Pretty good example of Anadolid, no?

Bump!

Classify this boss looking man and tell me where he can fit outside of Turkey. You can also just declare your admiration.

But if your only contribution is something like this:

What do you mean by that? You are lucky Azalea isn't around, all hell would break lose. :lol:

He is from the Black Sea highlands (https://www.google.de/search?q=black+sea+highlands&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=JnZAUr2mJcfRtAbCh4GoCA), you can find much lighter featured and "Euro" looking people than him there, and for that matter all over Turkey. He does look quite average Anatolian, but I agree he can pass as Balkan Dinarid.

The amount of East-Euro genes in Anatolian Turks is quite low and peaking in West-Anatolia. There is 0% Balkan genes in the Black Sea region. They are on average the purest Anatolians, scoring the least amount of foreign admix. So don't make stuff up, please.

millions and millions of Balkan ppl converted to Islam and ended up in Turkey, becoming Turks after Ataturk`s reforms and even begore that........most of them did settled in the western parts of Turkey, but you cannon`t draw a line in space where there offspring would have ended

Too many assumptions, but no evidence. Yes, Balkan Turk and Muslim refugees have been settled in the most western parts of Anatolia after the decline of the Ottoman empire. They know their ancestry.

You don't know much about the the regional genetic structure and phenotype diversity and distribution in Turkey, so why do you feel the need to make such claims?

Indeed.

@kvarc, no offense, but you don't know what you are talking about.

Anatolid (Armenoid + East med) like me :biggrin: but he could have a little pontid too and is a little lighter than me
