See Mediterranean_race#Later_20th_century about "Atlanto-Mediterranean".

Cornwall, which is the darkest county in England and an ancient Keltic linguistic stronghold, contains, like Wales, strong vestiges of a pre-Keltic population. That this is not a short Mediterranean variety, on the whole, is shown by the fact that the stature of Cornwall is relatively tall, and the mean cephalic index of the duchy not particularly low. A large-bodied, muscular type, with a head which is frequently brachycephalic, is common here, and must be attributed to the Bronze Age invasions. It has been claimed, without statistical evidence,34 that there is a special racial type among the fishermen and sailors who live in the seaports of Cornwall, Devonshire, Somerset, and South Wales, but especially in Cornwall. Besides having medium or tall stature, and a tendency to brachycephaly, they are said to be heavy-bodied, lateral in build, thick-necked, with features of a somewhat Armenoid cast, dark, curly hair, thick eyebrows, and eyes which are frequently brown.

This type is recognized in local Keltic tradition, and according to one legend, is said to have been brought from Troy. It may also be associated with the strong local belief that the Cornish are descended from Phoenicians. That there is such a type cannot be proved without metrical evidence, but it will be recognized by most persons familiar with this part of England. It can also be found in Massachusetts among old Cape Cod families whose ancestors came from Cornwall and Devon.

You might as well read up on British traditional history, before Enlightenment rationalists decided they would "do away with superstition", such as the native story of the Britons. At the same time as the Enlightenment establishment moved into Britain, they began romanticising the Anglo-Saxons and thus by extension, the prototype of Nordicism which expressed itself through anti-Celtic stereotypes, even as the classification system was being orchestrated by this very upper class, the same which only accepted the Germanic (e.g. Protestant) category of English, despite contending POVs between either a Romance or Scandinavian (not as vivid as Germania just yet) grouping. It's old news. 24.255.11.149 (talk) 00:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
