Europoids
Renato Biasutti, Le razze ei popoli della terra, 2nd ed., vol. 1, p. 408-409 (tr. by Dienekes Pontikos):
Branch of the EUROPOIDS
Depigmentation, to a notable degree, of the skin, and, in some forms, of the pilous system and the eyes; fine and straight, wavy, or curly hair; medium or abdundant hair growth; variable stature with great prevalence of proportions of intermediate form; cranium of varying form with glabellar-superciliary relief in the adult male; retreated malars of reduced volume; nose with salient root and spine, on the facial plane, and weakly expanded nostrils; orthognathous facial profile, prominent chin. Strong sexual dimorphism.
[Biasutti divides the Europoids to the Pre-Europid stock, (H. s. protoeuropaeus, Biasutti), which includes the Ainu and Uralic subraces, the Lappid stock (H.s. lappo, Erxleben 1777), which includes the Lapponic race and the Europid stock]
Europid stock (H. s. europaeus Linnaeus 1758)
Color, stature and cephalic index with the same variations as in the Branch [=Europoids]; non-extreme proportions of the body, with relatively short arm and wide pelvis; well-developed musculature; head of moderate size; great total reduction of the masticatory apparatus and the dental arch; salient, thin nose, with high root, close to the level of the forehead; medium to thin lips, well-developed chin.
[The Europid stock includes eight (8) races, according to Biasutti:
1. Mediterranean (incl. Berber, Paleosardinian, Litoral subraces)
2. Nordic, or North European (incl. Dalic, Finnic, Irish subraces)
3. Iranian, or Oriental (incl. Assyroid and Libyan subraces)
4. Indian (incl. peninsular Indian subrace)
5. Alpine (incl. Georgian subrace)
6. Baltic, or East Baltic (incl. Preslavic, Carpathic subraces)
7. Adriatic, or Dinaric (incl. Padanian, Noric subraces)
8. Pamirian, or Anatolian-Pamirian (incl. Armenoid subrace)
