Leak: Early Iranian and Turksih Farmers were Genetically Distinct

Goga, if Kurds are not bastard race, which Races are?

So you are calling Kurds who shows on various genetic calculators and studies to be one of the most homogenous ethnic group in the Near East, a bastard race because possibly WIkipedia told you? Stop being a smartass next time, if you don't know crap

The important components that build the modern Kurds merged/fusioned together between Bronze to very late Iron Age. Afterwards they never received any important admixture from outside. That is proven by innethnic fst Distances. Not even the border managed to change that.

@Goga

stop flooding every freakn Thread with your nonsense. This Thread has not much to do with Kurds and any Kurdish religious minority.
 
No way! Sumerian predate any Indo-Iranian languages by thousands of years. And secondly, Semitic was never spoken in the Kurdistan Zagros Mountains and the Iranian Plateau. That's impossible! Semitic langauges are native to Levant & Arabia and came into the Mesopotamia with the Semitic Akkadians and their Semitic relatives.


Sumerians predate the Semites by thousands of years.


At the times of Leyla-Tepe, the Semites didn't even exist!


Sumerians also predate the Andronovo monkeys by thousands of years.


Indo-Iranian can't be from Andronovo, since proto-Indo-Iranian had an ergativity construction in it. While native languages in Central Asia (and even in the Western Steppes) don't have any ergativity. Turkic, Uralic, Finnic and even LATE Yamnaya-PIE languages didn't have any ergativity.

While Indo-Iranian (modern Kurdish, Indic etc.) had (have) ergativity. So the Indo-Iranian language didn't evolve in the Steppes or in Central Asia, but in WEST Asia! Because there is also an ergativity in the Caucasian languages.



Ergativity in the region is only NATIVE to Indo-Iranian and Caucasian languages and both groups belong as we know now to ancient CHG folks. With other words ancient Indo-Iranian was closely connected to the ancient CHG folks on the Iranian Plateau/Zagros Mountains!


+ Ancient native Iranian religions are related to Sumerians (ancient Mesopotamia) and the Iranian Palateau/Zagros Mountains (Leyla-Tepe).


Even according to the ancient Zoroastrian East Iranian texts, Aryans were NATIVE to the Iranian Plateau. Those texts never mentioned places outside the Iranian Plateau.

http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/32237-Birthplace-of-Zarathustra?highlight=zoroastrianism



So:

1) ancient Kurdish (Indo-Iranian) language is related to the Iranian Plateau, due to ergativity.
2) ancient Kurdish (Indo-Iranian) religion (the Yezidism) is related to the Zagros Mountains/Mesopotamia, due to the Sumerian connection. Even Zoroastrianism is related to West Asia.
3) ancient Kurdish (Indo-Iranian) DNA (CHG) is related to the Iranian Plateau/Zagros Mountains!

Also , anatolia , spoke no semitic, .............the hatti , Hittite and Luwian ( any any othe rminor ones ) where non-semitic


with this, anatolia and south-caucasus show not be referred to as the middle-east

No offence but you really don't know the situation in Kurdistan and the middle-east first hand like I or other Kurdish members do. It cannot be compared to Greeks fighting the Ottomans back in the 19th century. Since we Kurds didn't have support of the British and Russian empire, like how you did.

Second you yourself haven't partaken in any of thos rebellions, albeit you weren't born then. None the less you cannot talk as if you would fight but not have the military experience yourself.

That isn't even true. J2 appeared in the middle-east some 22,000 years ago. The semitic sub-race/linguistic groups didn't even exist at that time.

Haplogroup J2 is thought to have appeared somewhere in the Middle East towards the end of the last glaciation, between 15,000 and 22,000 years ago. The oldest known J2 sample at present comes from Kotias Klde in Georgia and dates from c. 9700 BCE (Jones et al. (2015)), confirming that haplogroup J2 was already found around the Caucasus during the Mesolithic period. Its present geographic distribution argue in favour of a Neolithic expansion from the Fertile Crescent. This expansion probably correlated with the diffusion of domesticated of cattle and goats (starting c. 8000-9000 BCE) from the Zagros mountains and northern Mesopotamia, rather than with the development of cereal agriculture in the Levant (which appears to be linked rather to haplogroups G2 and E1b1b). A second expansion of J2 could have occured with the advent of metallurgy, notably copper working (from the Lower Danube valley, central Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia), and the rise of some of the oldest civilisations.

t is very likely that J2a, J1 and G2a were the three dominant male lineages the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes culture, which expanded from the South Caucasus to eastern Anatolia, northern Mesopotamia and the western Iran. From then on, J2 men would have definitely have represented a sizeable portion of the population of Bronze and Iron Age civilizations such as the Hurrians, the Assyrians or the Hittites. It is very possible that bronze technology spread from the South Caucasus across the Iranian plateau until the Indus Valley, giving rise to the Harappan Civilisation (see below).

What you told me, I've heard also many times from my family members. So, I'm 100% sure you meant it good.


