Description:
European type with Gorid and Dinaro-Armenid elements. Common around the Carpathian Mountains of Central Eastern Europe, e.g. in Huzulis and other Ruthenians, but also right-bank Ukraine. In the high Carpathians outnumbered by Dinarid. Also in Romanians, Poles, Hungarians, Slovenians, Czechs, Croatians, and even Serbs and North Italians (esp. in Romagna).Physical Traits:
Pale to light brown skin, straight or wavy, often brown hair and dark-mixed eyes. Medium height to rather tall, mesoskelic, endomorph to ectomorph. Brachycephalic, mildly hypsicranic, often with a rather square, broad face. Noses larger than in Gorids and East Europids, leptorrhine and often convex.Literature:
Named Carpathid by Lundman (1967), who noted both Dinarid and Armenid admixture. Făcăoaru (1944) described it as Carpathian race, Bunak's (1932, 1976) Lower Dnieper / Dnieper-Carpathian is similar just like the Polish Armenoids of Czekanowski (1967). Biasutti's (1967) Carpatico, a Baltid subtype, tends rather towards Gorid.
