Description

Central European type typical for mountain and forest regions. Presents the counterpart of Alpinids. The name derives from the Dinaric Alps in former Yugoslavia, where the type is commonly found among Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Bosniaks, and their relatives. Also typical for the Eastern Alps (esp. Tyrol), Carpathians, South Germany, Austria, Albania, West Ukraine. Extends to France, Western Greece, Bulgarian mountains, Italy, and other regions of Europe.^[1]

Physical Traits

Light brown skin. Wavy, sometimes straight, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Tall, meso- sometimes brachyskelic, mesomorph with short arms. (Hyper-)brachycephalic, hypsicranic with a flat occiput. The nose is prominent, long, convex and hyperleptorrhine. Face long with bony and coarse features. Chin strong, but round, lips rather thin, hair abundant. Forehead broad, sloping, and high.

-| description = Common in mountain regions of Central and Eastern Europe, especially the Balkans. Developed during the Upper Paleolithic, probably in the Middle East, and may be linked to European Bell Beaker types of the Bronze Age. Often a cohabitant of Alpinid. Besides the standard  Dinarid  proper, there exists a depigmented, anthropometrically similar  Norid  variety. Some unite Dinarids with Armenoids and similar types in a Taurid group. European colonists spread Dinarid over many places of the world, especially North America.
