The Alpish Hungarian overlords
September 22, 2005USUALLY the uppermost stratum of society is composed of Alpish race-types. The middle stratum is composed of athletic narrowheads (Mediterranids and Nordids) and the lower stratum of gracile types. This paper proves this for Hungary.
‘Another new aspect in his investigations was implied in
providing an anthropological analysis of the conquering
Hungarians according to three layers of society (Lipták
1983). According to his observations, the “overlords” were
characterized by Turanid, Uralian and Pamir race elements
and also by certain long-headed components. The “middle
layer” or “warriors’ layer”, however, showed an anthropological
profile distinctly different from that of the overlords.
It was essentially constituted by Mediterraneans, Nordoids
(who might also have been tall robust Mediterraneans) and
Pamir component while the absence of Turanid and Uralian
race characteristics was remarkable. As regards the third
layer, the so-called “common folk”, they were dominated,
just as the middle layer was, by Mediterranean and Nordoid
elements but, in addition, the Cromagnoid ones were also
significant.’
