qpAdm of south asians

i found this by looking for qpAdm stuff on google


look at the onge they all have . crazy .

by the way i was just in the grocery store with my siblings and saw a punjabi mother and son . i know they are punjabi because the son had that headwear with the ball on the fronthead which is as far as i have seen typical for punjabis

and they look so so SO not west asian . they looked very very very distinctly south asian . both in facial features and skin undertone . when i saw them i immediately thought about the punjabi guys in forums and youtube quora etc. who think they overlap with us . wtf .....

also check out these threads i made :





what i find very astonishing (yet not surprising at all of course) is that the onge related ancestry south asians have (in significant amounts . even north indians) has totally "destroyed" their steppe and Iran N mix lookwise (and also plot wise ) . because imagine if they had no onge related admix . imagine they were just Iran N + Steppe . they would look similar to Lezgins or Tajiks or something

True, we're mutts so the onge admix dwindled our caucasian dna. South Asians that either have low onge or the onge pheno isn't expressed do tend to look kinda tajik or maybe pass as lezgin but those are minorities. I think it's a similar case with many Latin Americans and other multiracial communities, some times one ancestral group has the more dominant phenos.

As for sikhs, just want to point out that not all punjabis are sikhs, in fact only a minority of Punjabis are sikhs - most are muslim, granted it doesn't change the overall phenotype but i hate when people correlate the punjabi ethnicity w/ sikhs, it's like using the terms kurd and yazidi interchangeably when majority of kurds are sunni muslims.

i dont know anything about sikhs etc. (and i dont want to lol) . all i knew when i saw the kid was that he must be punjabi because of the headwear

by the way pakistanis are way more caucasian than indians if you go country vs country . a significant minority of pakistanis will even pass in NWA and even europe sometimes . while that is a rarity in indians and impossible for sri lankans

by the way are you the pakistani user who often had the nickname "squall leonhardt " ?

Yeah Sikhs usually do tend to be Punjabi and yes Pakistanis on average are more caucasian than indian and they are more than lankans and so on but on average we're all mutts except for the iranian plateau part but even then makranis have some african admix so either way we're a multiracial group.

No, I don't know who that is and this is my first anthropology forum, this is a new interest for me.

I didn't know that but that just further supports my position that we're a multiracial country and an overwhelmingly majority of Pakistanis are mixed race.

With zero Onge+Asian ancestry, I'd imagine the Kalash, for example, would almost uniformly resemble those sandy-blonde steppe-looking West Asians.
