Paleo-Europeans

In physical anthropology and scientific racism, Paleo-European is a term for the supposedly native populations of Europe descended directly from Cro-Magnon.

There was a concept of a "Paleo-European race" (палеоевропеоидная раса) in Soviet anthropology, considered a subtype of the Europid race (Европеоидная раса).^[1] The type was also called "Proto-European" (протоевропейский), "Nordic" (северная раса, североевропеоидный тип) or "Cro-Magnid" (кроманьидный тип).^[2] The type was especially associated with the Chalcolithic to Bronze Age Afanasevo, the Andronovo and the Yamna cultures associated with early Indo-Iranians.
