almost all of my family members look like Yamnaya people.

just few days ago while studying about yamnaya people i stumbled upon an artical showing facial reconstruction of yamnaya people and i immediately noticed similarities of Yamnaya busts and my family members.

I am a Brahmin and we live in North West India if you guys are wondering, i have written family records that goes back to year 731 and till today my ancestors only married women from other Brahmin castes according to our genealogy.


1) i look 100% like this dude, same facial features.
.

with beard, even our beard looks same.


2) my Great Grandfather looks completely like this guy, 100% similar facial features.


he was a very light skinned and very tall guy(characteristic of yamnaya people) above 6.5" which is insane considering kind of diet and food shortage we had during those times in India. my grandfather looked like that guy as well but he is a short guy.

i find this amusing that my family looks like yamnaya people yet yamnayas were mostly R1b while we most likely carry R1a z93 lineage. can someone tell me how much Yamnayas contributed in genome of Indo-Aryans ?

What pigments do you family have?

according to Wikipedia up(central Indian) brahmins have 45% yamnaya ancestry so i guess for north west Asian brahmins like us this number is way higher.

well my Great grandfather(6.5"), Great Grandmother(5.10"ish) were vary fair or pale skinned as i have heard.

my Grandfather (5.8/10") is somewhat pale as well, my grandmother is a very deep blue eyed brahmin, vary pale and she is near 5.5" tall i guess.

my father is textbook nord Indid, a skin color that looks pale to light brown depending upon light he is 6.3" tall.

He is not. There are no Indians who are mostly Aryan, no matter how they look like. This stupid Indian is delusional.

Better you share the pics of your family so people can comment more realistically.
