Uzbeks and kazakhs look very different actually... Not even same race

[Odelia]

Geez this look, it's like every old central Asian man looks like that...almost like he's a clone!

I don't think even that's an uzbek lol looks like a Tajik .

From my little experience, Kazakh could look anything from Arab to Asian to even British looking.

The weird thing is that when they look Asian, they tend to look very Japanese. Some Kazakh I could really mistake for Japanese, which rarely happens with, say, Chinese.

"Nice observation" lol

Kazakhs look from fully Mongol to half Mongol. That's about it. Half of the population can't be distinguish from the Mongols and the other half look like a mix of different Caucasian ethnicities + Mongol.
The Uzbeks are a lot more diverse...they can range from Afghan/Iranid/Tajik to Kazakh looking.

He might be a Tajik from Uzbekistan perhaps?

If he was Afghan I would also think he is Tajik rather than Pashtun.

i based that on the Kazakh national team who had at the time of my comment well marked types but turns out the more western looking players were imports from Ukraine.

What about kazakh genetic? What is their Caucasoid element? Is it iranic?

As a Central Asian, it all depends on the individual. From my experience, many kazakhs can pass in all of Northern Asia, including korea and japan. Some have lighter features and look like Uralic peoples, and others look like their southern neighbours like Uzbeks. Speaking of Uzbeks, it also depends on the individual. Most uzbeks are about half east asian admixed, and half caucasoid (iranic). Some of my family members can pass as Kyrgyz while others look Persian.

Uzbeks and Kazakhs don't necessarily look vastly different, it's just that Uzbeks have more Iranic influence. Most Central Asians still look similar. Kazakhs and Kyrgyz have similar phenotypes, often with 70-80% E Asian admixture. Same for Uzbeks and Uyghurs who have similar phenotypes and are 35-60+ E Asian admixture. Turkmens are slightly under the former group, and Tajiks are below Turkmens.

Central Asians are very diverse, and I've noticed the differences can be pretty big within the Uzbek, Turkmen and Kyrgyz population.

People dont realize that many "uzbeks" aren't ethnic uzbeks, but just Persians who's labelled as Uzbek by nationality. Especially the city people of Samarkand, Bukhara and Tashkent.
All these are Persian cities, and the habitants are "Tajiks/persians" that are genetically closer to east iranian Persians and north afg Persians than most actual ethnic uzbeks.

Prior to the Russians, there were no such thing as "Uzbekistan" or "Tajikistan". We had Bukhara emirate. The majority of the city people back in 19th century and also today, are simply Persians/tajiks. Turks were mostly outside the cities, nomadic


This isnt to say there arent mixed uzbeks and mixed Tajiks. Some Tajiks gets 20% East Asian and looks turkics, and some uzbeks do too and looks Chechen even. Some are even partially indian in the cities.

But ethnic uzbeks are often 40% East Asian, while tajiks are like 15%. Some tajiks gets down to 6-8% East Asian only

Depends. Sometimes its eastern european from recent colonization times, other times its Iranic. Often Iranic though. There's also a strong component thats often labeled as part of the Iranic sphere, but actually just general Indo European.
