Kurds: Rank from closer to further

**Zoro** · 05-23-2020, 05:02 AM

Here's another trivia question to give me an idea of what people think about Iraqi Kurmanji Kurds. Rank the following populations from closer to further from Kurmanji Kurds. Don't worry about guessing wrong.

1- Chechens
2- Bulgarians
3- Adygei
4- N Ossetians
5- Brahui
6- Iranian Baloch
7- Armenians
8- Georgians
9- Assyrians
10- Druze

I'll post the answers tomorrow according to Reich lab ADMIXTOOLS (formal stats)

You almost got Bulgarians correct they're no 9. The rest were slightly off. Here's a hint Armenians and Assyrians are not the top 2.

1. Armenians
2. Assyrians
3. Druze
4.Chechen/Adygei/N-Ossetian(all the same roughly)
5.Georgians
6. Iranian Baloch
7. Brahui
8. Bulgarians

Eagerly awaiting the answer. I picked mine on the (rough) idea of my experiences modeling various populations using G25. I understand different tools might give different answers.

Patience bro. In the meantime you can do online search for the qpWave program to get some ideas of how it works. It's an ingenious concept that is very different from the Admixture or PCA concept.

Interesting but I already hinted that Bulgarians are no 9 and Assyrians and Armenians are not top 2. It may be helpful to think of ancient populations and branching points to get to the correct answers or in other words the TOTAL history of Kurd ancestors and not just their whereabouts in historical times.
