Peoples of Middle East

[Zeus]

The whole broad racial family theory is quite absurd to me. wherever the line is drawn, it will never make sense...

Just separating Mid East into its own racial category, one would have to argue that Turks are more related to Omanis than to Bulgarians or Greeks. If separating MENA in its own thing then that's even more crazy because you'd have to argue that Moroccans are more related to Iranians than to Spaniards. I find that to be Lunacy - certainly not scientific

[Babak]

Neighboring countries are more similiar to each other. Lets just put it that way.

[Nassbean]

Egypt is middle east, Libya is not.

Have you seen libyan results to say this ?? In my case i've seen a lot and most of them are arab especially eastern libyans

[Pine]

Despiteful.

Anti-racist Antifa can't handle being related to other MENAs. (BTW, your YDNA is shared with every Semite)

Excuse me meson, but what kind of absurd statement is this... Caucasians and Middle Easterners have nothing to do with horse breeders from Central Asia. Middle East and Caucasus were cradles of many great civilizations,on the other hand, only thing that Central Asians are known for is pillaging, nothing but nomads with no contribution to the mandkind.

Central Asians today have plenty of Persian blood - that's the connection, never mind cultural and religious overlaps.

I hope your not including Afghans In this absurd statement of yours

You can argue that some West Asian populations have ties to Central Asians, but that doesn't mean that other West asian populations have ties to Central Asia. It's ridiculous, almost as much as this bs "MENA" label.

You can also argue how would a person from Northern Iran or caucasus have anything in common with someone from Oman. Turks from Turkey have more in common with their turkic brethren than a Bedouin arab in the gulf. Central Asia is very close to caucasus culturally too. If ulj include tajiks and pamiris, Pashtuns, yaghnobis etc they also have Ties genetically with people from the caucasus.

My Y-DNA originates in the Central Asian steppe, brought to Iran and Anatolia with Iranian speakers of the Andronovo culture, just because some distant cousin passed from there some millenia ago doesn't make me a Semite. My subclade matches are all Turks, Azeris, Armenians, Swiss, Italians, Iranians and Tajiks, don't get any Jew or Arab matches. Also i don't have any problems with any race, i was referring to the whitesplaning in the cartograph.

That's exactly my point. It'd be idiotic to throw people from the Caucasus into a category along with Omanis. Which makes it even more idiotic to group everyone from Morocco to Afghanistan in one bullshit category. It literally makes zero sense. At that point, you may as well include South Asia and East Asia in the mix as well.

Your deeper subclade, sure. Bronze Age though, it's you and a bunch of Semites.
