Theyre all from the region "Kandahar", my hometown.
What do you think they look like and where do they pass to you?
I guess more south asiando they look more "south asian" or iranian to you ? Or a mix of both ?
Well, to be fair you do derive a good chunk of your ancestry from central asia(central asian aryan= BMAC + Proto-indo-iranian)Who cares? As long they don't claim that Kurds are from Southern Central Asia, I am cool! Which is a lie of course. Kurds are native to Northern West Asia for obvious reasons. We are in the same genetic cluster as other NATIVE Northern West Asians.
20% from scyhtians who came from BMAC. And BMAC came from Kurdistan, so schythians came from Kurdistan?Maybe 20% Steppes ancestry from the Scythians (who came originally from the BMAC). But BMAC itself was mostly an Iran_ChL culture and originally from Kurdistan. Kurds are mostly the Aryan Medes and the Medes were native to Kurdistan/Western Zagros Mountains and evolved from the Aryan Gutians/Kassites/Mannaeans.
Nothing to do with the Central Asians at all. Kurdish genetic cluster is with the native Northern West Asians.

Kurds are moslty Iran_ChL ('Central Irania Component' or CIC). And Iran_ChL itself is mostly CHG + some Iran_Neo & Anatolian_Neobut ultimately bmac derives from west asia anyway . so it is west asian
we are Iran N + EEF + Steppe + Levant N
No, people from the North Western part of Iranian Plateau migrated into Caucasus and became CHG. All recent academic studies showed that. That is why both components cluster very close together. And only both of these ancient components are very native Northern West Asian.but CHG is older than Iran Neo
