Difference between Albanians and Greeks?

[Chocolate_Hound]

The main difference is that Greeks are white and their culture European, while Albanians are not and their culture neither.

Then there are many smaller differences more, as that Greece is a developed country and First World, good at sport with an excellent cuisine, landscapes, women, etc

Lmao Greece is not "first world" in terms of development. They are not a Western country (Orthodox and use Greek script), nor do they look the part (very swarthy on average). It's poorer than Croatia.

They look similar for the most part. But Albanians seem to have way bigger, more brachy heads. This doesn’t have anything to do with phenotype but Albanians also seem to have more aggressive and/or emotionless facial expressions. Greeks are slightly darker on average in terms of both of skin and hair color, especially during the summer for Greeks.

Some features they both commonly share are nose shapes/size (Dinaric and Mediterranean type noses) and eye shapes/size.

Culturally Greeks are whiter but genetically/phenotypically Albanians are whiter.

Albanians and Greeks genetically plot in the same spot, but Greeks are slightly more West Asian-shifted with S. Italians: https://www.nevgen.org/PCA%20charts/...%202-1%20a.png, https://www.researchgate.net/profile...nt-samples.png.

The difference seems to be that Albanians have a lot more Dinarid and Alpine types, while Greeks have more Med.
Alpine and Dinarid is also typical in Greece but they are almost always blended with Mediterranean types. Albanians have more pure Dinarid and Alpine.

These phenotypical differences make a rather typical distinction between the two. Albanians have larger heads but weaker jaws. Greeks are also slightly darker.

im pretty sure in IBD sharing even cypriots and cretans will come closer to Balkan slavs for example than to spain and italy. nothing wrong with being part eastern euro.

What makes you think that? Cypriots have had little to no contact with east Europeans, and on average they are the most Levantine-shifted people in Europe. Sicilians are also shifted close to the Levant by European standards, so why wouldn’t Cypriots be closer to them instead? Same goes the Greek Islanders and even parts of the mainland.

For the record, your IBD assumption turns out to be false. Even Albanians and mainland Greeks are closer to Italians in terms of IBD and nowhere near the general Slavic pool:

bullshit

Depending which Greeks are you talking about.

From Thessaly any upward we are close with Albanians especially Epirotans.
