Genetic results of Scythians and comparisons

https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14615. "Genomic inference reveals that Scythians in the east and the west of the steppe zone can best be described as a mixture of Yamnaya-related ancestry and an East Asian component. Demographic modelling suggests independent origins for eastern and western groups with ongoing gene-flow between them, plausibly explaining the striking uniformity of their material culture. We also find evidence that significant gene-flow from east to west Eurasia must have occurred early during the Iron Age."

Who exactly were they anyway. It seems as though the Slavs called them that which basically means nomad or wanderer still today, for example Russian “skitalec”, but what did they call themselves.

They were an Iranic group who spoke an eastern Iranian language and genetically were like a mix of Yamnaya-like Dna and east Eurasian DNA, they were steppe nomads. The western Scythians were more west Eurasian genetically and were certainly ethnic Scythians that spoke Scythian whilst the eastern ones were really east Eurasian genetically making some believe that they were just Altai people that had come under "Scythian" as an umbrella term but the two had gene-flow and shared a similar or the same material-culture

They were a mix of Iranics and Mongoloids




Bastardized race and uncivilized nomads , people here speak very highly for them when in reality were garbage

They were a mix of Iranics and Mongoloids.

With East Iranians being Iranified Turkics at place 4 at aDNA results.
