Here you can see that the Ezdi Kurds are more shifted toward other Caucasians that the Armenians do

One big cluttered mess lol. Sorry but if that's what it says on this PCA then it doesn't agree with admix oracles. Seems like we have a bit of a conundrum here.

Wanna bet that I have more 'ANE' than the Armenians do. There is an ANE calculator (Eurogenes_ANE K7) on GEDmatch, let's compare..

i didnt disagree with that . we have more ANE than armenians i think

but that doesnt make us more caucasus than them lol

the distances on gedmatch with such calculations are often pretty decent . 2-3

you can also model armenians that way with G25 . also with a good distance

trust me armenians get modelled as half levant half geo
I modeled various Armenian subgroups using Lebanese and various Georgian subgroups as sources here:

Eastern and Hamshentsi Armenians are basically 95-100% Meskhetian-like in that model. Even the other subgroups are predominantly Meskhetian-like.

Using Laz and Kartlians is where it gets a bit interesting. Armenians from Urfa and Aintab can be modeled roughly 50/50 being the most East Med shifted while Erzurum and Gesaria is still a bit closer to Laz and Kartlians. Syunik and especially Hamshen are still 66-87% Kartlian/Laz-like in these models

Megrels being NW Georgians are among the purest CHG-like modern day specimens. It's logical that Aintab and Urfa would be noticeably closer to Lebanese in this case than to NW Georgians. Syunik in this scenario can be modeled as 50% NW Georgian and 50% Leb. The Hamshen are still noticeably closer to NW Georgians.

Khevsurs are very NE-Caucasian like given their excess steppe admix so they're fairly different to their NW counterparts. Here is where the fit kinda worsens for Hamshentsi(very little steppe) and significantly improves for the Syunetsi(higher steppe). You can reliably model an Eastern Armenian as 55% NE Caucasian and 45% North Levantine.

Ajarians, imo, are probably the best proxy for the 'AVERAGE' Georgian given that they aren't as southern as Laz/Kartlians/Meskh but aren't as Northern as Megrels or Khevsurs but somewhere in the middle. Using Western Armenians(Erzurum, Gesaria) as the target, you can model them half Georgian and half Lebanese if we use Ajarians as an 'average' proxy for Georgian. But the Syunetsi is roughly 60% Georgian here and the Hamshentsi is nearly 3/4 Georgian in this model.

That's why I tell you it's important to specify which Georgians you are referring to and which Armenians for that matter. Contrary to popular belief, Armenians, and especially Georgians are NOT 100% identical to their respective countrymen. Like most other groups, there are noticeable genetic disparities among us.

first of all meskhetians are not typical georgian

2. i didnt say that armenians are closer to levantines . i said that armenians can be modelled as roughly half georgian half lebanese which is the truth

3. why would you use laz . they are kartvelians / georgians yes but they also are more anatolian shifted and also inhabit northeast turkey . of course it will make armenians closer to georgian if laz is used instead of lets say imeretians . especially using hemshins who are more CHG than other armenians and using laz who are more anatolian than other georgians is you being dishonest here

but even when using kartlians who are more armenia shifted than west georgians ....armenians are still significantly lebanese shifted when they are taken as reference :

Target: Armenian_Syunik
Distance: 1.7344% / 0.01734405
63.2Georgian_Kart
36.8Lebanese_Muslim



Target: Armenian_Hemsheni
Distance: 2.4839% / 0.02483884
79.2Georgian_Kart
20.8Lebanese_Muslim

@vengeance can you post how kurds get modeled using imeretian and lebanese muslim references? You could also plug in the modelings of syunik armenians using imeretians and lebanese muslims

for kurds the distance would be bad

we can rather be modelled as half palestinian christian half yagnobi with a decent yet not great fit

You could post that then. Also can you post how syunik armenian reference gets modelled using imeretian and lebanese muslim references?

Dishonest? Have you been hitting the sauce lately? You can't pick and choose whichever Georgian subgroup you'd like to use to model Armenians with and claim your selection to be the objective truth. Whether you like it or not, Georgians are in fact genetically heterogenous whether they are Anatolian-shifted, steppe-shifted, moon-shifted or what have you. My entire point is that you can't claim to model Armenians as 50/50 without specifying which Armenians you are using as a target and which Georgians as a reference.

Your model uses Muslims btw, I used Christians and even then, they clearly aren't 50/50 or in between.

In general western georgians are genetic isolates especially mingrelians and svans. They are the closest things to OG CHG
