Ukrainian Pontids female

[Özgür Adam]

South Ukraine is like America a place of newly arrived colonists so there is not really ant typical phenotype or genotype there. Depending on where there ancestors from Russia, Ukraine or elsewhere came from they can be like everything.

In South Ukraine lived mainly nomads of Indo-Iranian origin, so the Pontid inherited these physical traits.

no there is no Iranian ancestry there. Just a mix of ukrainians, russians, romanians, jews , armenjans, greeks, ... It is just a salad of nations and not representative of Ukraine or Russia. Only some hundred years ago the region was populated by Tatars with legit Iranic ancedtry but they were fully replaced by colonists frlm the russian empire.

You are absolutely not informed. They arent mixture of peoples in Southern Ukraine. Someone has surname Bulgarian, Ukrainian Jewish, Armenian, Russian, Romanian, Moldovan, Greek and no one of these people assimilated with the Ukrainians. What kind of mix are you talking about? Did you yourself read about the anthropology of the Ukrainian population? You have russophile glances at this region
