Why did the Iron Age Iranians mix so much with various Asian peoples? The nomadic Iranians, for example, mixed significantly with Asian peoples, particularly the Sakas.The same is true for Sogdians and Bactrians, etc.
WMAF wins.
>>18499329?
>>18499328I think someone posted an article that talked about how the population of Iranians in the Bronze Age was small, or something like that, and there was an incredible lack of foids for them.
>>18499328All dna studies show that Turkics carry major Saka ancestry.>Persians Elamites who larped as Aryan
>>18499344We wuz The Scythians, for example, were not Hapas, and furthermore, the Sakas were not a kind of proto-Scythian homeland as some like to say, and your own graph shows heterogeneity even among cataloged samples such as Sakas.
>>18499349Most of the oldest Scythian samples have significant east Eurasian admixture
I’m not saying Scythians were Turkic nor am I saying they were full east Eurasian originally What I am saying is that the oldest samples of Scythians all appear more east and have APS like East Eurasian admixture autosomally, paternally and maternally.Which means they were originally a union of Andronovo and Glazkovo east Eurasian element, they most probably spoke IE languages but they weren’t full “aryans” and they had genes that modern Eurolosers don’t
>>18499356>Haplogroup Q is East EurasianIt's less Eastern than haplo R. Glazkovo culture carried 20% North Eurasian admixture.
konnichiwa dude!
>>18499445Not true
>>18499328Do we have samples of the Bactrians? In the case of the Sogdians, aren't the sample sizes quite small? And where are the Wusun and Tagar on your map?
>>18499328I believe he is correct. >>18499337But it's strange because some "sakas" can have even less than 30% steppe
>>18499356>were full east asianSome of the Scythian samples in this dataset very closely resemble Mordovians. And tell me, which culture do you believe to be the proto- Scythian who wuz fullz asiaticz? Also This is for you:https://youtube.com/watch?v=i1u088MlOmI&si=hSE1zZPiEfFlB7ql
>>18499918>shitty coverage>Moksha>eyzaLMAO you just proved me right. Thank you, saar
>>18499927They looked like Mordovians
>>18499937Not true.Many samples cluster within uralic pops which in turn, have east asian ancestry. Just like your own pic shows here>>18499918Eryza and Moksha aren't fully euro pops, the OG Scythians came from Kazakhstan, maybe tasmola or Karasuk, both with the glorious east asian ancestry.
>>18499899No. Small sample size less than 10 samples
Eurosaars?
>>18499992Bashkirs and Tatars are part of the Russian World and therefore whiter than west europeans.
