It is very easy to tell an Armenoid or Dinaric from a Baltid type, but still there is considerable overlap between Russians and Caucasus people.

Look, there is a "considerable overlap" between all ethinicites, as we are human race! YOU can't see the difference between people from Caucasus and Russians only if you are blind. People from Caucasus may look like Italians or Spaniards, but it is still very easy to see the difference.
