Dinara type was discovered, described and introduced to science by the famous anthropologist Jan (Ivan) Deniker in late 19th century in Montenegro. According to Deniker, the basic features of Dinara type are: tall stature, dark skin color, dark hair and eyes, oval face, straight or pointed nose, thick and prominent eyebrows and protruding cheekbones (zygomas). Later on, anthropologists (N. Županić, J. Erdeljanović, B. Škerlj, B. Maleš, J. Valšik, Coon C.S., A. Puljanos, P. Bojev, B. Ivanović, P. Vlahović and others) conducted a more detailed anthropological study of Dinara type and thus pointed to some of its subgroups in Montenegro (seaboard, central, Durmitor, mountain and other subgroups). Beside common features, those subgroups also have some specific characteristics which were caused by adjusting to natural environment and prevailing living conditions. There will be more explanations about these varieties in my presentations. .
