The types traditionally defined as “Nordic” in Physical Anthropology were understood by Carleton Coon understood to be either Corded or Danubian Mediterraneans.
Corded types are part of the Large Mediterranenan family and they are morphologically closer to Irano-Afghans than to Atlanto-Mediterraneans. The name was coined by Coon for this type´s skeletal association with the Corded-Ware culture.
In late works Coon proposed a Nordic origin through depigmentation in the Eurasiatic grasslands, having arrived there from Iran at around –5000.
