Albanian Nordicism Debunked / Gheg Pigmentation

[Jana]

I think albanians are the darkest people in Eastern Europe. Greeks are darker than them but they're southern Euro.

Albanians are ethnically south european. They cluster with Greeks and Tuscans! Even south slavs aren't proper east euros, they are eastern + southern.

Istanbul has a considerable Ghegian population too numbering in hundreds of thousands, they actually good at selling their 10% blondism to Anadolids and Kurds 5% blondism also present among the Oghuz Turkic element too, mixed with Turano-Pamirid features. No big deal.

So black hair is almost as common as dark brown? I find that hard to believe.

It is pretty fucking common to the point where one could consider it a typical Gheg characteristic, my siblings, father etc all have jet black hair, same with many Ghegs I see here, dinaric followed by alpine features are most common. Typical nose is narrow , leptorrhine, elongated or prominent aka the Gheg nose, hawk like nose. FOLLOwed by more upper paleolithic features.

To Albanians here its just a Turkish look LOL

Actually Coon also noted a connection between black hair and dinaric features in Greece. I don't think it's nearly as common in native Greeks (80% dark brown according to him).

Albanians are balkan people. Balkan=southeast Europe.

Greece is also in the Balkans, and if anything Greece is geographically more eastern than Albania. But I do agree that we are Balkan/Southeastern

[Vlatko Vukovic]

There are many darker Albanians that have Albanian faces. But the darker pigmentation seems to stir insecurities.

Balaj pigmentation is atypical.

Yes. His pigmentation is atypical, but he still looks Albanian.

It is heterogenous region. Albanians are more med/neolithic than Iberians.
