None of the above,they're so atypical :confused:

It is by default impossible. They are one ethnic group with totally arbitrary (tribal/religious) borders separating them. Overall, West-South-Slavs become gradually lighter from SE to NW. Also, Slavic element increases from Adriatic coast (where it is very weak) to Danube & Drava. Pre-Slavic element (Illyrian) is dominant everywhere. Overall, the population is very homogenous (much more so than Romanians), with well defined typologies.

I'll give it a shot. :D

1. Serb
2. Serb
3. Croat
4. Serb
5. Serb
6. Croat
7. Croat
8. Croat
9. Serb
10. Croat

I'm from Vardarska and I'm very light. So that theory of Vardarskaers being typically darker than Croats is simply untrue. Monolith is pretty swarthy but he doesn't look out of place in Hrvatska.

wut? During the summer months maybe. I tan easily.

Also, the argument that West South Slavs are homogeneous is simply bullshit. In my country, there's a rather sharp transition from Baltid, Nordoid and Alpinoid region (North-Central) to Dinaroid and Mediterranoid region (South-Southeast), with only Slavonia (East-Central) being somewhere in between.

But I agree with Guapo. It's impossible to tell who's who in this case.

But, for entertainment purposes, I'd say numbers 1, 3, 7, 8 strike me as Serbian. :) Number 6 looks really weird.

Dammit man :D I meant people corresponding to those numbers, not numbers as such lol. :D

Forget Me Not - 6/10

There's no point, it's next to impossible. Guessing Croatians and Serbians is like guessing Austrians from Bavarians- that is, the differences are so subtle that you would have to be a Scholar on both regions to figure it out. Even then, it would still be a lottery.

:lol: I'll just give it away. Odd numbers are Serbian, even numbers Croatian.

It is hard if you try to guess them individually (though my guess was 75% correct). :) It stops being hard when you compare larger groups because one can almost always tell who's who by comparing certain outliers. Also, comparing Croats and Serbs as one homogeneous group vs. another is not very plausible anyway. Naturally, population genetics only reflects what I said. :)
