[tied] Re: The indo european "race"

Are you sure it's possible to recognize how dark the skin-hair-eyes
can be just by looking at features in a sculpted image?
Maybe I'm a bad physiognomist and all, (well, actually I'm not, nor a
linguist nor an anthropologist, just interested on the theme) but I
can think of a couple or three classical images of Caesar and the
features on his face can belong just as well to an alpine or even
nordic type as to a mediterranean type.
Could you tell me what features give away Caesar's mediterranean type
and why?
