Are Pashtuns closer to North Indians or Kurds?

[Myanthropologies]

I mean most of South Asia has foreign DNA due to ANI being so crucial.

But Iranian people? They're Iranic but not Iranian.

Most of their history is shared with Iranians and their culture is very Iranian like. I go to university with a huge chunk of Middle Easterners, and the afghans all fit in with the middle easterners. The south asians don't really interact with them that much. The south asians are all Bengalis, Sri Lankans, Indians, and Pakistanis.

Many Pakistanis I meet with interact with both Indians and Middle Easterners, well at least just those that are Islamic. But not even Pashtuns? Pak and Afgh Pahstuns are the same.

Of course they are, but I've never met many Pakistani Pashtuns. Most of the ones I've met are afghan. That is not to say that some indians aren't familiar. But between kurds, I would say afghans feel closer to them than they do to any indians. And they are look wise closer to Kurds than they are to indians too. I mean, there's a shit load of Afghans and Kurds in the persian student association here, they all obviously feel more connection than people assume.

Could you explain why you were banned from AG?

Because the administrators there are biased, that's why. It is clear that many of them have agendas. They would break the so called rules all the time, but if someone said something they didn't like, they got annoying.

Anyways, I took a bit of a break from anthropology internet forms to regain my sanity and go back to the person I was. I've transferred to a new university and have met a lot of new people and learned a lot of new things. I was a bit immature on the internet, but now I've changed and I'm more interested in culture rather than this dna stuff people are hooked on. I want to become a biomedical anthropologist and eventually a professor.

Interesting! The Punjabi Jat sample has more Baltic than the Afghan Pathan and more North Atlantic than the Kurdish person according to these samples. LOL

It would be interesting to compare them through nMonte.

As an ethnic Kurd (of Kurdic race) I don't feel related to Pashtuns.

That is because (South)Central Asia has more Scythian/Steppes ancestry than Kurdistan. Nothing special about it..
