Also you just can't jump from the Bronze Age to the present without going through the Iron Age. There were no pure Andronovans or Sintashtans in the Iron Age. Therefore the steppe admixture in Persians and Kurds and other Iranics and R1a that was introduced in the Iron Age and later must have been by Alans, Sakas, Scythians and other Iron Age groups and also by some more recent migrations from the steppe.
Anyone with half a brain can see what the guy at Eurogenes blog and some idiots at Anthrogenica are preaching is bullshit because there were no pure Andronovans and Sintashtans in the Iron Age and especially in the Iran vicinity in the Iron Age. The steppe groups that were in the area in the Iron Age were Alans, Sakas, Scythians and some others. Therefore they are the ones who are relevant.
The reason that the Eurogenes blogger keep pushing Bronze Age groups and pretends that we can jump from the Bronze Age to the present without going through the Iron Age or the Medieval period is because he wants to make it seem that Europeans dominated our Iranic women and conquered us because Andronovo and Sintashta are a little more European than Sakas, Alans and Scythians and other Iron Age and Medieval steppe groups in our area. Even though I would not consider Andronovo and Sintashta as 100% pure European.
