Dalmatians swarthy?

Here is an interesting fact. In this northern Albanian village/region near Montenegro border are majority catholic.
According to Coon's theory these Albanian highlanders came from Dalmatia about 500+ years ago in different waves.
Do you see any similarities in phenotype?!

our legend (where I'm from) is about us coming from today's Herzegovina (Croat parts; Široki Brijeg, Kupres)

btw, Dalmatians I've met seem to be some of the most pimple-free populations, their skin is amazing (similar to coast dwelling Albanians)

I must agree with you, i am also not 100% with varinace=age, but its most popular belief today by scientists.


Funny thing as well, Iljirijans, or should I say Albanians were most fanatical about preserving that same belif on these forums

we can distinguish between Lj (Albanian L) and L (Albanian LL), we also have DH, which you can't pronounce
