I said I would. this calculator is not good at all because it doesn't even show any distance + they used 3 Iran Neo sources and they used Natufian hunter gatherer. my humble advice would probably be around 8-9 if they showed the distance

thats because it doesnt further split components and because it doesnt have a CHG component . but thats not the point . the point is that this calc shows the reasons why certain populations look "exotic" ....to put it simply
also you are mostly of Kurdish descent and Kurds and Georgians are both Northern West Asians . i dont see whats so shocking that a Kurd gets Georgian high in a calculator especially when there are only a couple of components
the populations for the "Ancestral South Eurasian" component are Papuans and Australian Aborigines . and these people ....which south asian mostly have it from (but they also have a little Papuan and/or Australian)
Andamanese
this Andamanese Tupac Shakur guy for example
south asians have a lot of ancestry from such peoples . check the spreadsheet i posted . even punjabis who are one of the most northern indian groups have in this spreadsheet have 14.20 % . you think thats not much ? it is .....even a few percent is significant and will also show on the appereance of a population
it is no surprise that you can see the admix of the andamanese people i just posted on indians . the more south geographically and the more "low caste" (i dont like to use that term to describe humans ) the more they score it and the more you will see it
Punjabis have 14.70% of it in the spreadsheet as i said
and this is how punjabis look
if they didnt have it they would look very different . they would look similar to tajiks or something . even though we also have to consider environment / climate etc. . it is not that ONLY genetics play a role in looks
and as you can guess i will also make the comparison to my people the Kurds . the reason for it is that there are bullshit myths about us online that we are a south asian like people which is absolutely horse shit of course
as you can see on the OP i score zero south eurasian . Kurds wont score any and if then only like 1-3% max .
(the Kurd_C reference is not accurate btw. . it is some weird reference from Iraq that the calculator maker called "Kurd" gives but that reference doesnt score like Kurds usually on most calcs . you can take my own results as representative for Kurds in general especially Turkey Kurds )
this is one big difference between west asians and south asians but not the only one . but since we are talking about south eurasian lets stick to that only here
