Anything between Georgia, Yemen and Iran considered West Asian but when it comes to genetics this region is very diverse so which country is the reference for West Asian genetic component?

India

I think West Asian race is more Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Armenia and Iran. Levant countries like Syria Lebanon Palestine etc are closer together and Saudi Yemen and Oman etc are closer together. Geographically wise however all of those listed are considered west Asia

I think genetically Turks and Iranians are significantly further from Caucasians

No
It is not something that you can think of. There are genetic results so we can see distances between these nations.

India

[thenewestmember]

I think maybe Georgia has some more Euro influence but Armenia and Azerbaijan are definitely closer to Turkey/Iran Genetically

Do you think Georgia is West Asia? I have seen maps where it's considered Europe. Geographically, anyway
