THE
RACES OF EUROPE
curious
that the Portuguese, like the Andalusians, are broader jawed than
most Mediterraneans, and comparable in this respect to some Berbers.
The
apparent homogeneity of the Portuguese, in a racial sense, masks the
presence of several brunet Mediterranean strains, as Portuguese
anthropologists are well aware. One may distinguish tall Atlanto-
Mediterraneans, particularly in the southern provinces, as well as
the small, extremely long-headed type found in Sao Pedro Magodouro.
The coarser mesocephalic strain, which dates back to Muge, may also
be identified.
Non-Mediterranean
elements in the Portuguese population are rare and of little
importance. A few Nordics are scattered throughout but are
particularly concentrated in the north. Traces of Dinaric blood, as
we have already seen, may likewise be found on the northern coast.
Negroid blood, introduced into Portugal through the medium of freed
slaves, has largely been absorbed. The liberated negroes settled
mostly in the cities, where negroes from the Portuguese colonies are
still to be seen in some numbers. The liberality of the Portuguese
social attitude toward persons of different race has prevented the
retention, as in Arabia and the United States, of a stigmatized
negroid class. On the whole, the absorption of negroes by the
Portuguese has had no appreciable effect on the racial position of
the country. Portugal remains, as it has been since the days of the
Muge shell-fish eaters, classic Mediterranean territory.
A
study of the Mediterranean racial area in southwestern Europe would
not be complete without the inclusion of the Balearics, Corsica, and
Sardinia. The Balearic Islands contain a population taller than that
in most of Spain, but equally dolichocephalic; the settlement of
megalith- building Atlanto-Mediterraneans on these small islands in
late Neolithic and early Metal Age times has left a permanent
imprint on the population.127
The tall, long-faced type of Spaniard so frequently seen in the
Guardia Civil is common here. Corsica and Sardinia, although equally
popular with the megalith-builders, are larger islands and are
extremely rugged topographically, so that a more numerous
pre-Megalithic Mediterranean element was enabled to survive,
and to reemerge as the present population.
Corsica
is extremely mountainous, and the mountains rise directly out of the
water. The Corsicans of the interior part of the island have pre-

a culture of early Mediterranean origin with little change; their
houses, their agriculture, their endogamous marriage system, their
predilection for the blood feud, and their insistence upon personal
freedom relate them ethnologically to the mountain Berber groups of
North Africa. In historic times Corsica has belonged to many
nations, from the Phoenicians to the French, but until the present
her allegiance has been in most cases nominal, and throughout many
changes of masters, the islanders have preserved their own
character. The only actual immigration of outsiders recorded in
recent times is that of 730 Greeks from the Peloponnesus who settled
in the town of Carg&se, on the west coast of the island, in
1676. The descendants of these Greeks still preserve their ethnic
identity, and remain unabsorbed.
Anthropometric
studies of living Corsicans 128
place them in approximately the same racial position as the
Portuguese. ’ The stature mean for the island is about 163 cm.,
the cephalic index, 76.6. Light or light- mixed eyes are probably
under 20 per cent, while the commonest iris color is dark brown, or
black. The hair color is black or dark brown, more frequently the
latter; shades ranging from medium brown to blond include 15 per
cent of the whole.
In
general, the coastal population, particularly in the northern and
western parts of the island and in the towns, is taller and less
long-headed than that of the more isolated interior villages. The
coastal people, from Bastia to Ajaccio, have a mean cephalic index
of 77; 76 is the mean for the southern part of the island, and 75
for the interior. The Greeks of Carg&se have a mean of 77.8. In
Bocognagno, an isolated mountain section, 38 per cent of the
recruits summoned for military service were rejected on the grounds
of being shorter than 154 cm.
There
is one exception to this rule that the inhabitants of the kernel of
the island are the shortest, longest-headed, and darkest, however—
that is in the inaccessible plateau region of Niolo, in the very
center of the island, where a tall, long-headed, and prevailingly
blond group of people has been found. They are apparently Nordics,
not unlike Riffians in appearance, and are a closely inbred local
group. Whether they represent the survival of an ancient blond
racial stratum in the Mediterranean area, or are the
descendants of some early refugees to this mountain

THE
RACES OF EUROPE
fastness,
cannot be determined without a careful, modern survey of Corsica. In
view of present evidence it appears that the Corsicans, like the
North Africans, Spaniards, and Portuguese, are a blend of different
Mediterranean strains, and that here, as in the more marginal Berber
groups and in Portugal, a small, very long-headed Mediterranean type
is both old and numerous, while later, taller, Atlanto-Mediterranean
forms are also present. The Nordic problem is a local puzzle which
awaits solution.
Culturally
and historically, Sardinia resembles Corsica closely. The same
intense Megalithic activity, followed by Greek and Carthaginian
influences, and later by Roman rule, mark early Sardinian history.
In later times the Saracens obtained possession of the island, but
were expelled shortly afterward. Spain ruled Sardinia from roughly
1300 to 1700 a.d.,
and
Spanish cultural influence is to be seen in most of the cities. In
Sassari a dialect is still spoken which includes Spanish elements.
In 1718 a.d.,
when
Sardinia was given to the princes of Piedmont in exchange for
Sicily, the townsfolk of Sassari were considered Spanish, and the
country folk pure Sardinian. The language of the Sardinians, like
that of Corsica, is a form of Italian, but pre-Italic languages were
spoken on the island as late as the time of the Roman empire. These
may have dated back to the period when the Shardana appeared as one
of the western sea people attacking Egypt in Middle Kingdom times.
Anthropometrically,
the Sardinians are a little better known than the Corsicans.129
They are, on the whole, a little shorter than the inhabitants of the
more northernly island, with a stature mean of 162 cm., while nearly
identical in head form (76.5).130
The hair color is designated as black in over half of the Sardinian
groups measured, while hair blondism attains the ratio of but 1 per
cent. Mixed or light eyes run to about 15 per cent. As in Corsica,
many irises are deep brown or black.
Measurements
and indices of the head and face related the Sardinians to the
smaller Berber groups and to the Portuguese,131
and this resemblance is confirmed by the study of modern Sardinian
crania, which show that the Sardinians are low-vaulted
dolichocephals and mesocephals, with short faces and skeletally
mesorrhine noses. Among Sardinian crania

Livi’s
cephalic index mean for Sardinia, 77.5, is apparently one unit too
high. This may be explained by his use of a craniometric frame,
instead of calipers. See Duck- Worth, W. L. H., ZFMA, vol. 13,
1910-11.
