Why is there so little steppe ancestry in the middle east

[Kamal900]

Northern West Asians have anywhere from 10-20% Steppe ancestry on average. It's underestimated on this forum unless of course most of you don't consider that number to be significant.

Well, the steppe ancestry among Palestinian muslims is between 6 to 9% on average, and we're Semites, not Indo-European speakers.

That sounds about right. It can hit up to 10-15% among certain individuals in the Levant which isn't negligible. Northern West Asians like Turks, Armenians, Iranians, Kurds, Georgians etc would naturally have more.

The shi3a Lebanese tend to have the highest, yeah. I guess you don't need to be an Indo-European speaker to have such ancestry.

'Semitic' 'Altaic' 'Indo-european' are all simply linguistic terms. There's not racial connotation involved here. Remember, genetics predate language my friend. Btw, fuck Israel

The Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese are more Semitic than the Ashkenazi small hats who appropriated the term single-handedly.

Racially, yes they are more "semitic" as in more eastern. To be honest with you, I don't buy these bullshit Gedmatch kits that supposedly belong to Ashkenazis. These guys are highly mixed imo and their DNA is probably a mess lol

Well, um, not really considering that Ashkenazi Jews are 50% Levantines genetically on average, and I think it was some gentile back in the 1800's who invented the term "anti-Semite", not by a Jew.
