Going by this Turks aren’t Turkic. Anyways, the Scythians in West Eurasia were Iranic although the “Scythian” towards the east probably were assimilated Turkics or just bilingual Turkic peoplesQuote:

The language they talked was not for sure.
In fact we dont know even if it was only one language.
nope. only Euro-Mongoloid skulls.Quote:

Btw oldest Scythian graves were found in Tuva, and they were 35-55% Mongoloid. Their aDNA is entirely Turkic. This fits actually to Herodots claim that Scythians originated beyond the Jaxartes.Quote:

Scythians were absolutely not Turkic, linguistically, genetically, culturally, racially. None of these things even existed when Scythians first appeared. We also have no idea whether or not this DNA is Mongoloid, just because it is concentrated in Mongoloids today doesn't make it Mongoloid.
For the first and last time. Oldest Scythian graves are from Tuva 9th c. BC, they were 35-55% Mongoloid and racially of mixed Euro-Mongoloid type. Pazyrykians descended from these Turco-Mongol steppe barbarians. They all, without any exception, score entirely Turkic on aDNA gedmatch results.Quote:

This is only one GEDmatch kit numbers. I'm sure they will vary.
I knew I was smarter than most members in this forum.Quote:

Seriously it's such a easy logic even I figured it out in a short time.

Northern Uyghurs have only 30-47% European admixture which they didn't include ( btw European in this study means west Eurasians from west asian, european, southwest asian, caucasus ect )
Uyghur genetics
KK (2009). "Genetic Landscape of Eurasia and "Admixture" in Uyghurs". American Journal of Human Genetics. 8
" various scientific studies differ on the size of each component.[129] One study, using samples from Hetian (Hotan) only, found that Uyghurs have 60% European ancestry and 40% East Asian ancestry.[130] A further study showed slightly greater European component (52% European) in the Uyghur population in southern Xinjiang, but slightly greater East Asian component (47% European) in the northern Uyghur population.[131] Another study used a larger sample of individuals from a wider area, and found only about 30% European component to the admixture.[132] "
TURKMEN DNA GENETIC VARIATION IS A LOT MORE LARGER THAN THAT GRAPH HAD SHOWN. Mongoloid DNA can be over 50% in some Turkmen aswell. You can see some Turkmen tribe look very Mongoloid like the Tekke Turkmen and other Turkmen tribes while the Turkmen living in a historically Iranian city in Turkmenistan have a much lower Mongoloid although some look like they have high aswell.
