Honestly, most of them don't really look assyrian or armenian to me but they look kurdish. Genetically they are closest to assyrians and armenians tho.

probably because theyre from Mesopotamia.

Assyrians and armenians dont look super different to kurds for me(though assyrians maybe more differnet?)

They are pred. mesopotmian+some levantine + minor iranian + minor anatolian/caucasian

Both armenians and assyrians look kinda differrent from kurds in my opinion.

armenians do look similar to kurds . but more so western armenians

but i agree that georgian jews look more similar to us than armenians probably

 

[Roy]

They look a lot like Kurds and Assyrians. Moreso than like other Jews or Georgians to me.

Which jews did you have in mind

I still think that most armenians look recognizably different from kurds but regardless phenotypically georgian jews resemble kurds more than armenians but genotypically it is a different story

@skidrow what does this guy look to you?

 

[Kurdquistador]

kurds are closer to georgians than assyrians and maybe even armenians are . maybe thats why

we have more EHG than most people nearby and also more Iran N . CHG is basically a EHG / WHG / Anatolia shifted version of Iran N

check eurogenes k12b for example . we score way more west european and north european than assyrians . georgians also often score several percent of it . and we have less southwest asian than both assyrians and armenians
