In order to get to the Albanian Alps, you will have to get to Shkodra, the main city hub before you embark on the mountain. Nestled between northern Greece and the azure waters of Italy, Albania should be a tourist mecca. It is a safe country Albania is one of the least dangerous places in Europe. According to the UK Foreign Office, public safety is generally good, and there are very few reports of crime aimed at foreigners or tourists, although pickpocketing does happen.
But new data from the office for national statistics suggests that the height of the average Dutch person is shrinking. And scientists are puzzled as to why. At just over 6 feet for men and about 5-foot-6 for women , the Dutch are still the world's tallest population. What height is too tall? Men tend to want a woman no taller than 6 feet, while women want a man no shorter than 5 feet 4 inches. Although they do not consider themselves culturally Arabs , except for the shared religion, their presumed noble Arabian origins genealogically unite them.

Hope we'll know it at some point. Originally Posted by bicicleur. Originally Posted by Valerius. So called "Dinaricism" is found all over Europe. The Bell Beaker remains have been called "Dinaric".

I believe it has to do with selectivity and evolution. The harsh terrain these people live has lead nature to select only the best among them.
Could this be the case in the pastoral societies generally? Smoother terrains, which are usually better in terms of what earth can provide higher caloric value are able to maintain more people and, perhaps, not the best among them. Yes, in the Balkans this phenotype is mainly of pre-Slavic origin although some Roman, Celt and Germanic influence should be considered for its present percentages and variations. Should have happened in the Copper age. Originally Posted by Diomedes.

There must be another reason then. The people in the Himalayas have developed different genetic pool than those in Europe.
One has to also see whether the people in the mountains have had a different diet than those in low terrain areas. Honestly, I am a bit puzzled by this topic. Why one has to assume Y-DNA as a mean of interpretation is completely unclear. Is quite funny to see the ranking of years ago.
Quite an amazing DNA change Sorry, the link before is set for women by default. You should switch it to men. Originally Posted by LeBrok. Y-DNA input? I think you have to distinguish between potential height, which geneticists have traced to variations in autosomal dna, to expressed height, which can be affected by things like nutrition, hormones in food, the island effect, etc.
