why should i do a "kurds and bulgarians do not look alike" thread ? there are not enough people linking us to bulgarians . but there are way too many people wrongly assuming and saying often that kurds and afghans look similar even though we do NOT
anybody with 2 functioning eyes can see this . they only link us because we are iranic speakers
this has nothing to do with being offended . i just dont see the point of saying ok to something which is not true . i am not a conformist . i will not shout out the nonsense only because people assume it is true when it is not
many persians dont look kurdish either btw. . but thats another matter
dude ....smh .....the BMAC you are using there has aasi in it
If BMAC has AASI in it and Iranian_Neo does, that means Kurds have A LOT of AASI DNA as well. Which one is it? Do Kurds score "no AASI DNA," or do you score almost 15% of it (based on BMAC/Iranian_Neo levels in Kurds)? Your arguments are very inconsistent and hard to keep up with.
if you want to see the aasi you have to use a model like this :
Target: Tarkalani
Distance: 2.0835% / 0.02083457
34.4 Steppe_EN
32.6 Iran_N
17.6 AASI
14.0 Anatolian_Farmers_N
1.4 EastAsian_HG
So you are using the most Eastern-shifted Pashtun groups from Pakistan to prove your point? Don't be a hypocrite. This thread is about Afghans. And again, that's a poor fit. Anything with a fit above 1.5 isn't accurate and shouldn't be used in a serious discussion.
"distance : 28.5205 % "
do i need to say more ? are you kidding me ?
Many of those other fits you had had a distance of 11! They're equally as useless. Once you get a distance of >1.5, it becomes extremely shitty, and once you get passed a distance of 10, it becomes equally inaccurate because it's completely inaccurate.
we have a shit ton of anatolia neolithic / barcin . which you have not much of
"east med dna" lol ....call it however you want . but it is the same that also europeans have
Target: skidrow_scaled
Distance: 3.4035% / 0.03403454
33.6 Iran_N/CHG
26.6 Anatolian_Farmers_N
19.4 Levant_Pre_Pottery_N
18.2 Steppe_EN
2.2 EastAsian_HG
by the way keep in mind that Levant N has a lot of barcin / anatolian farmer in it itself . when you use natufian to extract it the hidden anatolian farmer will be shown . this is the real mediterranean farmer we have :
Target: skidrow_scaled
Distance: 3.6900% / 0.03690005
38.2 Anatolian_Farmers_N
34.6 Iran_N/CHG
17.0 Steppe_EN
8.2 Natufians
2.0 EastAsian_HG
as you see i have a lot of it
And as you see, that is bogus because you're have a fit of 3
and no that is not the only reason why you dont cluster with us . you have 17% aasi which we dont have . you have less CHG too . and of course a lot less anatolian farmer
I'm not fully Afghan. My mother is Northern European. You also casually forgot to mention the much higher steppe ancestry. Afghans would cluster even closer to Kurds than Lebanese people and all Palestinians do if you took away all their NE European DNA and added it East Med, even with their current South Asian levels. Sistani Iranians have similar levels of AASI as many Pashtuns from Afghanistan do, and they still cluster well in West Asia because they have enough East Med and Natufian DNA. if you're going to be nit-picky and break up CHG and Iranian_Neo, then break separate Levantine Neolithics from European Neolithics Farmers as well, because you'd get a lot more of the former. If Afghans are "17% AASI" (they're not) because of BMAC/Iranian_Neo, then surely Kurds have much more AASI than what your calculator shows too because you derive ancestry from BMAC and Iranian_Neo as well.
CHG and Iran N is NOT the same . it just isnt
Then separate the Levant Neolithic from your "European Farmer" DNA as well, because that's "NOT the same . it just isnt."
wtf are you talking about . are your eyes ok ?
these are all the ethnicities i am closer to before pashtuns which i circled . you will have to scroll way down to see =) lol . look at all the ethnic groups i am closer to . i made it some months ago btw. . i can do a new one with the balkan turkish samples in them . which i am at a distance of 10.7 . so also comfortably closer than pashtuns lel
Are your eyes okay? I showed you the runs with literally every single TA member who has DNA results, and you are genetically closer to owight_gavnah (full Afghan) than you are to Southern Italians, Sicilians, Ashkenazi Jews, and Cretans. The samples that the calculators use to average ethnicities aren't always representative, so that's why it may appear that you are closer to those other populations than to Afghans, but it's different when comparing you to real Afghan people and real Balkan people. When we use real fully Afghan people with pretty average results for Afghans, they all show up closer to you than virtually any Balkan person does, they're all closer to you than some Southern Italians are, and some like owight_gavnah are as close to you as Palestinians and some Cypriots are. For the others, you're (roughly) equally as far from the real Afghan people used and Sicilians/Southern Italians/Greek Islanders.
most of the women have not dyed hair or contacts you dumbfuck . and the ones who do just do it because they are women and women do such stuff . but they are not picked by me because of that . and i didnt post afghan females because i just took the pics from a thread of avicenna on TA . otherwise i can post afghan females too along with them no problem . it wont change anything
A good 1/3 of them do.
suntanned or not . doesnt matter . the afghans have different facial features . and yes they DO look very different from the kurds . sorry . it is clearly to see
Am not denying that, but they're just as close to Kurds in looks as some of the other groups you have no issue claiming similarities with. That's all I'm saying!
