Remember my map? Remember my thread? a Few people were making fun of it, but who laughs the last now?

It is almost like if I had the ancient DNA at hand when I made this.
I knew Sarmatians would close with Caucasus groups but more Northern shifted towards East Europe. In fact it seems some Sarmatian groups even overlap with Caucasus tribes and some of them likely overlap as far south as almost reaching modern Kurdish or North Iranian aDNA.
We should also note that allot of what the scientists of this paper consider as "West Scythian" are in fact Sarmatians. This is why they come to the conclusion that both groups have similar but yet different point of origin. It should be well known by now that Sarmatians were related but not descend from Scythians.
