He does rather look like some Balkanian from Kosovo or Serbia to me. Pred. dinaric, he seems to have some central european admixture judged from the frontal pic...thats not pure balkanian to me.

This guy is an Albanian from Kosova. Is it just me or does he look like he has some Upper Palaeolithic admixture to him? I have seen his type occasionally in Kosova, they're usually quite tall and heavy. It feels like this guy to the right in the link below has the same tendency, though with a broader face; www.luanmorina.co.uk/Luanmorinagallery.htmWhy do you say so?

From those who i've seen, i think southies have more regular faces. The above looks central european not balkanian, and in no way south balkanian.

Actually, I think there are not all too few Balkanians who look like him. If we are dealing with UPs, the type is mostly common in the Albanian highlands of the north, Montenegro and the Sphakiotes of Crete. Though I havent seen any detailed study of Kosova, based from what I have seen, there are quite some people who fit the UP description. In South Albania, they are probably more rare, but not totally absent. Look at Geri Cipi, the 6'4 ft Lab from Vlore, I'd say he is a UP survivor;

His profile is very balkanian. I would immediately find out he is balkanian just from that. And as for his frontal pic...such types are not uncommon among Balkanians.
UP admixture could be an explanation since he seems more robust than the classic dinaric but without showing tendencies of fat deposition which would we a sign for alpine admixture.
