UP is used in many different ways. There is certainly no "UP race". Coon's distinction between UPs and "Mediterraneans" is too simplistic. Its main problems are that it thought that the narrow-faced long-headed forms had a common origin, while the broad-faced robust ones had a different origin. We know now that the former evolved from the latter in some cases. So the distinctions aren't that clear.
I personally use "UP Europeans" only to describe the pre-agricultural Europeans, with the caveat that these were genetically and anthropologically substructured. In the Balkano-Danubian area there was a fully Mediterranean element even in UP times, which was strongly differentiated from the broad-faced human forms which persisted in NW and E. Europe far longer.

Europe far longer. You're right. At 'Lepenski Vir'(oldest Mesolithic site in Europe) near the Danube in Serbia,skeletal remains were found belonging to both UP and Neolithic peoples. www.hominids.com/donsmaps/lepenski.html

This reminds me of Medieval monks baptising pork as fish so that they could eat it without breaking their fast!

Also, I was surprised that Greek men are in such high demand, especially by non-Greek women. They seem to be perceived as exotic. Dienekes, why are non-Greek women so crazy for Greek men? LOL. And why were you surprised may I ask? I am a Greek married to a non-Greek and to be quite honest I have no idea. I know a lot of British women (and a few central European) married to Greek men. They admit to finding Greeks sexually attractive but apart from that they don't even seem to like Greeks in general that much. When you ask them why, they always give their mother in-law as an example of disagreeable Greek. Of course I would be risking my personal safety if i had dared suggest their Greek half was not the salt of the earth. ;D

What's so great about her, anyway? Guess it's a guy thing. "It's not surprising. European "Upper Paleolithics" are genetically related to Amerindians. In fact genealogically speaking the male component in "Upper Paleolithics" (haplogroup R) is more closely related to the male component in Amerindians (Q) and certain Mongoloids (O) than to that of other Caucasoids " Haha, how cool is that! ;D
