Armenoid Armenians




FIG. 1 (3 views). An Armenian from Istanbul, facially a classic Armenoid type. Like many Armenians, he is dark-skinned.

FIG. 2 (3 views). An Armenian from Kharput. Note the extreme face length, a measurement which differentiates Armenians as a group from the shorter-faced Turks.

FIG. 3 (3 views). A tall, slender Armenian from Van; typical of the eastern Armenians, who are lighter-skinned, taller, and longer in all sagittal dimensions of the body, head and face than the western Armenians.

FIG.4 (3 views). A Van Armenian with pinkish-white skin color, blue eyes, and medium brown hair; although hyperbrachycephalic, this individual shows evidence of the Nordic element which gave the Armenians their Indo-European language.
