Actually there is a movie about Cyrus the Great called the 300 which represents Iranians as slave holders even tho Cyrus the Great was the one who freed slaves over the world and helped them, for example Jewish ppl. The whole idea of Cyrus the Great was to help ppl all over the world to fight dictatorship and free slaves Watch the movie and you'll see the disaster yourself
Author looks Punjabi not surprising since Pakistan borders modern day Iran and the Persian Empire was Huge. Iran has many haplogroups including R1A which is indo european And J2 which is a minority haplogroups in Southern Europe.
This is so interesting to me. My great-grandparents all came to the USA from Italy. But multiple DNA tests have shown that my distant ancestry contains Persian, a lot of it. This I never knew until I had the DNA test. To me, that is about the coolest thing ever , and I want to learn all I can about Iranian and Persian history.
Sup ?! You know during umayyad great conquest period the Iranian shia vanguards participated in it after getting easily assimilated in them and settled in near sisily island and i guess thats wgere your ancesters are from ! Hope this was informative
No, the tribes from South eastern Europe(Aryans) migrated to Persia and these Aryans form major part of the Persian gene that's why most persians have fair skin while the local native tribes living in Persia had a slight dark skin
@@kurgansrus1277 because there are cities that are 7000 years old in the greater Iran and that proves civilized communities thrives there while people were still cave dwellers in Europe.. Europeans don’t see anyone as brothers not even their own neighbours. What they have done to humanity since the 1600’s makes the mongol conquest look like a county fair.
I'm kurdish and I consider that we belong to the iranian nation. We are ethnically siblings to persians. This does not mean we haven't developed our own characteristic language and culture, exactly as danish have their own characteristic in relation to swedes.

@@thenewme_Pal There are many languages in Iran. But the oldest language of this region after Arabic is Farsi, and the Kurdish language is a branch of the Persian language, and you can search for this on the Internet. The Persian language is the origin of the Kurdish language, not the other way around.
@@thenewme_Pal If you research, you will find that Persian is the oldest language in this region, after Arabic.

@aurora.andromeda5687 He's here talking about Persian carpets and you're here speaking of nationality which is extremely irrelevant in the topic. It's called PERSIAN carpets because the PERSIAN people/race creates them and makes them. Also Persia isn't long dead, there's a reason why when I search up Iran it says "Also known as Persia", a historical and indigenous name can never be dead and erased. The Persian lineage and race still exists till this day while keeping their gene pool intact which you can read up on their genetic studies and countries surrounding Iran still calls it Persia.
@dr.bres.9665 You didn't say anything wrong brother lol. Bro thinks Persian is a nationality when it's a race, Iranian is the nationality. No matter what, the carpets will always be called PERSIAN RUGS. Iran is a Persian country and Persia can't be dead when that's the indigenous and historical name that will never be erased. The Persian race, culture and language is still here after 2500 years and people still wants to erase their legacy 💀💀
Persian history is awesome. The Achaemenid Empire connected Greece to India,initiating one of humanity's most fruitful cross-fertilizations ever, arguably until our age. I encourage you to take a look at the Greco-bactrians and Indo-greeks,and the artistry of Gandhara,the most striking being the rendering of the Buddha in Hellenic style. I'm of Polish heritage and slowly pieced together my connection to the Afghans(formally called Ariana) and Iranians via the Sarmations,an 'Iranic' people. The Romans referred to the region of Poland as 'Sarmatia',and their artifacts are found from Ukraine to Afghanistan. Stunning revelations around every corner.
I am iranian and engaged to a polish man, I found it very interesting that dariusz is a popular name for boys in Poland! What is the connection there? Also the 120000 polish refugees accepted into Iran during ww2!
@@dirtnbloodnotherkids Before the Turks came out of Mongolia, the central Eurasian steppe was home to Iranic people who spread across, and must have has contact with Europe via what is now Ukraine.

CORRECTION: At 7:00 you said "descendants of the modern day Kurds". It would be "ancestors of the modern day Kurds." Informative video. Please keep up this good work. Thanks.
