"Turks don't have blondism genes" -Eupator

[Hektor12]

I require a "sane" approach for this. I believe we have people with good genetic knowledge around here.


Blonde Turks have Balkan and Slavic ancestry, just like Greeks.

Turks are a West Asian people with a gradient forming a triangle between the Aegean, the Iran-Caucasus and the Levant, with a minor East Asian element thrown in.

Acting like they have some sort of hidden blondism genes that make them look like West Euros (like the girl in the OP) is peak embarrassment.

[placebo]

first, wtf is blondism gene?

second, this girl doesn't have any balkan or slavic influence on her genetic but she has blonde hair.

idk they are trolling or serious. ok you don't want to see turkey in europe and we don't have any desire want to be a part of your fucking europe but lying is very embarrassing.

[Beowulf]

Yes, turks can be blonde and still even having a western asian phenotype they share genes with us and perfectly they can be blonde.

[Cristiano viejo]

Eupator is right. Blonde "Turks" are just Greeks living in Anatolia.

No, since you already are not blonde.

No I am not. Greeks are obviously much lighter than Turks, and blondism there come from the first. Or do you think Gengis Khan was blonde?

[Hektor12]

No, since you already are not blonde.

But there are people in my family still blonde in adulthood. And some gingers.

I hate to sound like a wet blanket, but 23andme does merge ancestries. Hence why you don’t see any Slavic dna pop up. From the Turkish samples(g25) that I’ve seen they all have early Slavic DNA.

And I don't think the pigmentation diference between Turks and Greeks are that drastic, obviously the latter, being Euro, has lighter types on average, but the bulk of the population from both countries is dark haired/eyed with a similar skintone.

[Jingle Bell]

Turk can be Blonde? yes
But what is the point of that thread? there blonds in almost every part in th world, why would not have in Turkey?

the point is that dumbs like incal act like only turks with balkan ancestor can have blonde hair.

even in above aa_excellence say all turks have minor early slavic dna. (he claim otherwise he claim only turkified slavs and balkanites can have blonde hair) and now he act like we claim central asians look like nordic or something. in other thread i already said turks are mixed and mixing beggining from central asia. he doesn't even know what he's talking about.

[Blazhe]

The genetic basis of hair color is complex and influenced by multiple genes, as well as environmental factors. While it is true that certain populations in the Balkans and parts of Turkey have a higher frequency of blonde hair compared to other populations, the specific genetic factors underlying this variation are not fully understood.

Historically, the Balkans and parts of Turkey have been influenced by multiple migrations and interactions, including Slavic, Turkic, and other populations, which may have contributed to the genetic diversity and variation observed in these regions. However, it is important to note that physical appearance, including hair color, is a complex trait that cannot be attributed solely to a single genetic or historical factor.

Overall, it is important to recognize and respect the diversity within and across populations, and to avoid making assumptions or judgments based on physical appearance or perceived ancestry.

are u blind? he said all turks have this. this disproves your theory.

but as i said before it's very minor thing as far as i know.

Turk is a nationality, ethno-cultural group, i dont think there is a pure turk race though, but there are blonde turks though obviously.

There are probably many blonde turks, in some decades there might be more blonde turks maybe because they mix with ukranian refugees and russian expats etc.

I dont know how that really works, I mean Im not sure, but I could imagine that if there is a group of slavs in girusun western province of turkey who live there and they have similar dna as her, that she gets that. I dont know if it needs to mean she is not european at all, i mean it says girusun western province of turkey reference but could that mean that some live there who have originally slavic ancestry? Correct me if im wrong.

Theres nothing Slavic in this girl's face. Literal nothing. Look at her eyes and her flat face, almost Japanese level. Turkish-Slavic mix would look like this=

no she doesn't have any slavic admixture. especially that part of turkey have zero euro-like admixture. if she has it would appears in this result and i also saw her gedmatch results, gedmatch is much more detailed and her result are typical for turkish even more mongoloid than other turks.

btw giresun is not in western turkey. they mean western side of giresun. giresun located in northeastern anatolia.

Light hair distribution of Turkish people increases where Balkan Turks are numerous. On the other hand, blondism doesn’t necessarily comes from Balkan or Europe, but neither from Turks from Central Asia. It is probably a pre Turkic heritage, NE-Turkish Laz people with no European nor Turkish genetic admixture are the lightest people in Turkey, also a lot of Lebanese and Syrians (no, they don’t have crusader ancestry) can look „European“. So he isn’t wrong.

It seems the first one who had genes for blond hair was Afontova Gora 3, around 4000 years later than Mal'ta boy (The ANE source of Amerindians) so amerindians wouldn't have that blond hair genes.

Without wanting to add further fuel into the fire and this unfortunate thread, the lightness of NE Anatolia is overblown. Pontics are also native to that part of the world, I'd say their lightness and types are on par with Cretans, who are already a semi-transient group to West Asia.

