Dagestani (Kubachians)

They are sub-ethnos of Dargins isolated to few villages. So it makes sense that they are so homogeneous.
When it comes to relatively larger groups, one can see that Avars, Dargins and Ingush (I know they are not in Dagestan but still) don't have much haplogroup diversity.
I think in Yusunbayev's work Dargins scored like 90% J1, although in later studies they also scored some Rs.

Dagestani (Kubachians)

They are a Dargin subgroup. Kubachi is just a damn village, a few thousand people if not less.

How about Tabasarans? Are they closer to Avars, Kumys or Azeri from Dagestan?

How about Tabasarans? Are they closer to Avars, Kumys or Azeri from Dagestan?

It seems they are closest to Avars and Dargins. Kumyks and Azeris from Dagestan are in the middle.
Tabasarans are lezgic people, but interestingly, they are closer to Avars than to other lezgin people. Then again, Udis are lezgic people too, but they are quite distant from Lezgins and Dagestanis.

Very interesting people! They could pass easily as fully Iranians/MENA. This presenter for example looks 100% MENA.

Most Caucasians do not look European. In Russia they're considered "blacks" (chorny). Sometimes they're light, sometimes comparable to Balkanites or Southern Europeans (a Spanish guy for ex told me some Chechens can pass as Spanish) but many or most still look West Asian i.e. more similar to their Southern neighbors than to Northern. I didn't know this was news for you. Particularly North Caucasians also have that distinct Muslim look. I don't know how to explain that but Armenians and Georgians usually don't look Muslim. Balkan Slavs say the same about Bosnians by the way.
