Just give me some examples if you can. I just want to know the general look.I don't think you can generalise. There was no single Paleo-Balkan phenotype. The peoples of the Western Balkans (Illyrians, Pannonians, Liburnians) didn't exactly look like those living in the southeast or Greece.
...some examples... I just want to know the general look.
This group look like a mix of Romanians and Bulgarians. Definitively not western Balkan looking (Illyrians). Maybe Thracians or something like that.

Nice. I had in mind that Albanians resembled Paleo Balkan people, but I was thinking I might have been biased due to me being Albanian myself lol. Good to know I look like people from 3000 years ago
Albanians have the highest percentage of Paleo-Balkan auDNA aswell as male uniparental DNA namely: E1b-V13, R1b-Z2103, J2b-L283 and R1b-PF7562>PF7563 and mtDNA.Nice.

In any case I don't see them having light brown hair and light eyes. They had for sure brown eyes, dark hair, and pale skin tone. Pretty much as the guy I posted.For the Western Balkans, I would imagine they looked approximately like Novak Djokovic or the Croatian basketballer Toni Kukoc. But that's a wild guess because the Croats are predominantly Slavic in their autosomal make-up. All in all, you can get an idea by looking at many South Slavs (save Bulgarians and Macedonians, who are more representative for the southern Balkans) except that the pre-Slavic populations of the Western Balkans had less blond hair and light eyes. The pictures above are called cherry-picking.

FYI: @norbert and @Who Cares? are Serbian bots who propagate Slavic autochthonist ideas e. g. claiming Slavs resemble Western Paleo-Balkan folks like Illyrians with whom they neither share Y-DNA (J2b-L283 in Illyrians) nor mtDNA or auDNA. For the Central- and Eastern Balkans the same story applies, kind of, Slavs have absorbed some E1b-V13 for instance and some minor Z2103>Z2705 due to mixing with Albanians.
Slavs living in the Balkans carry mainly Slavic auDNA and uniparental DNA I-Y3120 and R1a-M417+.
The guy you posted is a Slav, Bosnian Serb to be more exact. Why are you so obsessed with appropriating Paleo-Balkan ancestry or in this case Illyrians when you're clearly Slavic? He has zero in common with the Illyrian population that lived there during BA-IA-early CE. Give it a rest.In any case I don't see them having light brown hair and light eyes.

You're not just your father's line obviously your family tree is filled with Paleo-Balkan Y-DNAs and mtDNAs since you're Albanian. Some Slavic lines have been absorbed and expanded with Albanians since the medieval era. Nothing tragic about that.Fml I'm I-Z17855
But yeah majority of Albanians have Paleo Balkan haplos. As far as I know average Albanian is 75-80% Paleo Balkan and 20% Slavic. It gets lesser when you only take the Ghegs in consideration. I've seen some Ghegs who had 5-10% Slavic. Basically nothing.
Because Illyrian core was in south Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro. Albania was borderland region. Also the guy I posted does not look like Slav, and only other people that were present in southern parts of Bosnia, where he is from, were Illyrians.They guy you posted is a Slav, Bosnian Serb to be more exact.

So no those J2b-L283 BA-IA gents didn't look like frickin Djokovic, Ratko Mladic, Milosevic or Vucic.
Mate you're embarrassing yourself with this pseudoscientific BS. Albanians have the highest (especially Malësia e Madhe), amount of Illyrian haplogroup J2b-L283. Whatever was left of the Illyrians in the Western Balkans northwest of Albania and Malësia was totally wiped out by the Slavic migrants and reduced to a minimum.Because Illyrian core was in south Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro.

Does Illyrian Y DNA haplogroup make you Illyrian?Mate you're embarrassing yourself with this pseudoscientific BS.

The most common Paleo-Balkan Y-DNA in Herzegovinian Serbs is E1b-V13. The fat bald headed Serb you posted looks like a swarthy Slav, nothing else.
