Which Indo-Iranian country has the most amount of European ancestry?

[викторслава]

from the little research i have done i think it may be Afghanistan, but what do you guys think?

[Kyp]

Tajikistan, although Indo-European would be the better word

[Rethel]

I also would say Afghanistan.

But among stateless groups, there are better candidates.


Tajikistan, although Indo-European would be the better word

Why?

Stereotypical Tajik is rather dark, and they have at best 38-44% of Indoeuropeans,
comparing to quite fair stereotypical Afghan and over 50-60% of Indoeuropeans.

[Avicenna]

Afghanistan. But I agree with kyp, better word to use is Indo European . The only tajiks that have as much or higher Indo European than average afghans are pamiris , who live right on the border of Afghanistan/Tajikstan .

[Altaylı]

Probably Tajiks

[CommonSense]

Pretty clear that it's Tajikistan if you look at the population averages.

[tipirneni]

Some Pamiris might have higher ANE which might be close to Europeans than proper Tajiks.

It's not a state.

Generally yes , but that's a region within Afghanistan / tajikstan . I've seen individuals from khost/ paktia ( eastern Afghanistan ) with similar levels .

[Avicenna]

Pamir region of Tajikistan/China

Pamir is within tajikstan/ Afghanistan not China as far as I know .

Afaik Pamiris live in China as well but in germs of Geography you may be correct

Some Pashtuns are pretty high in Steppe. Also Chitralis.

I really wanna see some results from Taxkorgan (Sarikol). There are over 40,000 Pamirs in the PRC.

According Global 25, apart from the Kalash which have 25-30% Indo-European but also mixed with Dravidians and other hybrid races, most have 20% or even less Indo-European, which is very little for so-called " true Aryans " (spoil: they are not).

People here don't understand the fact that inheriting certain European genes when you have 20-30% (in the case of kalash) makes perfect sense, it doesn't mean that they are purely European! Some Ashkenazi looks or have europeans traits, because it's a hybrid population (but a little bit less that Indians and other), so you have some europeans genes...

In addition, when the population is not large (3000 for the Kalash for example), it is sometimes easier to perpetuate the recessive traits, even if in the end we see that in many Kalash there are strange no-europeans traits, some look like gypsies (70% of their genetic make-up are non-European, so it's normal to see a lot of these traits).

this is most likely it now that i think about it

Who the fuck says they are pure Europeans? That's something your troubled mind came up with. There are no pure Aryans today. And by the way, the Kalash have less Steppe ancestry than the Pamiris.
Considering the time period when the Aryans existed and today's geographic location of Indo-Iranics 30% Steppe is actually quite a big chunk of Aryan blood.

Like someone said, South Ossetia.


Pamir is within tajikstan/ Afghanistan not China as far as I know .

Well, there're Sarikolis and Wakhis in Tashkorgan, Xinjiang.

Stears model with tightest fit on Vahaduo is 90% Hungarian and 10% Yaghnobi, who are supposedly very "Aryan admixed" for south-central Asia.
