Turkmen, pass in anatolia, balkans, even in the Greece and as pecheneg/karamanlis stock

Reminds me of some types who look berid so i think he can passed from iberia to tajikistan; My guess is that his phenotype was widespread in ancient Proto-IndoEuropeans.

why do you say he's archaic? looks very typical for men of his age in the Balkans, both Mediterranean region (Greece/Albania) and inland (Romania, for example). robust, indeed, compared to newer generations men, maybe archaic in that sense.

The brow looks heavy, his facial features look wide wide.

probably we're used to box heads on here. but his generation men are the same on here, only the youth is not. my father-in-law is even more robust than him (body as well), like a brunet Borreby xD shoulder width of 50-60-70 year old men is sometimes almost one and a half the width of men under 45. the East passed from rural to urban just very recently and it shows, the difference in body type from father to son to grandson is abrupt. facial/skull robustness as well.

ontopic: the Tajik man (like many of his co-nationals) passes in Romania and Bulgaria for sure, I'd say Greece and Albania as well, and would probably be called a robust Alpine or Balkan CM/Balkan "Borreby"


offtopic: Romania national football team, 30 years apart, to illustrate what I was saying above about abrupt changes and how newer generations are increasingly gracile:

The modern players look leaner because of stricter Wenger era dieting that has influenced football but they still look the same ethnically, the ones in the old photo look mainly Med influenced or alpine and the goalkeeper looks Nordish-German.

well no one said they don't look the same ethnically, I only referred to robustness, and Wenger is irrelevant: on the street you can see the same, older men are robust, younger men are gracile, even father and son, sometimes father is double, and I don't mean fat, but the bone structure, muscular mass and body width.

Interesting, i dont notice that in Britain, i suppose people get robust as they get older

Britain is urban for two centuries, we only became urban very recently and still over 50% of the country lives in the countryside. however even in the countryside they don't work the field and the woods as they used to. therefore men in past rural generations were building a very robust body since they were young, from domestic work, which is not the case now, for some three decades at least, generalized. that makes for a totally different body frame in youth versus their dads and granddads. those important years for body development are now spent on a chair on the phone with no muscle and bone activity. it has an impact. in the west youth is also taking up sports as leisure, which helps them develop, but in the east only professional sportsmen are doing sports