But there is one thing. The only opportunity for me to be in Kurdistan is to fight for PKK or to fight for Ezdi Kurds in Shengal. At this moment they need me there only as a 'soldier'.

But the problem is, I'm not a soldier/warrior. I've family members who fight with PKK against the Turkic Muslims (DAESH) and Arab Muslims (DAESH) on the frontline. So my family is doing its duty. And there are 50 million Kurds, so I'm sure that among those 50 million Kurds there are many million natural born warriors much better than me who are willing to fight.

At this moment, as a NON-Muslim, it's very dangerous for me to be in Kurdistan. I think I would be dead within 1 week. Less than 2 years ago, Sunni Muslims committed a GENOCIDE on my people! I'm contributing to Kurdistan my 'own' way and as long I do exist I will continue contribute to Kurdistan.

After the war Kurdistan needs intellectuals (high educated people) and people who will rebuild Kurdistan from the ashes. But don't think that my family doesn't give blood for Kurdistan, we did and we still do!



And soon we wil be victorious! Turanic Turks and Turkey are almost defeated. They will go back to the Altai, where they are from and do belong. It is just a matter of time..
 
True. CHG ancestry in Yamnaya Horizon came from Caucasus/Maykop. But there was a migration from the Iranian Plateau (Leyla-Tepe) into the Maykop. There is an archeological evidence for it.



I mean 'genetically' proto-Kurds. Kurds are native to the Zagros Mountains and Kurdish DNA didn't change much since the ancient times, the last thousands of years.

The only difference between proto-Kurds of Zagros Mountains and modern Kurds is that the modern Kurds got also a lot of 'Anatolian' DNA from the ancient times.


I read this thread bit by bit by lack of time. Before making conclusions I try to understand some points. Helas I have not at hand a survey about Maykop auDNA. I have a metric comparisons of crania by Kazarnitsky 2010 from diverse cultures of the Maykop period and other cultures of the Steppes or surroundings. In his plotting based upon principal componants he puts Maykop of Novosvobonaya
 
Sorry:it's following:
... He puts Maykop Novosvobodnaya somewhat at the opposite of 2 people of Caucasus (Ginchi Dagestan and Samtavro Georgia) and closer to two Turkmenistan sites: Karadepe and Geoksyur, concerning one axis; closer yes but it stays a borderline. On the other axis, it's true, all these sites are on the same side. As a whole he finds that the most of Maykop people are rather 'mediterraneanlike' roughly said and are distinct from all the diverse Pit Grave and Catacombes groups of Russia, Ukraina, N-E Caucasus (Kalmykia) taken as a mean what does not exclude some slight admixture in some cases. I say: "distinct" doesn't mean: "absolutely without any genealogical link". For him, Maykop was at first imported by demic process and not acculturation. It remains that his Maykop is globally closer to some of the Catacombes and Pit Graves groups than to the 2 Caucasus ones! Still we have the question of geographical origin of Maykop people. Why are they not closer to contemporaneous Caucasus population? New populations arrived more recently into Caucasus? Heavier imput of the high statured 'east-mediterranean' type in Maykop people? People from the metallic-agricultural complex of BMAC passed through South Caspian westwards into N-W Caucasus? Were the Zagros people OF THE TIME of the same human precise sub-stock?
I already said I think ligneages to developpe and diversify need number and space (separation, drifts, founder effects ...). Zagros cannot provide all that and create 5 or 6 great Y ligneages, mixed at first, and segregate them on place and send them towards every corner of the world, all that in a short while... So I'm "perplexe".
An East Caspian (rather Southeast?) impulse (which could explain the heavy presence of R1b and R1a at some stages in I-E history) and a two ways FIRST dispersion (South and North the Caspian) could MAYBE resolve the question of the 2 Y-R1B-L23 separated ligneages "sons"? The 'gedrosia' phantom in North(west)ern European populations could also have its explanation here? I think R1a (even Z93)in fact was rather in middle-east of the Steppes before getting South-West in Iran... the steppic auDNA of their more Western cousins could explain the lack of 'gedrosia' in today Baltic-N-Slavic populations, knowing this component was already greatly erased among R1b predecessors during their expansion for the same reasons.
Sorry. I think at loud voice!

Brother you are wrong. You forgot these studies?


" He questioned the resemblance between the Maikop crania from Evdyk I and those from Syezzheye and Zadono-Avilovsky; and he believed the former to resemble crania from the Caucasus, the Near East, and Southwestern Central Asia, being closest to those from Samtavro, Georgia, and Ginchi, Dagestan (Khokhlov, 2002).

