What is the true origin of Dinarization/Flat-Occiput, and where does it occur at high rates?

He seems to share pretty much all of the features listed. At first I thought his phenotype was merely influenced by "Dinaric" intermixing in the Balkans, but he doesn't look like a typical Dinaric for sure.
Could it just be that "Dinaricization" is the result of a warrior culture? Illyrians, Germanics, and Caucasid peoples all have a tribalistic warrior culture.

What would be the link with the warrior cult? Curious....

I don't know what the exact biology linking the two things would be, but I suppose that since the Bell-Beakers and Dinarid Celto-Illyrians and Caucasids all had a consistent warrior culture such that they would be the best soldiers in the Roman empire and even raised their kids to be mercenaries, it would have had some effect on their skull morphology? I honestly don't know, just shooting darts on a board.
