ASSIMILATED BY THE DORIANS
IN EASTERN SERBIA
The facial index,
in view of the great size of both component diameters, lies at 89 in Old
Montenegro, on the border between mesoprosopy and leptoprosopy; it rises to 91 in Brda
and the northern border tribes. The upper facial index, 53 in Old Montenegro,
has a mean of 55 in the north. The nasal index is hyperleptorrhine,
with tribal means ranging between 58 and 60. The widest faces, the shortest
faces, and the lowest upper facial indices, as well as the widest foreheads and
jaws, are concentrated in the southwest, Old Montenegro. These excesses
are not typically Dinaric;
they suggest only one possible relationship, and that is with the unreduced
Baldness, either
partial or involving the whole crown of the head, is quite common. The eyebrows
are as a rule thick, and concurrent in 80 per cent of the group. Exceptionally
heavy brow ridges, rare among other Slavs, are found in about 20 per
cent. The eyes are frequently deep set, with a narrow opening between the lids;
three men out of four have external eye folds. A low orbit,
a quite un-Dinaric character, seems frequent.
The Montenegrins,
after a detailed examination, are seen to be far from typical Dinarics in many features; they are too large-bodied,
too large-headed, and too broad-faced; their noses are too frequently
broad and thick-tipped. They are also far too rufous
for the ordinary Dinaric type.
But the

The Old
Montenegrin type, concentrated in the southwestern mountain fringe of
Montenegro, just north of the Lake of Scutari,
in the most conservative part of the kingdom culturally, and the ethnic center
of the Montenegrin nation, is nothing more nor less than a local unreduced brachycephalized Upper Palaeolithic
survival or reemergence, comparable to those found in northern Europe
and northern Africa.
Its growth to an
extreme size is a local specialization, in which selection may have played a
part, as well possibly as nutritive factors associated with life on a limestone
mountain. Mixture with this Borreby-like
type, and a response to the same selective and environmental
influences, has elevated the stature of the accompanying Dinaric
factor as well.
So far there is
no evidence to prove or disprove the presence of an

The research here (http://geocities.datacellar.net/CapitolHill/Lobby/7681/origins_1a.html) has provided the further facts necessary for locating the origin of Upper Paleolithic Montenegrins. This is not a feat of any kind, as the information has been lying around for decades & Coon wrote his book 25 years before the discovery of the Lepenski Vir Complex.
To this day, the population of Old Montenegro still exhibits a striking Upper Paleolithic physical morphology that distinguishes them even to the naked eye from both Montenergin Serbs outside of Old Montenegro & Serbs in general. It gets deeper.
The population of Old Montenegro
also exhibits identical morphology to the Sphakiots
of Crete who are known to be the purest modern descendants of the Dorian
Greeks.
One special group, the Sphakiots, living near the western end of the south side of the island, differ from the other Cretans in a number of characters; they are very tall, with a mean stature of 175 cm., and meso- to sub-brachycephalic, with a mean cephalic index of 81.6. They have especially large heads, with a mean length of 191 mm. and breadth ci 155 mm.; their faces are longer than the others, and equally broad or broader. Morphologically Dinaric types are common among them; they may be compared with Montenegrins and the northernmost Ghegs.
According to
the general assumption of authorities on
One can only derive them from the north, from the region in which the larger branch of the Dinaric race was formed.

The Lepenski Vir complex is north of Old Montenegro. So Coon was
correct in his speculation.
The similarities between two people who are so
geographically separated from each other such as are the Sphakiots
& Old Montenegrins, can only be explained by the absorption of this
superior strain of Upper Paleolithic strain in Eastern Serbia by the Dorian
Greek Nordics on their way to invading
the Achaean Greeks.
This absorption resulted the
hybrid-vigor necessary to lay the foundations for Sparta & Classical
Greece, with the Greek Dark Age being a time when hybridization was well under
way (
Social Organization &
Cranial Capacity: Parallels between Classical Greeks & the Lepenski Vir People
Both Dorian Spartans & the Lepenski Vir people are aberrations compared to their contemporaries. Unlike the rest, both lived organized, settled lives & planned their future down to the smallest detail. Both Sphakiots & Montenegrins always disdained agriculture & farming, considered to be women's work. Both are hyper-masculine cultures. The faculty of organization would have been most important to Mesolithic European hunter-gatherers because their ancestors had survived the rigors of Ice Age Europe. They were ahead of their time by millennia.
Consider
the Dorian settlements of
Lepenski Vir is proof that the Mesolithic is not the
‘dark age’ of European pre-history but only a prolonged period of gestation and
that the first great advance of European culture was not fertilized by
outside influences but arose spontaneously from the awakening of the long-conealed energies of the Danubian
culture of the Upper Paleolithic.
It shows that Europe did not have to borrow from the

In
case it is lost on the reader, Srejovic might as well
be describing the achievements of the Ancient Greeks with these same words of
praise because the Lepenski Vir
people were as far ahead of their contemporaries as the Classical Greeks were
ahead of their contemporaries.
The high brain capacity of the Cro-Magnons is paralleled by
that of the ancient Greeks, who in a single century gave to the world out of
their small population very much more genius than all the other races of
mankind have since succeeded in producing in a similar length of time.

All historians are familiar with the phenomenon of a rise
and decline in civilization such as has occurred time and again in the history
of the world, but we have here in the disappearance of the Cro-Magnon race the
earliest example of the replacement of a very superior race by an inferior one.

It
seems difficult to decipher whether the eyes on the busts have the
characteristics attributed to Upper Paleolithic Montenegrins but 11 / 13
obvious characteristics observable to the naked eye are more than coincidental.
Others like rufosity, height & powerful build are
famously Hellenic but can’t be conveyed through these busts.
In
any case, it is obvious that the characteristics applicable to Montenegrin
Serbs are entirely applicable to the Classical Greeks and that in describing
either of them, one may as well be describing the
morphology of both.
