But mtDNA is a good indication of who you was before mixing. Humans paternal line changes much faster than humans maternal line.
Also, study on deep ancestral supports the Iranic origin of the modern Ossetians!
A simple question for you, you have an Iranian tribe, a bunch of men from a Caucasian tribe come by, kill off the Iranian men and take their Iranian women back to their lands, eventually they start having babies with them, what do you call the off-spring? Surely, you have to be fair and say 50/50, or else you'll look like a hypocrite with an agenda.
Besides, the study mentions that they're similar maternally to other Iranian populations as in, they carry similar maternal lineages, but keep in mind that there's no such thing as Iranian mtDNA, these lineages are very old and have existed thousands of years ago before civilizations, meaning that many different groups carry them, so just because someone happens to carry a similar lineage that is found among Iranians, it does not mean they're Iranian, a good example of this is haplogroup R2a, 90% of these people live in India, but just because someone carries this lineage, it does not mean they're Indian.
They speak an Iranic langauge, they're very cvlose to other West Iranic folks etc. They ARE Iranic/Aryan. What don't you understand here?
Your denial of West Iranic (Aryan) heritage in Kurds jumped to the denial of other Iranic folks in West Asia, LOL!
I give you even concrete examples, what do you need more???
Read this:
First of all, I never denied Kurds, Persians, Ossetians, or any other group that speaks an Indo-Iranian language from being Aryan, you're simply just stirring up the pot again, if I said that, point it out for me.
The other thing is, I'm talking about genetics here, this has nothing to do with Aryans because being an Aryan is a cultural thing, is there some genetic connection? A very small one, on top of that the North Indians, Pashtuns, Kalash, Nuristani, etc are also Aryans, yet for whatever reason you don't mix them into the discussion.
You talk about language? The Ossetians speak an Eastern Iranian language, this specific language falls under the same tree as Yaghnobi, Pashtun, and Pamiri languages, so once again, you have to expand your mind and look at the bigger picture here.
