Yes but it is my opinion that Dinaric fenotpye was associated with this group of people that lived in 'Balkans' and that these people spread northwards not the other way around. Hence big and important part of Slavic nations having that haplotype among them.

Also although this haplotype is virtually absent in Swiss, Austrian and other Alpine populations physionomy can change and enter certain group of people through maternal line. Also as I know the mentioned countries have other I haplotypes present in ther national corpus and I haplotype is I haplotype.

It is strange how this haplogroup predominates in Slavic nations. Anyway, this all indicates that the racial types we're talking about are not sub-races but phenotypes, which are, as we have seen from the recend debrachycephalisation trend in Europe, even pretty fluid.

It is strange...but then maybe not. I agree with you to some point.

I wouldn't go so far as to declare that Slavic Dinarids beong to I1b but rather the type after the LGM that inhabited the Balkans at that time, which certainly wasn't exclusively Dinarid (and certainly not in the modern sense). However, if that is (at least partly) the case, we have solved the riddle of the origins of Dinarids.

I believe that is the case(at least partly).
I think if we also observe the frequency of I modal haplotypes in Scandinavia and Northwestern Europe and Balkans or rather West Balkans we can also explain the similarity between Dinarids and Nordids. Perhaps this similarity in fenotypes between Scandinavian and Southeastern populations can be explained by this.

Or were you referring to another study?

No, I was in fact refering and basing my opinion which I laid out here to these same studies.

Btw. a question.
I heard about that model of yours Melanija Knavs is marrying Donald Trump. Usually I couldn't care less for such things, but I've noticed that Americans are calling here 'Melania Knauss' like she's German instead of her real name in Slovenian Melanija Knaus. Is that an inferiority complex by her or did the American press mixed something up....as usual?
