That's a pretty stupid comment tbh. Who said Europeans? No one said middle easterners either. If you look at the pca plot which I posted above, middle easterners are pretty diverse as well. The bedoiuns, gulf arabs form their own ckuster, levantines cluster with iranians but a pull towards the bedoiun cluster. Do not look at the Pathan plot because it's not representstive of afghans, just like Palestinian gazas are not representative of West Bank Palestinians. The afghans would cluster above the makrani plot with a pull towards Iran and Caucasus, so basically we will form a distinct ckuster, neither west asian nor northwest South. Asia. However, we will be closer to Middle easterners and Caucasians than nearly all South asians.

Btw my mistake, I meant Yemenese not bedoiun. Although the levantines are closer to iranians Kurds than bedoiuns
