Who are the descendants of Scythians?

Which people have Scythian DNA in them today?

*Hope this is the right thread to post this in.*

[Turul Karom]

The Magyars and other Turkic people who also have Scythian backgrounds.

We (Magyars) even keep the mustache, though it is now known more commonly as the "Hungarian" style in Europe and the larger world. Top pic is the oldest example of the Hungarian mustache, taken from a Scythian grave felt in the Altai. Bottom two are of Árpád (Hungarian leader who conquered modern day Hungary from Asia) and the other Hungarian chieftains.

Then where do the russians come from

Then where do the russians come from

The Russians are a confederation of Slavs who were united; the original Kievan Rus were descendants of Vikings from Scandinavia. There is debate as to how much the Rus were Viking and how much were Slavs who predated their arrival.

Where comes the Pre Slavic and Baltid phenotype in Russians from then?

What do you mean? And which Russians? The Russian identity today is not as old as the Kievan Rus. You must narrow the scope for the time period we are talking about; most areas Russia occupies today have once been occupied by Ugrics and Turkics. Therefore saying "Russians" today is too broad when talking about possible pre-Slavic phenotypes.

What is your take on the viking theory of the Rus?
