| | Isaac Taylor (canon) - Definition, explanation |
 | | In 1890, Taylor published Origin of the Aryans, in which he proposed the “round-head theory,” in which he argued that European Russia was the homeland of all of the Indo-European peoples, in opposition to the assertion of Max Müller, who had argued for Central Asia. |
 | | Taylor believed that the Celts (tall stature, round heads), a branch of the ancient Finns, were the only true Aryans who had “Aryanized” the Iberians (short stature, long heads), the Scandinavians (tall stature, long heads), and the Ligurians (short stature, round heads). |
 | | In regards to the origin of the Basques, Taylor believed that they were direct descendants of the Etruscans. |
