G25 is better in a sense where you can make better fits from a bigger pool of samples but they both suffer from calculator effect where certain samples can be masked, or bled into others. At the end of the day, they're both amateur tools meant to be used for fun.
It'd be better for pro tools...
You know the answer. To certain Armenians, Kurds look closer in phenotype than Assyrians. I merely used the oracle example to support my theory.
Personally, I don't put too much stock into ,amateur G25 and Gedmatch calcs as the end all be all. I'd much prefer pro tools.
Both have overlap for sure but I feel somehow Kurds overlap better with certain Armenians than Assyrians do. I don't take Gedmatch calculators too seriously but when I ran the oracle for Eastern Armenians, Kurds would show up before Assyrians.
Lots of Kurdish, Armenian, Pontic and Georgian(southern) passing individuals with a visible Iranian twist. They don't look Levantine as a whole whatsoever.
