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

[Jana]

Lol at Germans being tall. Have seen Swedes and Germans my whole life in Crete and can't remember anyone being particularly tall. Americans, Russians, some Serbs are usually the tallest.

Nonsense, Russians are below average short.

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.

Your models are nonsensical just like most threads you open. Thus distance 10+. Northern Croats don't have any significant Germanic DNA, but rather Celtic.

Selection, physical acticvity, nutrition

there was once a bottle neck situation where there was selection for tall, flat back convex nose types- who are turning themselves now into less extreme forms (Alpine-Med) but keeping the height, while Centraleuropean indeed are dominated by smaller Alpine looking people, but keep in mind Tyrolians are basically strongly DInaric too, but arent necessary tall, the same can be said for East Germany, Poles. Albanians are the most Dinaric craniometreically and the are small.

These tall dinaric Croats aren't dinaric proper in phenotype at all actually, but they have significant UP (Balkan Borreby admixture). Dinaric Croats stereotype is tall, brunet man with large flattened head and brick jaw, so obviously something different from idea of dinaric (except height and flattened occuiput)

Convex noses are huge minority among Croats. Prominent noses are common indeed, but convex are not at all. And significant amount of these dinaric alps Slavs have smaller, fleshy noses.

The tallest Europeans are South Slavs from Dinaric Alps (Dinaric Serbs, Bosniaks minus Sandžakians, Montenegrins and Dinaric Croatians) https://www.herzegdaytours.com/the-d...-in-the-world/

Tallest south Slavs are according to these studies Croats from south-central Dalmatia and west Herzegovina, both areas are low in elevation and not much higher than sea level.

Natural selection lol. Only the biggest, baddest people survived in the Dinaric Alps.

Russians are short people, you're probably only seeing the oligarchs that afford to come to Crete for vacation, unlike 99% of Russians that live on potatoes and vodka.

Both Dalmatia and western Herzegovina belong to wider Dinaric region.


Montenegrin males are 186 cm on average https://www.panacomp.net/montenegrin-people/

57% of Montenegro is on altitude over 1000 m.

Yes, but I just said parts of Herzegovina and Dalmatia where Croats live are rather low in elevation. Thus idea they live in mountains is completely wrong.
Most dinaric Alps Croats live in karst valleys not much above sea level. There are some exceptions like Rama bit in general it's like I said.

Nonsense, Russians are below average short.

Nonsense is what you are saying, Stears. I'm 175 or 176 and have met plenty of people taller than me in Russia. I don't consider myself short of course.

Shut up, you sock puppet. With that kind of trolling attitude you surely won't last here.

Sorry, but compared to European average Russians are opposite of tall.

> I'm 175 or 176 and have met plenty of people taller than me in Russia

You realize how this sounds? "I'm short by objective standards but I had the oportunity to meet taller people than me in Russia"
