There are no Persian reference data afaik. There are Iranian samples who happen to be closer to Turks than north Kurds are. North Kurds should actually be closer to Turks considering they are abit Turcoman-admixed. The only explanation is that Iranian sample isn't Persian or at least not fully but heavily Turkic-admixed person possibly even Azerbaijani.

I think it depends on the calculator also
for example the kurdish samples on gedrosia calculators are very dubious . I dont get them even in top 10 on some calculators there wtf
I guess the iranian samples also vary . I do think a lot of the samples are persian though . however likely not from the south or east that one is for sure because east iranians have a different shift if I remember right (I have seen such a result)

I'm sorry, but this is some of dumbest stuff I've read in a while. Bro, selection pressures and mutational adaptations have nothing to do with a fixed/predetermined amount of time. Various branches of fauna exhibit radically different gestation and adaptation rates, so it's fallacious to try and equate their cycles to ours and vice versa. Take for example some species of bacteria in a petri dish: Their selection pressures (exposure to substance with antibacterial properties) and subsequent adaptation can take as little as a couple of days, no need for millions of years.
Nope. Comparing the brightest, highly stratified group of immigrants with the average of their host society = Bad reasoning. Just because a 100 IQ Nigerian immigrates to the U.S. doesn't negate the fact that the AVERAGE Nigerian still scores around 70 in terms of IQ.

We aren't bacteria though, we're mammals. The life history traits of mammals tend to be something between K and R selection, whereas bacteria are one of the few species that are strictly R shifted. They put all their energy into making abundant offspring and reproduce at younger ages, where as humans are larger, and put more of their energy into their own development instead of producing more offspring. Clearly humans and bacteria aren't under the same selection pressures, otherwise humans would be mutating as much as bacteria do. This is why divergence in mammals, especially divergence due to secular dispersal ONLY causes major genetic differences over millions of years.
And comparing the "brightest" Nigerian immigrants is fair because they have access to the same things upper class whites in America do, whereas in Nigeria they obviously don't. You can't compare upper class westerners to people in environments of developing countries. I don't understand why you believe that it is more fair to compare people in developing country conditions/poverty to upper class westerners than it is to compare them to black people in the same environmental conditions as the westerners. Your logic makes no sense at all. Just because they're "average," doesn't rule out the fact that their environmental factors are largely different.

I may be a liberal, but im educated in the field of biology and I'm a 4th year student at one of America's best public universities. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. My politics are shaped around my knowledge of science and society, NOT the other way around like you're implying.
