maybe intermediate i am not sure tbh
Geographically they inhabit an intermediate zone between SW and Northern West Asia but genetically they are shifted more towards SW Asia than Northern West Asia. They are equidistant and slightly even closer to certain Saudis than to borderline Northern West Asians such as Georgian Jews. As a result, I think they are SW Asian but phenotypically they are closer to Northern West Asians and I guess that Samaritan guy about whom I made that passification thread proves it in a sensemaybe intermediate i am not sure tbh
I beg to differ, however the fact that Samaritans are a bit closer to certain Saudis and Bedouins than to Georgian Jews doesn't help their case to be Northern West Asians. I don't consider them to be one of usGeorgian Jews are not borderline . they are proper NWA
my point is rather that the south asian component and the mediterranean component are the big game changers and the main reason why south asians are different from us northern west asians and europeans
and northern west asians and europeans are both caucasian race and have big overlap
To be fair, kurds do share more "recent" ancestry(at least more so compared to euros) with nw south asians like punjabis(central asian aryans, makes around 30-40% of ancestry in kurds and punjabis) than with euros. Your pre-islamic religions are closer to the other's too.
But im not arguing kurds resembling or clustering closer to punjabis than to euros though
what are you talking about
cant you just take it for as what it is instead of trying to shit on it . it almost seems as if you want us to be curry or some shit lel
I understood what you said. All i just did was bring up the fact that kurds and punjabis share more ancestry with each other within 2000 years, compared to euros.i rather think you dont understand what i am saying
i wil explain tomorrow again 😍

Same can sort of be said for spanish when it comes to south euros and russians, though rather within 1000 years. It doesnt mean they arent racially closer to russians than to example mexicans?
Did i say otherwise?good example even if not perfect
an english person shares more ancestry with a half english half black person but he is very different from him racially and is dimensions more like an ukrainian than like the mulatto
Here's the thing:but wait a minute
south euros have high barcin which we also have high , and they have high steppe and we have decent steppe .
You can say what it is, but it really doesnt change the fact that you share more ancestry with punjabis from the last 2000 years than with bulgarians(and most other south euros)?but it doesnt matter where it comes from . it is what it is tbh
Well, apparently you do get 2/3 of the barcin N compared to bulgarians, and a better fit(like 0-1) might change the components 3-4%(which fits close to 3 can do), but i guess not much less.
Either way you got your anatolian N from different source when compared to south euros, though except cypriots perhaps.
