For a people said to be "iranic" they are closer to turkics so why do paniranians and nordicists and jeets cling to them

>>17857632 (OP)
None of these are particularly close matches, why don't you include Slavs?

>>17857632 (OP)
The real question is why invest so much in some violent Iron Age nomads?

>Nomadic steppe niggers are mix of everything imaginable

who could have thought

>>17857648
What you are seeing is the 25 closest populations, Slavs don't make the list

>>17857667
We know that Iranics were Corded Ware with increasing Mongoloid admixture to the east, perhaps the Mongoloid admixture of this population was from some divergent Siberian hunter-gatherer groups that no longer exist, or modern Central Asians have some additional admixture which throws off the comparison.

>>17857663
Its mostly ethnicjeets and whitoids who romanticise them as these "blonde hair warriors" other than that they have no other use just a bunch of violent steppeniggers

Sogdians and bactrians on the other hand are far more interesting how they travelled as far as china and traded with them.

And that even the greeks that settled there adopted their culture

>>17857701
BMAC is also very important. Iranics are generally not close to any Europeans after Andronovo.

>>17857648
These are the eastern scythians/saka
The black sea scythians are closer to slavs and caucasus groups

>>17857708
They can still do that with the Sintastha/Corded ware at least, I see no reason to tie oneself to arguing with Turks forever over the identity of these Asiatic mutts.

>>17857632 (OP)
Iranic doesnt mean iranian
Its like turkic and turkish
Iranics where indo aryan nomads who imposed an indo aryan language in iran/on iranians

>>17857751
Im not shitting you its literally this

>>17857929
Yeah iranians shitting on turks for being turkified anatolians is kinda hypocritical since iranians are only iranic by language and nothing else

>>17858019
Well, its about them seething against central asian turks and bitch about how "central asia white" before they arrived

>>17858524
Well it was but it was never like them anyway and the closest people to them are the turkics

>>17857632 (OP)
Scythian population put together are mostly WSH with smaller BMAC and East Asian components. That clusters them with Tajiks.

Outliers with very high East Asian and very low WSH clusters them with modern Hazaras, Uzbeks, and Bashkir.
