Those are crowds of High School Graduates (18-years olds). They are from interior of Dalmatia, on the border with Herzegovina. Click on images for better resolution.

Around 2/3's West Balkans with 1/3 looking Central European.

Mostly Dinarids, Alpines, some Pontids, some Carpathids. Can't see any that don't pass at least in Transylvania. Wouldn't call Bulgarian apart from some women I guess.

Mostly dinarids ? Where do you see flat occiputs ? I don't.
I have a feeling people automatically write dinarid just because they are from dinaric alps.

I don't see flattish heads among youth on this photos, majority is round skulled.

Punctuation error. I meant Alpines and Dinarids. You might be right and there can be more Pontids/N. Pontids. Pictures from a distance without any proper person in focus are hard to check properly for me.

Definition of dinarid needs to be changed. Because there is def. this tall, lanky, narrow-faced type of various pigmentation that dominates here, but it is not super brachy at all like books say.
I dare to say even among young Albanians you won't find this ''typically dinarid'' flat back of the head anymore, it doesn't exist as dominantly it seems.

My theory is that it was never a phenotypical trait but rather result of cradling practice that is now abandoned.
Father of mine has this extremely flattened skull of the past and I am hyper dolicho. I look like him.

So I don't think it is racial thing.

You might be right about it imo I've also noticed among Romanians that there are far more doli or meso people and barely any brachys apart from the older pop.

Mainly Dinarids and Norics, with some (north) Pontids, Dinaro Meds and Alpines/Gorids

Not sure where they can be placed exactly, but I'll take a hunch and say the ex Yugoslav states (duh), Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary perhaps and maybe Poland as well.

A lot more Pontids than expected. There's also Dinarids but they seem to be Dinarid+Pontid or Med, although there are a couple of pure Dinarids. Also a few Western types.

They can be from Romania even in groups with no problem.
Theres less dinarids because Croatia's youth, same as Romania's and most of Europe is becoming more gracile and less dimorphic, hence less pronounced features and closer to the female gender.
Compare with Selly and Gami
Can Gami(the blonde guy) pass in Croatia? has typical new generation romanian blonde guy look.Both Gami and Selly are representative for new generation romainans, to me they look about the same except different pigmentation, some romanian females look more manly than them.

Yes, they pass easily.
I noticed newer generations look less dimorphic than before.

But I think now both boys and girls look more soft or feminine. In the past dinaric alps men very were manly, but many dinaric pronounced girls didn't look very feminine either.
Now it's different.

Jana
10-12-2019, 01:42 PM
Anyway, I don't like overly manly looking men. I don't like feminine looking either obviously, but not super manly. I prefer them somewhere in the middle.
It's kinda cool that younger people look closer to each other :D

Now it's different.

Also, it seems that this does not affect the girls, actually it benefits them, cause they get more alpine features, rather than something like dinarid.

You will find very few real flat occiput today.
As in Coon (Mountain of Giants) the percentage of real flat occiputs on the skull were greatly increased by an head binding practice in infancy.

Even when you see a flat occiput it might be still rounded but that looks flat because of the neck muscles and most of all of head shortness.

The “Dinaric” type is carachterised by the shortness of the back of the head, which we can call Planoccipital for conviene but is misleading and most often isn’t.
- in lateral position the distance between -rear of the head and ear hole is shorter than the distance between ear hole and browridges. Here a good, exaggerates example
https://www.theapricity.com/snpa/bilder/troe395.jpg
So most “Dinaric” types are curvoccipital but a high head (conical as in Armenoids) and neck muscles as well as head shortness give this flat occiput impression.
- if a Dinaric instead has a long protruding arrow like back of the head , then it isn’t a Dinaric.

Both of my parents were binded as children and have flat occiputs, while my brother is meso and I am extremely dolicho (neither of us were binded). I asked my mother about this a while ago and she said this practice was common until like the 80's/early 90's.

Here in the US, we got the opposite advice. We were told to put our infants in the crib face up, and that this was shown to prevent SIDS. However, neither of my colicky children would sleep on their backs, so we caved and they mostly slept on their fronts.

