Racial Classification
Czekanowski classified Europe into four pure races. The four pure races were the Nordic, Ibero-Insular, Lapponoid and Armenoid. The Lapponoid included the central and eastern Europeans along Europe longitudely as well as the Sami people of Northern Europe.
Czekanowski classified six subraces in Europe which were mixed types of the pure races. The six mixed racial subraces were: the Northwestern (Nordic and Ibero-Insular), the Subnordic (Nordic and Lapponoid), Alpine (Lapponoid and Armenoid), the Littoral (Ibero-Insular and Armenoid), Pile Dwelling (Ibero-Insular and Lapponoid) and the Dinaric (Nordic and Armenoid). The Pile Dwelling subrace lived around the Swiss lakes.
