You could fit in the next "Pirates of the Caribbean - the curse of the Mediterranean"
Aside from that, let's see.... slender build, thin nose, high cheek bones, elongated face with tall forehead, light brown eyes and hair, can't really tell but probably mesocephalic to dolicephalic, chain necklace and attitude,.... I'd say Mediterranean + Dinaric.
If I had to pin it to a nationality, I would say Greek only because this is the Mediterranean, otherwise I would have said Spaniard.
This post should by no means be construed as an expert opinion.

Dinarid with Mediterraneaid influence. If I saw you on the street of Europe, I'd probably mistake you for Serbian or Italian.

you're not Greek. I can understand it by the eyes alone. You're not very far from here.

Not sure what these terms mean, They are words that say something about the dimensions of a person's head/skull. A brachycepahlic is someone whose skull is wider from side to side, a dolicephalic has a long head, meaning longer from front to back than side to side, and mesocephalic is in between them. This is my oversimplified understanding of it, but there's a lot more on the internet if one were curious enough. Interestingly, the pattern of world distribution seems like round-heads (mediterranean and mid east) are sandwiched by two long-head races (northern europeans and africans in the south). PS. the high cheekbones and the way the eyes are oriented, horizontal but it's almost like there is a trace of the steppe in the corner, it hints at some sort of slavic extraction.

People immediately assume, I am either Italian, or Russian.
I am going to be frank and say I almost sure, I have traces of all of the above, perhaps missing something. Who knows tho really.

No, there is nothing Slavic in him at all.

glory1, I was basing my opinion on the other posters that put him as serb/bulgarian and based on the serbian eyes thread in the anthropology discussion. Of course, I could have been completely in the wrong, I have never met or seen a serb upclose.

You remind me very much of an old schoolmate of mine But leaving aside this similarity, you can go even for a South American easily, alongside the obvious Balkan choices.

Well yes looking at them linguistically, but we can all agree that Vlahs indigenous to the Balkans.

What is the relationship between Vlachs, and Illyrians?

Post by jonleka on Mar 11, 2011 23:17:09 GMT -5
Well they are latinized locals so i gues they could be vlah Illyrian,Thracian,Dacian and whatever was there then. I have read that they are just latinized illyrians, but who knows.
