Bertil J. Lundman (1899–1993) was a Swedish anthropologist. He is best known for having created a racial classification system of Europeans in his book The Races And Peoples Of Europe (1977), and for having discovered that a substantial portion of the modern people of Iberia and the British Isles are of Phoenician descent.^{[citation needed]}
