First point is that most Macedonians have only got ancestry from Macedonia alone, with only a very small to unexistent portion with ancestry from Thrace or Moesia etc. (and of course this excludes the Macedonians who migrated to Bulgaria over the past century or so). I myself have no known ancestry out side of South West Macedonia.

One more thing. If we overlap with Dalmation Croats, we surely overlap with Southern and Central Serbs. We also have a lot of people with Serb ancestors, especially in the Northern Half of Macedonia.

Over all; Good representation of all the phenotypes.

Why offensive?

The Macedonian part could be broken down even further.

If we exclude Turks and Greeks living there, Student's town is the most representative place in Bulgaria

While I recognize FYROM as an independent country, I don't recognize Macedonians south of Skopie as different ethnic group and I will always mention them when speaking about Bulgarian history, culture and anthropology.

OK, let's not go offtopic. I decide to show two classes from Sofia which are visibly different one another. This often happens in Sofia, or any other place where Bulgarians with ancestry from Salonica to Ismail and Pirot to Istanbul live.

How do you know who have ancestry from Aegean and who not?
Or you think Aegean bulgarians and Bulgarians from east Thrace brought more dark types in Bulgaria?

Are you asking me? You can't know for sure, but some places have specific type of refugees. And Bulgarians who live close to the Black, Aegean and Marmara coasts are generally a bit darker.

I don't think that Bulgarians from Eagean Macedonia are darker on average. The climate there is not even Mediterranean and the people never mixed with Greeks very often as in Eastern Thrace.

It is in the plains. But climate isn't what matters most, or mixing with Greeks, as Bulgarians aren't very mixed with Greeks anywhere, even in Eastern Thrace.
