The aristocratic Alpish North Africans
September 26, 2005Arabs are a long-headed Orientalid race, but the aristocracy is often more Alpish than the commoners who are standard dolichocephals.
‘Although the Alpine-looking Hejaz type may not yet be established on a scientific basis, its existence will be confirmed by readers who are acquainted with the people of this region. It seems very likely that men of this general type went to North Africa with the early Moslem invasions, for this type is frequent among the aristocratic families in North African cities, particularly in Fez, in contrast with the rest of the population which is almost exclusively dolichocephalic’.

What complete and utter nonsense. I had the impression that people in the UK were more intelligent than this.
