A Gheg Albanian given as an example of the Dinaric type of the Caucasoid race by 20th-century race theorist Carleton S. Coon in The Mountains of Giants: A Racial and Cultural Study of the North Albanian Gheg (1929).

The Dinaric race, also known as the Adriatic race, were terms used by certain physical anthropologists in the early to mid-20th century[1][2][3] to describe the perceived predominant phenotype of the contemporary ethnic groups of southeast Europe (a sub-type of the Caucasoid race).
