Classify Livin's cousin/where he pass

[Dna8]

Best pass Gheg Albanian, IMO..

[Livin]

There are some people on TA I've seen say that Georgians have an overlap with Bulgarians and Romanians and can at times give a Slavic vibe, so if one Pontic Greek looks like a Slav, I guess its just part of their diversity (I'm aware Pontians are genetically closer to Armenians but Georgians are also their neighbors).

Is he atypical by Pontian standards by the way?

Atypical but his facial features can easily be found among us.We used to call him “Blonde” because w
he was very light hair,when he was young.

[Livin]

Noric.

Passes in eastern Europe.

How the fuck he is noric,when he is mesocephalic ?

[Livin]

He passes perfectly in Trabzon.

I thought he was an uber-caucasus face but everyone says he looks balkan/slavic...

You are right. Your cousin has a quite protruding occiput and relatively narrow forehead.
He isn't even Dinaric admixed. Cromagnid is what he is.
Relatively pan-European look.

He is indeed robust,but i think he got a dinarid nose and maybe his ears.But he is high skulled(hypsicranic) thats why i said he is Pontid or even atlantmed because these med types used to be high vault.

Your assumptions are correct. He isn't exactly "uber-caucasus" but he is proper Greek Pontian. His kind is extinct today sadly, because Pontians mixed with rest of Greeks. In older times many real Greek Pontians had this strong Dinaric-CM appearance that you will not find in all the christian Laz and other west Asian ex-soviet rubbish that Hijack our identity today, or even in the partial second and third generation Greek Pontians. Additionally "pure" Dinarics are disappearing from Europe in an alarming rate these past generations. If I were to guess I would assume that you come from Santa or somewhere south of Trabzon district, am i correct? Keep in mind that this area received influx of mainland Greek migration in the 17th century, which could serve as an explanation.

I will perhaps make a proper thread at some point clearing out misconceptions about Pontians and post many old pictures for phenotypical reference. My archive is rather poor as of now though, less than 20 pictures of proper, verified Greek Pontians
