| The term '''Irano-Afghan''' is a term used in ] for a description of Nordics, based upon shared physical characteristics through geographic adaptation. More modern terms include Nordic Iranian and Irano-Nordid. Numerous studies supports the formation of the type in the ] and includes ], ] and ], furthermore ], ], ], ] and ] studies, supports the theory. | |||

It is also a major factor in ] and ] and comprises parts of the population of ], ] (West), ], ], ] north ] and ], as a result of migration of Irano-Afghans. Together with ] and ] they make up the eastern branch of the Mediterranean group. ] they are closer to Corded-Nordics, and the type traditionally defined as “Nordic” in Physical Anthropology. Modern Nordics are typically mesocephalic, but their ancestors were dolichocephalic. The cephalic index was defined by ] professor of ] ] and first used in ]. A cephalic index of 80 or more is called brachycephalic, or broad, a measurement between 75 and 80 is ], or intermediate, below 75 is considered ] or long. Map of cephalic index | |||

| The ] type encountered in Europe is an effect of recombination of original plateau types, and further the result of crosses between the original dolicocephalic Iranian Nordics, and brachycephals with short, broad faces. A Mongoloid admixture produces this ], common in Europe after waves of ] migration who were the descendants Xiongnu, a confederation of nomadic tribes and the northern neighbours of ]. The Huns in turn are the result much earlier intermixture between Iranians and ] in ]. The Migrating Nordics to Europe were ], and consisted of ] and ] classes who linguistically and culturally replaced and subjugated the earlier ] culture, languages and peoples of "]". | |||
| In Nordic countries cordeds compromise 12% - 18% of the population. The Cordeds are metrically very similar to the Elmenteita from East Africa - the two groups could be combined without loss of homogeneity. In ], they may be favorably compared with the three dynastic skulls from Ur. ] also related Irano-Afghans to the old ] of Europe. | |||
| In later works Coon proposed a Nordic (i.e Corded) origin through depigmentation in the Eurasiatic grasslands, having arrived there from ] at around –5000. Genetic research explains the depigmentationphenomonen as being related to foodshortages and especially the lack of vitamin D obtained through seafood and sunlight in which northern European latitudes lack thereof. Lighter Skin, hair, and eye color is due to a low concentration in pigmentation, thus allowing more sunlight that triggers the production of ]. The ] gene is related to this. | |||
| Sufficient intake of these elements thus also alows for repigmentation over time, with an estimated timespan of at least 2500 years.<ref>Jablonski, Nina. Pennsylvania state University USA</ref> | |||
| Pigmentation however, does not constitute an anthropological validity as "race" is measured through skeletal association. | |||
