Does anyone know the reason for these strange moderate frequencies of South Asian DNA in central Asian turks? I just didn't think it would be that high. Almost every turkic people seems to have low-moderate haplogroup frequencies of South Asian DNA. Did these DNA already existed in Central Asian or was it contribution from gypsies or perharps north Indian slaves. ( There was South Asian slavery in Central Asia including gypsie migration ).
But there is the possibility that it already existed when the Turkic ( hybrid mongoloid invaders) conquered the Iranic and intermarried with Iranic people and later the Mongolian invasion heavily intermarried with Iranic people. The Pasthun have some of these South Asian DNA. and so do the Tajiks but a little.
The Burusho people despite their European appearance also have signficant frequencies of South Asian DNA.