You made a few mistakes my friend. 1. 9:19 the ancient Iranian samples are not a little more "European" shifted. Ironically the modern Iranians are. This is down to the fact that after the Medes and Persians had formed. There were several more migrations of smaller groups belonging to the Scytho_Sarmatian and Cimmerian branches. The ancient Medes and Persians are slightly more West Asian/Mediterranean/ shifted while modern Iranic speakers are a little more (North) European/Central Asian and Turkic shifted. But still there is like a 90% genetic continuity since the early days. So not much changed. 2. The Farmers that went into Europe were not actually Natufians and the Natufians were still Hunters and Gatherers. Western Asia saw three big agricultural groups. Anatolian Farmers, Iranic_East Caucasus Farmers and Levantine Farmers. The Anatolian Farmers populated pretty much all of Europe. the Zagros/Iranian farmers populated South_Central Asia and Eastern Europe. These Steppe Indo Europeans you mentioned were actually genetically around 50% descend of Farmers from the Zagros and Caucasus mountains. This is why when the Early Indo_Iranians met the BMAC and mixed with them, they were already predominantly (75%) of local West Asian origin. Also sidenote. You shouldn't try to explain migration solely with Haplogroups. It doesn't work this way. aDNA is the way to go. J2 does not guarantee native West Asian origin and R does not guarantee Steppe Indo European ancestry. J Haplogroups have been found in the very eariest Indo_Iranians. And R Haplogroups such as R1b m269 has been found in Calcolthic Anatolia , Caucasus and Iran.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the time you took to write this and I'm always open to receiving feedback if any mistakes are made. When looking at the DNA clusters analysed, it appears that the Ancient Iranians had more steppe ancestry. How do we explain the Aryan Migrations otherwise? Are you able to show modern Iranian DNA clusters being closer to modern day Europeans? What you have written about the Farmers is true. Anatolian farmers were responsible for giving rise to the early European farmers. I used the early Natufians as a rather broad generalisation, as it did not tie in with the focal point of the video, and I did not want to digress too far off topic. The clear point that is trying to be made is that Europeans themselves have contributions from near eastern populations, and this is often times overlooked. Needless to say, you are right about this. As for the point regarding haplogroups, although autosomal DNA provides a clearer picture, we are still able to extract information from yDNA. Y DNA in particular can demonstrate the disposition of male populations. Say we have a higher proponent of a particular haplogroup which is known to have large frequencies within a population, and it makes a sudden appearance within a different population over time, it can be inferred that the males are having higher reproductive success. I often refer to haplogroups when exploring events where large demographic changes took place, whether it be the expansion of farming, Indo European migrations or any historic warfare where large demographic changes took place in general. A case example is the frequency of haplogroup C and O appearing in Central Asian populations following the migrations of both Turkic and Mongolic peoples. Although I acknowledge the point you are making.
@@cariocabassa They were H&G in middle of transition to a sedentary lifestyle. and no the genetic make up of those farmers, though related, was quite distinct from the Natufians. When the agricultural expansion started into Europe Natufians were already extinct and replaced by LevantNeolithic which appears like a mixture between Natufians and Anatolian_Neolithic. Don't try to teach others genetics and archeology if you have no clue about the basics.
@@sher7174 Natufians weren't Hunther-Gatherers...according to Scientists. Now if you are a scientist yourself, and actually have a new theory fine...allow me just to make a few research regarding your claim... "The Natufian culture (/nəˈtuːfiən/[1]) is a Late Epipaleolithic archaeological culture of the Levant, dating to around 15,000 to 11,500 years ago.[2] The culture was unusual in that it supported a sedentary or semi-sedentary population even before the introduction of agriculture. " Go argue with them, not me...Im just the messenger.