I think that's where their identity issues stem from. Turks think their nationality is a race when they are some of the most mixed people in the world. No wonder that as a group, they are at the top of the OWD pyramid on this forum only rivaled by chicanos, who (no surprise) also think 'mexican' is a race LMAO it seems Ataturk was a man without ideas, if he had named his country Anatoland or something like that, he'd have spared his subjects a lot of issues and complexes.

I don’t want to be misunderstood, I agreed with you. Also I agree about your point regarding the lightness of of NE Anatolia. You are new in this forum, this thread is nothing compared to other cringe discussions in the past. Some posted Turkish nomads who were blond and connected this to their high Central Asian ancestry, or used old Chinese sources where Turks were described as blond with blue eyes as evidence(which should be questioned). Normally I am out of such discussions about appearance I think it is just humbug, unfortunately I talked about this too until I saw Turks insulting each other as armenoid.

Turks have a fetish, an obsession, you shouldn’t take this thread personally. Last month a Turkish politician became famous because she was blond with blue eyes. Everyone fetishized her and said „why can’t we have such politicians but black sea type politicians.“ I felt disgusted, sometimes I feel ashamed that I have light eyes.

[Eurafricanid]

The blond genes came from ANE, so any group that descended from them could have blonds: Amerindians, North Asians, Caucasians, Europeans, some South Asians, etc.
BTW there are other blonde genes that didn't come from ANE, like the ones present is Australasians.

Other than that no trait can be attributed to a single source , any peoples who carried a trait contributed for it to appear today so the girl you are talking about probably has some blonde Galatians in her tree , Phrygian ones , Roman , Armenian ,Greek , Slav, Turkic ,ANFs etc etc so it's pointless saying it's Turkic ,Greek ,Slavic..it's no different than saying someone who's German ,Czech ,Swedish,British got it from one of them.

Oh come on native Turks from the steppe didn't have light hair / eyes rather it was the Tocharians/ eastern iranic tribes inhabiting those regions who actually did . Those people got displaced and moved further south . Those Turks obviously picked up some genes from those people.

This topic has gotten too long and we cannot come to a conclusion so this is my last post about this.

Nobody convice me that all lighter pigmented Turks are Balkan Turk, Turkified Bosnian, Albanian, product of harem or something similar. You can find blondish person from many ethnicity like Turk, Armenian, Persian even Afghan. That doesn't mean they are assimilated or mixed with European.

One thing that bothers me is the use of language over here , the "even afghan " part when afghans score highest steppe and known for producing light types . But yeah I agree regardless, I was watching this Turkish YouTubers myheritage results and one of the more euro looking types was the most Anatolian person Vs a few Anatolian looking ones who ended up with more greek / Balkan ancestry.

The blonde gene is known as KITLG (rs12821256). A non-coding SNP (rs12821256) located in a region over 350 kb upstream of the KITLG transcription start site is significantly associated with blond hair color in Iceland and the Netherlands. It is virtually absent in Asia but present in the Near East and East Africa at low frequencies.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4704868/bin/nihms732732f1.jpg

A distant regulatory region upstream of the KITLG gene controls hair pigmentation in humans and mice
(a) SNPs on human chromosome 12 are associated with blond hair in Europeans (modified from2). The peak association is found at rs12821256 (red), which is 355 kb upstream of the KITLG transcription start site. (b) The frequency distribution of rs12821256 in different populations. The allele associated with blond hair, G (yellow), is most prevalent in northern Europe. (c) The Slpan allele at the mouse Kitlg locus consists of a 65.6 megabase chromosome inversion (GRCm38/mm10 chr10 breakpoints: 34.301 Mb - 99.916 Mb) that displaces upstream sequences orthologous to rs12821256 (red triangle). Heterozygous (Slpan/+) and homozygous (Slpan/Slpan) mice have lighter coats than control (+/+) animals, demonstrating that alteration of even a single copy of the region upstream of Kitlg can reduce hair pigmentation.

I dont know how that really works, I mean Im not sure, but I could imagine that if there is a group of slavs in girusun western province of turkey who live there and they have similar dna as her, that she gets that. I dont know if it needs to mean she is not european at all, i mean it says girusun western province of turkey reference but could that mean that some live there who have originally slavic ancestry? Correct me if im wrong.

If she had slav genes it would defo show in 23andme

Oh come on native Turks from the steppe didn't have light hair / eyes rather it was the Tocharians/ eastern iranic tribes inhabiting those regions who actually did . Those people got displaced and moved further south . Those Turks obviously picked up some genes from those people.

I didn’t said that Central Asian Turks were blond, I literally said that everyone who claim this is wrong and sources who claim that should be questioned. But I thought I made that clear.
