Typical Borreby and Dinarid variants is baldness, mature/robust leptosome bodytype (more common among the latter), higher vault, flat occipiut, tall height, high forehead, cleft chin and so on.. What makes the Dinarid features different from those of an brachycephalised Cromagnoid/Borreby? Mostly the nasal shape. So, my question is are Dinarid really evolved from Borreby?

Yes. This theory is strong. There are obvious connectioncs between modern-day balkanic dinaro-morphs and borreby "mesolithic types". But in Caucasus this tendencies are more pronounced and much more investigated.
But it is just a point of view of ex-jugoslavian anthropologists.

By the way, theory of "dinarization" of mediterraneans, which is determined only by climathic factors, isn't too much realistic. For example contries like Norway and Spain are extremely mountainous (more than 90% of territory = highlands) but population of those zones shows lack of dinaro-morphism. In opposite to this population of Pannonian plain shows some strong dinaro-morphic tendencies.

Thank you for your appreciation comment. However, I've noticed that Balkan Dinarids, especially Montenegro, have Cromagnoid element or tendencies in them. If you send Borreby type to Balkans, they'd become Taurised or at best, ''Dinarization'' and thence, they are so called ''Dinaric''.

The theory makes sense, but considering that Europeans followed a pattern of depigmentation and movement to the North, it would make more sense for Borreby phenotype to be a descendant of the Dinarid phenotype, not the other way around. 

 

  If you said "Borreby evolved from Dinarid & other East Mediterranean types" it would be very plausible. 

Also is cleft chin really a racial feature? I've seen a lot of negroids and possibly some mongoloids with cleft chins too
