Are we talking about Dinaric Alps or haplogroups?Don't mix upp things!Y haplogroup I2a has nothing to do with anthropology (Y chromosome is sex chromosome).Physical appearance is determined by autosomal genes.
For whatever you are talking about,i am just telling you how older is the name Dinar-Dinaric-Dinarides then Ken Nordvedt itself,and from where the name of the haplogroup is derrived from,because is the most frequent in that region,and yes that region is the most frequent for Dinaric race as well.
The concept of a Dinaric race originated with
Joseph Deniker, but became most closely associated with the writings of
Carleton S. Coon and
Nazi eugenicist Hans F. K. Günther. The term was derived from the
Dinaric Alps (the western part of the
Balkan Peninsula) which was supposed to be the principal habitat.
According to
Jan Czekanowski, the Dinaric race is a mixed type consisting of
Nordic race and
Armenoid race, what he proves by anthropological research involving geographical data,
cephalic index, and characteristic
racial features. He states:
"The Dinaric type is characterized by quite light skin, dark hair from dark brown to dark blonde, and a wide range of eye color; tall stature, a brachycephalic skull, long face, a very narrow and prominent nose, sometimes aquiline; a slender body type, and very big feet."
Characteristics were defined as very tall, mostly
mesomorph bodily build, with relatively long legs and short trunk and a long arm span. The overall anatomy of the head was said to be
brachycephalic to hyperbrachycephalic (Cranial index: 81-86) whereby the condition is caused by both rather high breadth of the head and a medium length of the neurocranium, whose back part is often somewhat flattened (planoccipital).
