Are Tajik people the descendants of Uralic tribes?

[Oliver109]

Coon spoke about the peoples of Tajikistan often being the descendants of upper paleolithic survivors, as you can see these Saami girls have similar features to lighter Tajiks which suggests a connection ethnically speaking.

the only link between Tajiks and Samis is the shared EHG genes, that Samis have from EHGs directly (EHGs I think spoke Uralic) and Tajiks have from Indo-European Iranics (as IE were mostly EHG + CHG). these two Sami girls don't look Iranic/Tajik either, only Uzbeks in Tajikistan show these traits (or at least mostly them, not Tajiks)

Thanks, Tajiks are varied people, some can pass in the Levant, India, Iran etc while others are almost completely Mongoloid, this allegedly is a Tajik and these are certainly Tajiks

No, Uralic populations have large percentages of N Y-DNA haplogroup.

Tajiks don't have it.

yeah but these don't look at all like the ones in the OP. these girls in your second post pass easily in Romania for example and have no Mongoloid traits. we probably read these traits differently in the East compared to West a bit (Westerners often see some Turkomongol vibe where we don't, for example, maybe we are a bit biased because we do have these traits as native as well, even though in a small percentage of population)

I would say they have minimal Mongol traits, I can post more Mongol influenced ones that look more similar to the Saami if you want but like I said they are a varied group, these are not Pamiris who have more Mediterranean and armenoid influences. One has to remember that Uralic tribes originally wouldn't have had much mongoloid influence, they would have closely resembled the French or Irish i.e cromagnids.