So far, and they are young children still, my son has occiput projection. But my daughter is indeed plano-occipital. Same sleeping habits, different skull shape.

No they don't, stop spreading nonsense. In this region I2-dinaric reaches absolutely maximum frequencies.
Croats never mixed with Albanians unlike Serbs, because unlike Serbs we don't border them.

Only exception are Arbanasi in Zadar.

Montenegrin and southern Serbs are much closer to Albanians ethnically and genetically, because some of them have actual Albanian origin.
Also Bosnian Serbs have much more of typical Albanian haplogroups compared to Croats.

It depends on the definition, what I saw: we consider many Sardinians as "gracile-med" but I of what I saw Sardinians (truly native, with genealogy over several generations): they have robust features and the most "graciles" do not look like Arabs.

I deduce that this "gracile-med" type is an invention that does not really exist and that does not really have a clear and precise definition: what are the measurements? We do not really know, since no one has given so far (I've never seen, anyway, I'm talking about all measurements, approximate or not).

That’s why it would be better to use Coon’s and Deniker’s taxonomy:
“Small Mediterranean” or “Ibero Insular”.

“Gracile” is misleading and regards mainly the skull and bone morphology.

Around 2/3's West Balkans with 1/3 looking Central European.

Mostly Dinarids, Alpines, some Pontids, some Carpathids. Can't see any that don't pass at least in Transylvania. Wouldn't call Bulgarian apart from some women I guess.

Women tend to have broader faces than the men, I noticed

They look considerably more Med than the ones you posted in the previous thread(which looked shorter and more Alpinid, Dinarid and CM).

Mainly Atlanto-Meds, Alpine-Meds, Dinaro-Meds, Atlantids, Pontids;
Plus few Gracile-Meds, Dinaro-Pontids, East-Meds and North-Pontids.

Nick for Herzegovinian Croatians is Škutori, that came from Scutari (Shkoder). There is full Croatian town Grude in W. Herzegovina, name Grude came from Albanian tribe Gruda from N. Albania.

Don't spread stupid theories as facts. Name Grude was attested a century before this alleged Albanian settlers, in 1575, and God knows for how long it existed before that with far more realistic explanation about its etymology. Croats called Serbs Grks, Vlachs as in Aromanians, Bulgarians and that doesn't make you all that. It is very much obvious that more than half of your posts including Serbs are a mix of historical facts and your own theories which you spread as facts. You can be forgiven for being stupid which you undoubtedly are, but not for being stupid and obnoxious at the same time. You wrote that for like 100 times and you seem to be on a standby just waiting for a chance when to write that.


what's the origin of the word Škutor in your opinion?

There is no consensus and there is no ultimate specific use of it. Based on records people from the very place this thread is about called islanders Škutori (for being cheap). Škrt mean cheap. People from Western Herzegovina called people from Imotski Škutori because they used specific type of shields they called Škut (Škutor is a Latin word for shield). People from Western Herzegovina might have been called Škutors for being on the border between the Venetian and Ottoman empire etc. It is and was just a stupid word and on Buzznian forums low IQ people people are making an elephant out of a fly, something what Pribislav does here.

Looking at it again they really have nothing in common with Albanians and look Croatian as hell. Albo members must have been trolling.


They look considerably more Med than the ones you posted in the previous thread(which looked shorter and more Alpinid, Dinarid and CM).

Mainly Atlanto-Meds, Alpine-Meds, Dinaro-Meds, Atlantids, Pontids;
Plus few Gracile-Meds, Dinaro-Pontids, East-Meds and North-Pontids.

Actually I see quite many northern types as well.

Atlantid/Pontid/North Pontid, with some Alpine and Dinarid influence (obviously this is not the predominant phenotype in the groups). Pass best in Croatia and immediate surrounding countries (Serbia, Bosnia), as well as individually in places ranging from Slovenia to perhaps Germany (as a group, they don't pass in Germany though)

Generally, they pass ok here, mainly in Western Serbia. The biggest difference is that there are barely any Pontids among them, mainly people with Dinarid/Norid features (but with long instead of flat skulls) and Alpines.

Dinaric-Gorid-Carpatid mix is very common in these pics, also Noric and Pontid.
