[x-class]

If Anatolian Turks are Turkified ancient Anatolians, why do they Score low European scores and high Caucasian scores then?

[RitinNair]

Because Anatolia's indigenous population was of European/Cauasian/Mid-Eastern genetic stock?

They have higher European score than the rest of West Asians.

They have higher European score than the rest of West Asians.

Much more than the "White" Circassians

Probably cause the ancient people weren't European. Caucasus aka West Asian component is more of an indigenous component. Turks aren't the only ones who score lower European, Armenians and Kurds also have a low European input, in fact I believe Turks score the highest European component compared to other West Asians.

Yes and no. North Western and North Eastern Turks have higher European score. Compare them to the North Caucasian people that can score pretty high Europeans scores too. So you cant really say that they higher European score than the rest of West Asians. There is also Other West Asians with "high European score". I always wondered what projects like Dodecad etc ment by Southern? If Southern = South European, then they have "high European score". Anybody that knows what he means by "Southern".

It doesn't matter really whether they score Euro or not since those Indo-European Hittites/Luwians autosomally were not identical with other Europeans.

They score both Med and North Euro which can be sumed up something like 22-25 %.

According to Dodecad v3 K=12, the Turks have much higher Mediterranean score than the Adygei but lower East and West European scores.


......................Adygei/Turkish_D
West European - 15.7%/7%
East European - 6.7%/5.6%
Mediterranean - 8.3%/28.5%


Adygei total 30.2%
Turkish_D total 41.1%

Because Anatolians and Caucasians are ethnically closer than either is to Europeans.
