classify this stunning fellow (Slawomir Szmal)

[Norbert]

He's Polish, again atypical in my opinion.

[GeistFaust]

Dinarid + Balto-Balto-Cro-Magnon influences.

Dinarid + Balto-Balto-Cro-Magnon influences.

nothing more exotic?

[Mordid]

Rare looking, indeed

[Norbert]

rare looking, indeed

Yes, quite so.

[Seeker]

in this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Slawomir_Szmal,_Rhein-Neckar_L%C3%B6wen_-_Handball_Poland_%281%29.jpg/250px-Slawomir_Szmal,_Rhein-Neckar_L%C3%B6wen_-_Handball_Poland_%281%29.jpg) and especially this (http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h278/czarna_pantera/Goalkeepers/Slawomir%20Szmal/Szmal.jpg) photo, he looks asian influenced to me.

[Mordid]

...............

[Norbert]

In my opinion he doesn't look Asian as in Mongoloid influenced, he's rather Uralid or something along those lines. I'm not sure if this makes sense since Uralids are common in Eastern-Russia.

Maybe some Poles can help me out here. Is his look common in Poland? Also, can he pass for Serbian or some other Balkan?

He'd be very atypical in the Balkans (Cro,Bos,Serbia...) To be perfectly honest, he would look very odd, most of people that have similar look to his and that I know here are mentally handicapped and institutionalized and his appearance would be associated with mental disorders. I currently think of two persons that look very similar and both are institutionalized, they are allowed to go to town and walk among people and both got nickname "Imas Cigaru" and it means "You got a cigarette?" because they walk around and ask people that question all the time and they gesticulate with their two fingers, touching their lips, both are very skinny and tall and not related to each other, they look like brothers of this guy....So in his case for me Its like when you see people that look like they have Down syndrome but are actually perfectly normal, I just don't know with what disorder or syndrome I could associate him with...:eek::eek:

[Agrippa]

Dinarid for the most part.

[leisitox]

for me, he is dinaric+east baltid(eyes mainly)

[Norbert]

Nobody sees any Uralid admixture???

[safinator]

Gorid + Dinarid with something exotic in the eye region.

[hajduk]

There are far more atypical yugoslavs than this guy.

[Osweo]

Nothing TOO weird. Reminds me of former Banat German member 'Celti'.

[Norbert]

I am interested in seeing this individual, got a picture?

[Pallantides]

He got a large mouth and his nose looks weird.

[Agrippa]

He got a large mouth and his nose looks weird.

His whole face is totally disharmonious. But that might be rather an individual thing...

[Mordid]

He cannot be Dinarid. Real Dinarid have sharper nose and thinner lips.

[BanjaLuka]

There are far more atypical yugoslavs than this guy.

Rarely this stunningly atypical...whoever I showed this guy's picture here at home and also at work they either laughed or said "Mentol neki...", translated it means that they recognized him as someone who has mental disability...
Need I say that they felt embarrassed when I said he is a good sportsman, It felt so good to make them feel ashamed (?) :clap2::icon_cool:

That would be rather unethical :D

I am half-Polish he is surely Uralid or something farther eastern and southern in origin. I see nothing of a Polish facial structure. I just do not see this face relating to Polish taxonomy at all.

In fact, in my view there is something highly suggestive of a Jewish heritage to his eyes, nose and mouth in his facial taxonomy, maybe Sephardic or Ashkenazi?

I look forward to other opinions, GeistFaust and Artek hopefully will come in on this one.

[research_centre]

Yes, quite so.

It is not in my view so much rare, beyond the region in question of categorisation. It is simply a taxonomy that appears strongly non-Polish.

The profile alone tells IMHO that this man's taxonomy is based elsewhere.

[Ianus]

Dinarid+East Baltid

[Roy]

Dinarid + Baltid. Bizarre proportions but well inside Polish spectrum.

[Sharkeatpeople]

Dinarid with some Baltid

[Kalimtari]

a bit extremely proportioned face, but that's all

[tEhSaint]

Dinarid for the most part with CM/ÖstEuropid influences.

[Styrian Mujo]

Armenoid-Baltid maybe.

[Styrian Mujo]

Dinarid + Baltid. Bizarre proportions but well inside Polish spectrum.
I don't think he looks Polish at all not even Russian.

[Tooting Carmen]

Very Cro-magnid

[Styrian Mujo]

Dinarid + Baltid. Bizarre proportions but well inside Polish spectrum.
I don't think he looks Polish at all not even Russian.

[solaris]

from the attractive point of view he suits very well in poland.

[oh-nahhh]

Dinarid+Turanid.

[Peikko]

Dinarid + Baltid. Bizarre proportions but well inside Polish spectrum.
I agree. Armenid also came to my mind because of his smile. But I fail to see what's "uralid" about him.

[Roy]

I don't see any Armenoid.

Thoughtlessly repeated stuff becomes boring.

[Midori]

Mostly Dinarid + Neo Danubian

[Arbërori]

I know a Croatian girl with a similar look. Dinarid & something else.
