The Alpish Race

Arabs 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’.

EGYPT is a southern country and its population was originally narrow-headed, Mediterranean White and Black. The creators of Egyptian civilisation were predominantly Alpish brachycephals, belonging to a foreign race that subjugated the dolichocephals. Egypt is one of many lands where broadheads replaced and subjugated the narrowheads.

‘Anthropological research may some day shed much-needed light on what was perhaps the most important of the migrations by establishing the identity of the so-called ‘Armenoids’ or ‘Dynastic Race’, whose presence in Egypt at the beginning of the dynastic period, although discounted by many authorities in the past, has been further attested by recent excavations. Physically these people differed unmistakably from the predynastic Egyptians: whereas the latter were unusually small in stature and possessed long and narrow skulls (about 132 mm. in breadth), the newcomers were more massively built and their skulls (about 139 mm. in width) were appreciably broader than those of their predecessors.’

USUALLY 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.’

THE overlord type at the top of the racial hierarchy in many human societies was Alpish.

‘According to Professor Gurney, “Examination of the skulls which have been found on several sites in Anatolia shows that in the third millennia BC the population were preponderantly long-headed or doliocephalic [Mediterranean] with only a small admixture of brachycephalic [Alpine] types. In the second millennium the proportion of brachycephalic skulls increases to about 50%.”

It was these brachycephalic or Alpine people who eventually came to be known as the ruling class of the Hittite Empire.’
