Most of the Yamnaya people were Proto-Europids which is a Cromagnoid with dark hair and dark eyes which was something like a mediterranean
type with wide face and minor mongoloid traits. This type is almost extinct today. Most of the modern Europeans look like the pre-indo-european people of old Europe. I think it's possible that the so-called Alpine type could be a more recent reduced "derivate" from the original because this type matches geographically to the expansion of the Indo-Europeans in Europe and also matches pigmentation but this type exist in none-european people so there could be different sources of this phenotype.
That Proto-Europoid type is very interessting but also very confuse, can you have modern exemple of what anthropologists considers like Proto-Europoid Type ? What is the difference between Proto-Europoid in features with Cro-Magnoid in a classical sens ?
