The Hungarian people have 3 points of origin: 1. The people prior to
the 894-895 AD conquering Magyar tribes such as Scythians, Sarmatians,
Huns and Avars. 2. The main component the honfoglals Magyars who
numbered 500,000 enlarged by turkic people . 3. The Jsz,
Pechenegs,Kumans, turkic Bulgars, Saxons, Slovaks, Swabians, Serbians.
..In Hungary the first authentic graves of 895-1000 AD Magyars were found...
(An artist's reconstruction and skull of a Honfoglals Magyar man)
..In 1834 in Kecskemt 700 "authentic" Sarmatian skeletons were unearthed...
..The Honfoglals Magyar men were on average 1.69m tall, the women were
1.58m. The average age of mortality for adults was 34 years. 60% of the
skeletons were found to be under 16 years old..
The Hungarians are noted for the unique phenomenon of "Eastern
vitalization" because the Hungarians are partly of the Kuman,turkic
Bulgar, Jsz, Pecheneg origin and this eastern people supplied a
population surge. The Hungarians' representitive subracial types of the
Honfoglals past and even today are the following:
1. Turni or turanid type. (Men 165-167 cm, women small & a little
squattish. The broad cheek, the zygomatics protruding, the nose bridge
flat, the eye socket small, the eyes a little wide spaced with a
slanted look, the eyes blackish. Of the young children occurs
"mongoloid fold." The mouth is small, the head is brachycephalic. The
occiput weakly raised. Hair strands are thick, coarse, flat and hair is
full. The hair is blackish-dark brown in color. The type is aboriginal
to Eastern Turkistan (The heart of Asia). The type belongs to the West
of the Carpathian Basin (North and South) not from elsewhere.
Anthropologist Lajos Bartucz determined the occurance place of the
later Magyar version of this type, the Alfldi (Homo pannonicus) is
called the "Turkic Hungarian type." The occurance of this type
nationally is 30-35%. Anthropologist Lajos Bartucz wrote: "the Alfldi
type you can say most correctly is the "Magyar type", since its
frequency is the most numerous and is exactly the same type going back
to the Honfoglals."

2. Pamiri (pamiro-ferghana, Central Asian, a fluid type or Anatolian)
type found in Pamir country, Tien-san, the Altai, Central Asia together
with the Iranic lands. The racial type belongs to Kazakh inner-Asiatic
and among the population of Carpathian Basin the origin is with Huns,
Avars and partially with rpd's Magyars. The Hungarians of the Alfld
(Plains) are typically of this type, so-called "scraggy-faced
peasants." Of the Carpathian Basin residents 10-15% are towards this
type. The stature is larger than the previous type, the men are 170cm
and over. The build is usually thin and lanky, the head relatively
small. The occiput is usually flat, the face long, the nose projects
considerably from the face as a rule is straight. The zygomatics are
robustly built, the complexion color is dark. The hair is greasy, rough
to the touch, individual strands are thin and abundant.
3. Taurid ("Caucausian") type originates partially from the Turk,
partially the Scythian, Samartian- and Jsz people; the Magyars and
Huns from then on the Avar royals and via the early Honfoglals Magyars
5-8% frequency is found, but among the Lesser Kumanians and around the
Baja area 14% is present. The type is originated from Near Asia, the
Caucasus, the old Mesopotamia and Persia, also the Iranic world. The
porportions of the body are medium, the men's average height is 160-166
cm, but also substantially taller. The head is bracycephalic and large,
the forehead of middle width, the occiput small and to a degree flat,
the face of medium length, the zyomatics laterally a little protruding,
downwards narrower, the nose is of medim thickness, large, convex and
projects from the face strongly. The nasal root and nose bridge of
medium width, the nasal tip is mostly curved, the eyes are small
relatively, the large sized ears frequently protruding. The eye and
hair color is dark brown - black, the skin swarthy brown, the hair
strands are coarse, straight, notched, or a little crispy, the bodyhair
strongly developed, the beard and the eyebrows abundant.
4. East Baltic or East European type is thereof Eastern European
aboriginal origin, which the old Magyars, the Hungarians, then the
Bulgars, the Kumanians and the Jsz also brought. While it is not
typical of the ancient Hungarians, the Ledvedian and legendary home
territory the people of the folks, it originated by either through
truly mixing or was original to the Magyar folk. Gyula Benczur
portrayed the type "of the Magyars" and said these professionally
inaccurate cliches: "neither blond, nor brown, the pale, dull-skinned
Hungarian racial type." For that reason the "blunt" East-Baltic element
was strongly mixed from the East. The build is squattish ("compact"),
the men's average height historically was 163-165 cm, though often
taller. The head of medium length, the face of medium width, oily but
not homely laterally protruding zygomatics. The eyes on the face look
small, but the eyesockets are comparatively in the large range. The
skin complexion is transparent; the eyes greyish-blue
("water-colored"), the hair ash-blond,among children white-blond, the
hair is notched stiff, coarse strands. The face in old age becomes
wrinkled. Occurances of 8-10% are defined, but in Palcfld due to the
Slavs' apparent mixture with them they have attained the 35% frequency.
The East Baltic is a specific type or a variation of the Pontic type.

5. Uralic or Ugor type representative of the Finno-Ugrian people; the
ancient origin is the area between the Ural and the Sayan mountians. As
Hungarian primary sources occuring only of the 10th Century may
substantiate, frequency anciently and now is 0,6%, which is endorsement
that the Magyars likely via Finno-Ugrian culture formed territories,
but ethnically not playing a part, and were formed by the native
population; the search for the ancient Magyar homeland between the
Finno-Ugrian folk is unscientific. Of the Hungarians there is a seldom
frequency of "mongoloid" elements in attendance of the representative
type.
The types above were "brought from the east" and the Carpathian Basin
carries types found absolutely "throughout Europe": racially the
cromagnonid, the Mediterranean, the Nordic, the Alpine, the Borreby,
etc. types are all represented.
