"Nordics", are strongly depigmented, orthognathic and leptomorphic dolicho-mesocephals of northern Europe. The general Nordid type probably evolved through the blending of gracilized northern European Cro-Magnoids (robust broad-faced Upper Paleolithic types) with various types, including tall leptomorphs associated with the Battle-Axe and Boat-Axe peoples, who entered Europe from the Eurasian steppes (carrying the Corded type with them), penetrating the various Nordid-formative territories in several consecutive waves. The resulting blends were subsequently stabilized, and the resultant types further specialized, to yield the present Nordid varieties. The ancestral Corded type (named after its association with the Corded Ware culture), with its high vault and long head, was skeletally "nordiform" (approaching a Nordid), or perhaps Mediterranid (of a larger, more robust variety). http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/index2.htm |

The members of this radiation are currently only identified in Europe and Anatolia; generally accepted hominins are only found in Africa from the late Miocene until the Pleistocene. Hominines may have originated in Eurasia during the late Miocene, or they may have dispersed into Eurasia from an unknown African ancestor. The diversity of hominines in Eurasia suggests an in situ origin but does not exclude a dispersal hypothesis. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-05210-5 |

They found that gene flow likely happened over a period of about 6000 years, and that positive and negative selection acted within about 100 generations on these introgressed segments. Surprisingly, the authors didn’t find evidence for a second pulse of introgression into East Eurasians despite the increased levels of introgression found in modern individuals. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq3010 |
