Theyre all from the region "Kandahar", my hometown.

What do you think they look like and where do they pass to you?

i have met many iranians in real life . and from the iranians that i have seen/known i can say that they look clearly different

but i think there are still many iranians that will look like afghan pashtuns . especially eastern iranians

either way as i said above (i know i am repeating myself sorry) ...they look nothing like kurds . it is one of the biggest anthromyths there is that afghans look like us . they clearly dont

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.
Well, to be fair you do derive a good chunk of your ancestry from central asia(central asian aryan= BMAC + Proto-indo-iranian)

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.
20% from scyhtians who came from BMAC. And BMAC came from Kurdistan, so schythians came from Kurdistan?
And no ancestry from central asia?

Ok, whatever you say(please dont continue this conversation)

but ultimately bmac derives from west asia anyway . so it is west asian

we are EEF + Iran N + EHG + CHG + a little Natufian

Kurds are moslty Iran_ChL ('Central Irania Component' or CIC). And Iran_ChL itself is mostly CHG + some Iran_Neo & Anatolian_Neo

We have nothing to do with the native (South) Central Asian DNA, lmao.

No, G25 is for amateurs. Levant_Neo was already part of the Anatolian_Neo. Kurds have most of their Levant_Neo from the Anatolian_Neo.

But if we examine all the academic papers, they are all saying that Kurds (and all other Western Iranics) are mostly Iran_ChL (CIC/Central Iranian Cluster). Iran_ChL is mostly CHG. But at the end, CHG itself was just derived from the Iran_Neo.


And Iran_Neo, CHG and Iran_ChL are all native Northern West Asian components that cluster all together.

Pure native Aryan Northern West Asian Components = Iran_Neo, CHG and Iran_ChL.

but CHG is older than Iran Neo
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.

Iran_ChL is a child of CHG + Iran_Neo.

Northern West Asian = Iran_Neo , CHG , Iran_ChL
West Asian = Anatolian_Neo
Southern West Asian = Levant_Neo and some other ancient Semitic and Arabian Plateau components.

So, Iran_Neo, CHG and Iran_ChL are all the only most native components of the Northern West Asia. They are practically the same. It is like me, my brother and my father. We are all of the same family.

Anatolian_Neo was very different from Iran_Neo/CHG, though.
