why Saudi Arabians are the most Purest Middle easterners in autosomal studies?

[Shepherd]

Saudi Arabians dont score high West Asian at all actually, more like Southwest Asian

what's the difference between west asian and southwest asian? aren't they the same shit ?

"West Eurasian" doesn't mean anything anymore. There is no ancestral West Eurasian component anymore for now, what links "West Eurasian populations" (Europeans, Middle Easterners and North Africans) is the common Ancient Near Eastern ancestry which is a mix of unknown hunter-gatherers and Basal Eurasian. Other ancestral populations are also shared to an extent by some West Eurasians such as Western Hunter-Gatherer ancestry, Ancient North Eurasian ancestry, African ancestry of different types, East Asian (or Siberian) or South Asian ancestry.

anyway saudi arabians and bedouins are nearly 100% west asian (southwest asian), they're less influenced by SSA and south asian/East Asian than levantines and other west asian populations including jews of Isreal.

so they're the most purest indigenous west asian according to Lazarids.

West Asian is usually a mix of ancient Near Eastern (Basal Eurasian + unknown but WHG-like hunter-gatherer) and minor but substantial Ancient North Eurasian (post-Neolithic migrants in Western Eurasia). Southwest Asian is usually plain Near Eastern (hybrid of Basal Eurasian + Unknown hunter-gatherer) with minor Ancestral East African.

so southwest asian is partially SSA?

^ It often is, yes. If a Saudi is 100% Southwest Asian, it means he created a component centered on himself and other inbred Saudis.

Arabians are indigenous to Arabia and nowhere else. They are not pure, just like all modern populations on this planet, since they are genetically a mix of Ancestral East Africans, Ancient North Eurasians, Basal Eurasians and Unknown Hunter-Gatherers.

Turks for example are 25% to 12% Non-caucasoid according to the Autosomal (mostly mongoloid turkic around 15%)
Lebanese are 9% african admixed according to Decoded and about 22% total admixture of Non caucasoid Genes from south asians /East Asians/ Central and East Eurasians.

while saudi arabians are only 6% non caucasoid admixed including (SSA/South asians /East Asians/ Central and East Eurasians) !

how it's possible?

1. For Turks because Turks moved to, and Turkified Irano-Armenians, from Central Asia. How is this a surprise?

2. You're incorrect about Saudis:
