| 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. | |||

| 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.