We Iranian people are not European, however both Europeans and Iranians are descended from a single common ancestor known as the Indo-Iranian Peoples. The Indo-Iranian People developed on the Central Asian Steppes north of the Caspian Sea (their culture is referred to as the Sintashta Culture) in southern Russia, or present-day Georgia (which included Volga and Ossetia) around 2200 to 1800 BCE, and later developed further into the "Andronovo Culture" circa 2000 to 900 BCE. Legend has it that this group of people had a major argument amongst each other, resulting in various groups migrating in different directions from another. One segment of Iranians (Fars, Pars, or Medes) moved south and created the Persian Empire. The other segment known as Iranian Alans, migrated to Europe from Italy to Ireland to Scandinavia. One segment of Volga-Germans migrated to Europe and mixed in with the German-Vandals (from Scandinavia) and created today’s Germany. The other segment remained and mixed in with the Rus that migrated from Europe and formed today’s Russia. The Indo-Aryans split off around 2000 BCE to 1600 BCE from the Iranians, whereafter the Indo-Aryans migrated into Anatolia and, possibly in multiple waves, the Punjab (northern Pakistan and India), while the Iranians settled into Iran, both bringing with them the Indo-Iranian languages. All of these groups, who would end up settling in an extremely vast area of land stretching from the Indian Subcontinent, all the way to the northernmost parts of Europe, and everything in between, are what many scholars commonly refer to as the "Aryan" people. All these people are related, albeit distantly. The Aryans in Iran would intermingle with and eventually absorb the Elamites, and the Aryans in India would eventually converge with the Dravidians (creating the caste system in India which still exists even to this day, although unofficially). It is believed that both the Elamites and Dravidians were indigenous South Asian hunter-gatherers distantly related to the Andamanese people, hence their dark skin and other unique physical characteristics. Knowing this deep-rooted history, Adolf Hitler attempted to exploit this ancient Aryan connection to get Iran to join their side before WWII officially began. Reza Shah, father of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, liked this idea, and even went so far as to change the name of the country from Persia to Iran (the latter meaning "Land of the Aryans") in 1935. However, Reza Shah's goal of uniting with Germany infuriated the Allied Powers, who would eventually invade Iran in 1941, forcing Reza Shah to abdicate in favor of his son (known as the Anglo-Soviet Invasion of Iran). If someone asks whether Iranians and Europeans are related, the answer is yes AND no. Yes, in the sense that they both descend from a common ancient bronze age culture from the steppes, but no in the sense that both groups have been isolated from each other long enough that they have formed their own unique racial classifications. For example, Native Americans originated in Siberia, making them of Near Eastern Descent, which is evidenced by their physical characteristics. Furthermore, words in Yakut and other Siberian languages, along with words in some Native American languages, share the same root and meaning to this day due to this common origin. However, because Native Americans became isolated in North and South America after crossing over from the Bering Strait land bridge during the last ice age, they technically separated, genetically speaking, from peoples in Asia about 25,000 years ago, hence why on most, if not all, DNA ancestry tests available today, "Native American" has its own unique racial classification and is not lumped in the same category/classification as "East Asian." In the unique case of Iranians, not only have we been isolated from our distant cousins in Europe for the last three to four thousand years, but we have also had a few alterations to our gene pool over the last two millennium, first by Semitic Arabs during the Islamic expansions of the 8th century AD, second by Central Asian Turkic tribes which invaded during the 11th Century AD (namely the Seljuk Turks, who descend from the Oghuz branch of the Turkic peoples, who would eventually set up the Seljuk Dynasty stretching from western Anatolia and the Levant to the Hindu Kush in the east, and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf in the south), and thirdly by the Mongolian Empire in the 13th Century AD, which conquered the whole of Iran (along with many other lands, of course), effectively annexing the Khwarazmian Dynasty. The influx of nomadic Turkmen and Mongols into the Iranian Plateau from Central Asia, starting with the Seljuk Empire, and continuing with the Mongol