They are not more steppe shifted than other Iranians. The most steppe shifted Iranians are from Khorasan and Muslim where Iranians are Tajik/Pashtun-like shifted. Zoroastrians are mostly from Yazd which is more in the east than Fars so their more eastern geography is making them a bit more steppe-shifted

**Leto** · 04-13-2020, 08:31 AM

I knew a Russian-speaking Zoroastrian convert, he was a mix of Tajiks, Uzbeks and Russians/Ukrainians, I believe. Knew many languages, including Avestan.

Not denying this. But I think they are as Steppe shifted as Iranians from Khorasan from what I have seen. Not less. Also have less foreign input.

It’s a pseudo effect. It’s because they are less Caucasian admixed than NW Iranians and the components have to add up to 100% the N. European has to be larger. Here’s an example.
Let’s say

NW Iranian has
5 Caucasian alleles + 3 steppe alleles + 2 levant allele

Zoroastrian has
3 Caucasian alleles + 2 steppe alleles + 1 levant allele

Even though Zoroasterian has 1 less steppe allele than NW Iranian, the steppe percentages are:
NW Iranian = 3 / (5+3+2)= 3/10= 30%
Zoroasterian = 2 / (3+2+1) = 2/6 = 33%

But if you really want to check do IBD steppe vs Zoroasterian and steppe vs NW Iranian
