List countries in West Asia by whether they are phenotypically closer to Egypt or North Caucasus

[cyberlorian]

In my opinion:

Egypt
Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrein, United Arab Emirates.

Intermediate
Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel.

North Caucasus
Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia.

[Kivan]

I agree.

[Hadouken]

I agree too

but Iraq should be with Egypt

[Kamal900]

As a Palestinian, I agree with your assessment.

[Tooting Carmen]

I agree too

but Iraq should be with Egypt

And Israel with the North Caucasus (at least if you exclude the Palestinian Territories, at any rate).

[The Blade]

Closer to North Caucasus - Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran
Intermediate - Israel, Lebanon
Closer to Egypt - all the rest

[cyberlorian]

Closer to North Caucasus - Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran
Intermediate - Israel, Lebanon
Closer to Egypt - all the rest

Why is not Iran intermediate?

I suspect Isreal would be closer genetically to the north caucases due to European admixture.

I suspect Isreal would be closer genetically to the north caucases due to European admixture.

But they also have Northeast African admixture.
