The Alföldi facial type / Der Alföld Typus

Some examples for the so-called Alföldi type from Hungary, taken from the works of Hungarian anthropologist István Kiszely. The Alföld Typus is a Turanid (mixture of Europoid with Mongoloid) subtype peculiar to Hungary. It is more Europoid than Mongoloid though, and should rather be called Mongoloid-influenced. Lajos Bartucz concluded: “The variation of the Turanid type bound to the soil of our homeland and most certainly developed here is what I had previously referred to as ’Caucasian Mongolid’, and which I have named ’Alföldi race’ (Homo pannonicus) as of late, as its most typical representatives are found on the great Hungarian Plain and Transdanubia. At the same time, this is the racial type which fits the honouring description of the ’Magyar type’, as it is nowhere else in the world to be found in this form“. The so-called ’Sudetisch type’ from Poland, Czechia and Slovakia seems to be related to the Alföld Typus in head and face features. Watch my other video (see link below) about the “Sudeten Typus“ for examples of this facial type. For more Hungarians of Turanid type, watch my Playlist called “Turanian types in Hungary and Turkey“.
