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. |

Irano-Afghans or ] in anthropological terms, are ] most common and the principal element in ] and ] north-west ] and ]. 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 mesocephalic, or intermediate, below 75 is considered dolicocephalic or long. |

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. |

Nordics are found in majority in Iran and Afghanistan where the dolichocephalic strains are numerically predominant. Its type is associated with the ancient ] movement via ]/], Nordics are not to be confused with "Nordish" or "Nordics" of northern/central Europe, i.e collection of different subtypes of northern/central Europe and Scandinavia where the ], ] and snubnosed skulls of ], ], ] and ] types are predominant and the major population element. |

Nordic skeletal system types (i.e Irano-afghan/corded) are by far globally numerically inferior to the more primitive and widely distributed non Nordic types <ref>Hooton, Earnest. Up from the Ape. New York: Macmillan Co., 1931 (rev. ed. 1946)</ref>. Nordic skeletal association can also be found among ancient ruling ] pharaos. |

Modern ] cites that speakers of ] were involved in a migratory path with ] as well as ] as destination, rather than a source. Speakers of Indo-European languages, migrated from ] to northwestern India at around 2000 B.C and brought an early form of ].. |

The routes of this great migration have set Iran as the center and set out on migration in any direction where Nordic peoples spread its language and culture. |
