How are the tallest Croats by far the ones with the least Germanic DNA?

Shouldn't it be the other way around? In Croatia the more north you go the more Germanic DNA there is, but the people are also getting significantly shorter. Pic related

Also genes wise:

Target: Croat_South
Distance: 16.8620% / 16.86204257
51.2 Italian
48.8 German_Northwest

Target: Herzegovina_Croat
Distance: 17.4311% / 17.43112250
50.9 Italian
49.1 German_Northwest

Target: Croat_North
Distance: 16.6733% / 16.67330847
65.5 German_Northwest
34.5 Italian

pure Germanic DNA is clearly bigger in north Croats, but out of all Croats they're the shortest. Makes 0 sense to me.

Serbs are also very tall in general, without any significant germanic ancestry. It must be a balkan thing or something.

Those distances are terrible

Another oracle mumbo jumbo

Why would you take NW Germans and Italians to model "Croats" (catholic SW Slavs)? Probably that "germanic" ancestry is Slavic

They do not have that much Germanic DNA, it's a model that I see for the first time.

Cause thats simply not a model, but trolling. Try to model Poles using only Brits and Finns as reference populations and you'll get similar funny results.

The Dinaric race of Southern and Central Europe is centered in the Balkans! This is where their great height comes from. They are far from being Germanics! They do have strong Dinaric facial features.
