New and Exciting: The Racial Analysis Calculator

AWAR said:

As it says in the introduction, the 'black or white' calc is far from being perfect. It doesn't take very many measurements into account, so don't take it personally

Also, if you have time, post your pics for classification.
Perhaps there's some clue as to why the BW calc
went wrong. Perhaps your head is long and your head-height low...etc.

hey..thanks for the explanation...I must admit I was initially shocked but I do realize that the calculator doesn't take hair style, lip size, eyebrows, etc. Also, using a ruler proved difficult as I would get different results each time...being a minor I think I might need time to grow.....as for the pics...maybe later, I just joined today so I'm a bit apprehensive


By the way, thank you for a great site, I'd like to thank you for refuting horrendous and offensive AFrocentrist/Nordicist claims of Ancient Egyptians. I'm staunchly proud of my Mediterranean heritage (we created the modern world) so seeing a site administered by Mediterraneans and standing up for the Mediterranean people is re-assuring.

My results:

Your cephalic index is: 76.8 (mesocephalic)
Your height/length index is: 63.1 (hypsicephalic)
Your height/breadth index is: 82.2 (metriocephalic)
Your facial index is: 92.6 (leptoprosopic)
Your upper facial index is: 54.8 (mesene)
Your nasal index is: 63.6 (leptorrhine)
Your estimated endocranial volume is: 1419 cc (euencephalic)
Your estimated brain weight is: 1316 gr

Proto-Europoid: 22 62 -0.42
Mediterranoid: 7 8 0.4
Alpinoid: 10 16 -0.29
Irano-Nordoid: 4 4 0.58
Dinaroid: 12 20 -0.39

Your classification is Irano-Nordoid (using Euclidean distance), Irano-Nordoid (using Mahalanobis distance), and Irano-Nordoid (using Cosine similarity).

Here are my measurements (I think they're fairly accurate, but not 100%)

Head Length: 198mm
Head Breadth: 152mm
Head Height: 125mm
Min Frontal: 100mm
Bizygomatic: 135mm
Bigonial: 115mm
Total Face Ht: 125mm
Upper Face Ht: 74mm
Nasal Height: 55mm
Nasal Breadth: 35mm

According to this, I am metrically closest to the Irano-Nordoid type. What types does this include? Judging by the name [Irano-Nordoid], I'm guessing this includes types of the Iran/Afghanistan areas and the Nordid types (Keltid, Skandid). Are there anymore? Would the Atlanto-Med types be included here?

[Agrippa]

You have similar measurements to me, except your face being generally smaller, though of similar proportions.

Yes, Atlantid-Atlantomediterranid should be in the range too.
Mediterranid in this scheme is rather the small Gracilmediterranid IMO.

Yes, it would include those as well. There is a link to the description of the metric types in the results page of the calculator, and you can read more about the features of each type.

Irano-Nordoid here designates a geographical extent and is not the same as the so-called Nordic-Iranian type.

Here are mine:
Your cephalic index is: 78.1 (mesocephalic)
Your height/length index is: 66 (hypsicephalic)
Your height/breadth index is: 84.5 (metriocephalic)
Your facial index is: 84.7 (mesoprosopic)
Your upper facial index is: 49.1 (euryene)
Your nasal index is: 68.4 (leptorrhine)
Your estimated endocranial volume is: 1526 cc (aristencephalic)
Your estimated brain weight is: 1430 gr


Your classification is Proto-Europoid (using Euclidean distance), Proto-Europoid (using Mahalanobis distance), and Proto-Europoid (using Cosine similarity).


I got a warning that the minimum frontal and bigonial were too large. I measured twice and got the same result. Both are 132mm. What do you think?

From where did you get coon's plates (the pictures)?

[Evan1211]

They are on another race forum called Stirpes here: forum.stirpes.net/showthread.php?t=3674. I was bored one night so I saved all 45 plates to a folder in my computer.

[Igu]

I also saved it from another web-site, but I deleted them On the stirpes forum there are only 26 plates.

[Evan1211]

yeah! I just realized that as well, and then remembered that I also gathered them as well from a post here by Gareth that was lost later. Now I am confused at why I have them all.

[Evan1211]

I would gladly upload them all and post them, but my internet is dial-up and it would take forever to do.

Don't worry, they will show up one day on the net

[Evan1211]

I guess I was just lucky the one day I came across them. That would make a fun poll actually - Who has alll of the "Races of Europe" plates. ;D
