Montandon on the Racial Elements of France

According to Coon's chapter on France:

"Montandon, a keen observer of the French racial scene, proposes the following racial proportions for the French nation: Nordic, 1 per cent; Sub-Nordic, 30 per cent; Dinaric-like, 15 per cent; relatively pure Alpine, 30 per cent; Small Mediterranean (Ibero-Insular), 10 per cent; Atlanto-Mediterranean (Litoral), 10 per cent; Basque type, l per cent; others, 3 per cent. Although the Alpine increment receives only 30 per cent, it must be remembered that in the Sub-Nordic as in the Dinaric-like category, there is a strong Alpine element; furthermore, the Atlanto-Mediterraneans of the Pyrenees and the Riviera are strongly tinged with Alpine. If Collignon's head diameters are correct, then the small Mediterraneans of the Dordogne are not pure Neolithic descendants, but have absorbed a much older non-Alpine racial entity."
