Afghan DNA discussion

Carrying the discussion from here

I will post later today.

One thing I'll note is that my observations seem to be correct once again, if pashtuns ( from both Pakistan and Afghanistan) are pretty much levantines levels of pigmentation ( genetically speaking ) but lighter in eye pigmentation, then that means Tajiks( mountain actual Tajiks ), Nuristanis and Pashayis should theoretically be EVEN lighter than levantines. Although I do believe pashtuns in general carry the highest amount of alleles for lighter eyes, especially in the central Highland and northeastern pashtuns. ( Paktia, Paktika, Wardak,Kabul, Laghman, Khost, Logar, Nangarhar, Waziristan).

I think it should be obvious that none of them are homogeneous. In my opinion the most important questions are why does more than 50% of Afghan population have R1A (they admit, it could be more) and why are there some examples in different tribes who are very Nordic. Either they were part of an ancient Indus Valley civilisation (possibly Arkaim was part of that) or they were left behind by the ancestors of Goths and Venedovians.

Because they directly descend from R1a who looked like this

No, this is not a European man, he's from a the succeeding Andronovo cultures in central Asia, most likely around late bronze age times.

I don't believe in the stories of "Sintashta culture" "Andronovo culture" "Corded Ware" "Hunter Gatherer" "Yamnaya culture"

None of that is reliable and is mostly scholars supporting one another's theories and just diversions.

"Bronze Age" is another fake term.

Then it's going to be very difficult to discuss with someone who won't believe this, but proposes a theory about Goths ending up in Afghanistan and the reason for why some look Nordic. Afghanistan is not north Africa or levant, where the crusaders, Romans, Vandals etc left a footprint in the region.

I said "ancestors of"

And actually the word "Goth" is very ancient and is a Sumerian word.

You are coming up with all sorts of theories when the blaring obvious fact is that Afghanistan is home to Aryan descendants.
