
7.) Alpinoid + CM
8.) Iranid

Mostly Alpines, Armenoids and Mediterraneans in various combos. I don’t see much of the Iranid/Irano-Afghan type in these folks.

^Well some of the Kurdish posters that used to be active on this forum used to post a lot of Iranid-looking Kurds

Be-Real wrote:^ nothing unusual

it is a myth that we have mostly Iranid types

It’s not a myth that Iranid is one of the relevant typs among Kurds. But it’s not the only relevant type. Alpines, OstMediterranids and Dinarids/Armenoids and even some Nordic types play also a role.

1. Irano Nordic
2. Cromagnoid
3. Anatolid tending towards Dinarid
4. Robust or Irano_Mediterranid
5. Anatolid+Alpine
6. Med+Alpine
7. Alpine with some Irano_med
8. Cappadocian Med

Be-Real wrote:the term Iranomed seems weird to me though

I think thats just a Pontid-Iranid mix

Yes basically that it is but you could describe almost all other types the same way. Armenoids are basically Dinarized alpines, Baskids can be explained as AtlantoMeds with Dinarid admixture.
