Caucasus peoples genetics?

[TheForeigner]

The Caucasus peoples were considered the benchmark for the Caucasian race, which was named after them. Not sure why anthropologists considered them to be the most representative or the purest and best looking. But do Caucasus peoples have any non-Caucasoid admixture?

Depends on what you call non white, i pm u my admixture

[Marmara]

It's believed Caucasian race was evolved in Caucasia that's why it's called Caucasian, not because Kavkaz people are the most attractive.

I said I mean non-Caucasoid only. So basically SSA, Mongoloid and South Asian or ASI.

I score some turkic, ssa and south asian on some calculators but nothing big

They weren't considered the benchmark for the Caucasoid race. The race was named after them because the oldest Caucasoid skull was discovered in Georgia and it was believed that the Caucasoid race originated in the Caucasus.

They have some mongoloid, especially the Turkic-speaking groups like Kumyks and Balkars. The South Asian is rather negligible, below 5% on Dodecad, which is one of the best calculators to detect South Asian admixture in my opinion.

@Foreigner, you've literally flooded me with this kind of questions. Are these people white, are these people caucasoid, how much South Asian do these people have and so on. Calm down please. I know no more than many other people here.

Yes, sorry about that, But how did South Asian admixture got out of India and into Caucasus or elsewhere? I am not aware of any migrations from India, except recently to the West and the Gypsies in older times.

How much Mongoloid do they have?

both partially

the beauty thing is from Johann Friedrich Blumenbach

"humans were first created in this area – Blumenbach believed that Homo Sapiens had been created in a single region and had then spread over the globe. Because of Blumenbach's obsession with Georgian "beauty," the word "Caucasian" became a "scientific" synonym for "white."

"Caucasian variety. I have taken the name of this variety from Mount Caucasus, both because its neighborhood, and especially its southern slope, produces the most beautiful race of men, I mean the Georgian; ..."



on topic : Foreigner . at least for Georgians and Armenians I can say so far running them through gedmatch calcs that georgians are basically about 97-99% caucasoid (more are in the upper range) and Armenians are not much behind that and similar percentage just slightly less