T.I. Alekseyeva (2004) measured a male skull from mound 13 burial 5 at Nezhinskaya near Kislovodsk (the plastic reconstruction of this individual’s appearance was made by L.T. Yablonsky), as well as two crania (male and female) from mound 70 burial 1 at Zamankul in Northern Ossetia. All these crania came from “Maikop– Novosvobodnaya” burials and were attributed to the Mediterranean variety of the Southern Caucasoid type which was distributed in Armenia, Georgia, Iran, and Mesopotamia during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age. The heterogeneity of the Maikop group in Alexeyeva’s opinion may be due to individual variability, but also to admixture with the natives of the southeastern European steppes (Alekseyeva, 2004).

In sum, the results of the multivariate analysis suggest that Maikop people are distinct from all the contemporary and later Eastern European groups of the steppe and forest-steppe zones. This provides an additional argument in favor of the hypothesis that Maikop burials in Kalmykia attest not merely to the cultural impact of the Maikop community on the steppe tribes (Munchaev, 1994: 168); rather, they were left by a separate group which was unrelated to the local Pit Grave population by origin. The Southern Caucasoid trait combination revealed by the Maikop series is somewhat similar to that shown by the contemporaneous groups of the Northern Caucasus and southern Turkmenia. Clearly, this does not imply a direct connection with any of these regions.

However, the isolated position of the Maikop group in Eastern Europe, its vague resemblance to the Southern Caucasoids of the Caucasus and Southwestern Central Asia, and the Near Eastern cultural affinities of Maikop and Novosvobodnaya (Munchaev, 1994: 170) indirectly point to Near Eastern provenance.

" Uruk migrants in the Caucasus

During this period the South Caucasus experienced two powerful waves of Middle Eastern expansion: the first at the time of Late Neolithic culture of Sioni in the 4th-5th millennia B.C., and the second at the period of Tsopi culture in the Late Neolithic Age, at the end of the 5th and the first half of the 4th millennium B.C., which is known as the Uruk expansion era. Later, in the second half of the 4th and throughout the 3 rd millennium B.C., during the Early Bronze Age the Kura-Araxes culture of the Caucasus spread throughout the greater part of the Caucasus, Eastern Anatolia, northern parts of Iran, Middle East and even Europe.

There are also very much archeological evidences. But they are talking links between Uruk (Sumerian) and Maykop, while it's actually Leyla-Tepe on the Iranian Plateau that influenced Uruk and Maykop, we have also got evidence for that.

Maybe Maykop was not 100% CHG, but it was for a huge, huge (greatest) part CHG, not only native to Caucasus but also a lot CHG from the Iranian Plateau / Zagros Mountains (Leyla-Tepe). I'm sure we would consider those Maykop folks as 'Iranid' (Aryan) today...

Not sure about J, since J2 and J1 is also very, very high in the Caucasus. Nobody is sure about J



But R1 is 100%, no 1000% from the Iranian Plateau. EVERY scholar agrees on that.


I'm R1a*, my Y-DNA hg. R1a* is 100% NATIVE to my homeland!



According to EVERY academic study on R1, R1 is from West Asia and more precisely from the Iranian Plateau

Original R1 was linked to CHG, full of ANE, full of Caucaso-Gedrosia



Here info from the 23andme DNA company.

Later, in the second half of the 4th andthroughout the 3 rd millennium B.C., during the Early Bronze Age theKura-Araxes culture of the Caucasus spread throughout the greaterpart of the Caucasus, Eastern Anatolia, northern parts of Iran,Middle East and even Europe. "
Moesansays : the « climbing northwards » of someNear-Eastern people (Uruk?), proved by archeology atleast at the cultural level, could explain the less typically'west-asian' ('gedrosia'?) aspect and surely autosomal inheritage ofsome Caucasus populations (lost of a part of ancient CHG?). I see(guess) rather the Kura-Araxes people as linked to East caspian, moreCHG and less « near-eastern-drifted » and cause of theMaykop people situation. Other itching question : areKura-Araxes people PIE-speaking : nothing less sure !...So, were Maykop people the PIE language promotors ???
Idon't find back the abstract I red and the two axis plotting I've athand on paper, but I verified it and confirm my post, whatever thevalue of sorts of things (I think they have some worth concerningpopulation in close enough place and time). Here under a smallestabstract confirming that even if close enough compared to more remoteplaces, Caucasus is not identical to Maykop.
Samefor Turkmenistan places, spite I insist on his plotting they werecloser to Maykop. I don't know how to interprete his « parallels… to the Near East » in this precise phrase. A generalstatement about 'mediterranean' vague resemblances ?

KAZARNITSKY 2010 -

the archeological links between successive populations doesn't prove tight genetic connexions. But it's true Grigoryev linked archeology of 2000BC and subsequent Steppes to southeastern Caspian, linking this last archeologic region to Mesopotamia North Near-Ëast previous stages: difficult to say when and where to link OR NOT to link archeological artefacts to ethnicity. Always the same problem and it's the cause of my prudence.
Goga, I seriously NEED the scientific data concerning your constant affirmations of Y-R1 born in Iranian plateau or, why not, Zagros. I'm not very found of this kind of affirmations: have you found EDEN? Some conclusions about "variance" old calculations and branching dates deserves more caution.
