Question on genetics

Re: Question on genetics

Turkic Azeris are Turkified Iranians in most part (Talish are Iranians for sure).....I don't know about DNA but we should be close to Persians.

well dna does not show azeris being mostly turkified iranians. It shows them being mostly J2 which is native to southern armenian highlands and northern mesopotamia G which is native to the caucasus, and R1b which is native to the ancient Hittietes and Armenian highlands/

Iranians have a lot of R1A which is Indo Aryan gene plus some G the native caucasian, and some J2 they do not have a significant amount of R1b which is the native indo european gene that armenians have. so again speaking strickly with genetics it is a puzzling delima

I was looking at the Y-DNA of the different people of Europe and Near East, and I am puzzled. Armenians pretty much have Y-DNA that is indigenous to the Armenian Highlands.

We are primarily R1B which scientist trace its origins with the Indo-European speakers of Central Anatolia and the Armenian Highlands ( the Ancient Hittites, and the Indo-european tribes of the Armenian Highlands which became a part of forming the Armenian people)

The other major one for Armenians is J2 which scientists say it originated in norther Mesopotamia and the southern regions of the Armenian Highlands ( around Lake Van region) This gene is connected with the first farmers who spread agriculture down into the middle east and west to Europe.

The other two genes are G which is native Caucasian gene (from the Caucasus) and R1A (connected with the Ancient Indo-Iranians in Armenia's case this gene could have come from the Cimmerians, or Scythians and to a lesser degree Parthians.)



NOW! here is where I am puzzled the Azeris have almost identical Y_DNA composition as we do. Only difference is they have some north African middle eastern dna, and higher on the G (probably for the Caucasian Avars and Lezgins). I was thinking Ill see some central Asian/Mongol DNA in them, but they have none. This is puzzling because even though I know they are a mixed people in a lot of Azeris you can clearly see their turkic features but the dna failed to show that. So does any one have any input or knowledge of this puzzling phenomena




here is the link to the info. (Scroll all the way down to see the Armenians and Azeris and Georgians)