Empire and later other Turco-Mongol invaders, was so significant, that out of it arose a distinct culture known as the "Turco-Persian Tradition," in which a symbiosis of the two cultures occurred that was Persian in that it was centered on a lettered tradition of Iranian origin, and it was Turkic/Mongolic insofar as it was founded by and for many generations to come patronized by rulers of Turkic and Mongolic heredity (Ilkhanate Khaganate, Timurid Empire, Safavid Dynasty, Qajar Dynasty, etc.) and would end up dominating Iran from 999 AD all the way up until 1921, when Reza Shah finally toppled the last Turkic Dynasty in Iran (Qajar Dynasty) in a coup d’état, officially founding the Pahlavi Dynasty four years later in 1925 (the first fully Persian Dynasty to rule Iran in over a millennium). In order of oldest to most recent, you could say that modern day Iranians are an amalgamation of the four following segments: (1) Indo-European Aryans who arrived in Iran about 4 thousand years ago from the Central Asian Steppes. Originally, they were nomadic, pastoral people inhabiting the western Iranian plateau. (2) Eastern Middle Eastern Farmers, otherwise known as the indigenous inhabitants of the Iranian Plateau that lived in Iran prior to the arrival of the Aryans from the north. These were the Elamites, who many historians believe were greatly outnumbered by the incoming Aryan speakers from the north, and eventually intermarried with the Aryan newcomers in mass, ultimately being absorbed by them to create a new Iranian race that gave rise to the Achaemenid Empire in the 6th century BC, officially bringing an end to the existence of Elam as an independent political power, although their cultural influence continued to live on and even lives to this day, (3) some admixture with Semitic Speakers as a result of the Islamic Conquest of Iran in the 7th Century AD by Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula, and to a lesser extent with large minorities of Jews and Assyrians who have been living in Iran alongside ethnic Iranians since Babylonian times, and (4) admixture with Turkic Nomads migrating in from Central Asia in three main waves, beginning with the Seljuks in the 11th century AD, Mongols in the 13th Century AD, and various Turkmen Tribes in the 16th Century AD, introducing a Central Asian/Eurasian component into the Iranian Gene pool that had not existed there before, as well as language misplacement from Farsi to Turkish languages via elite dominance, a legacy which lives to this day, namely among the Azeri, Qashqai, and Turkmen minorities of Iran. In spite of the fact that Iran has been at the crossroads of world history for thousands of years, geographically lying at the intersection of three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa, which culminated into many prehistoric and historic interactions with other groups (Indo-European speakers, and non-Indo-European speaking groups alike), a genetic study done by a team of scientists from the University of Cologne, Germany, in 2019, shows that the entire gene pool of those living inside the borders of Iran today has remained largely unchanged over at least 5,000 years, but probably rather the past 10,000 years. This is based on genetic data of 1,021 volunteers that identified themselves as belonging to one of eleven recognized ethnic groups living in Iran today (Persians, Azeris, Baluchi, Gilakis, Mazanderani, and Lurs, to name a few). Furthermore, the data suggests that even despite repeated invasions and conquests of Iran by non-Iranic invaders, modern day Iranians still share a segment of their DNA with modern day Europeans, being distantly related to Europeans as a whole, predominantly with Southern Europeans like Greeks, Albanians, Serbs, Croatians, Italians, Bosniaks, Spaniards, Macedonians, Portuguese, and Bulgarians, rather than northern Europeans like Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, Finns, Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians, indicating a striking degree of homogeneity and genetic continuity over several millennia.

Interesting. I used the Kurds as the focal point of Median decent as the historic geographic domain of the Medes roughly corresponds with the distribution of the Kurdish Languages today.
@@AncestralBrew all of the Northwest Iranic speakers are descend of the Medes. It's just that Kurds are the main and biggest branch of it. The Parthians were literally the Sassanid equivalent to the Northwest Iranics. The Parthians were a dynasty that was build from local Median tribes as their language is Northwest Iranic.
@@sher7174 Parthians came from EASTERN Iran, which literally is the opposite side of the regions where there are Kurdish populations. The descendants of the Parthians are Mazandarnis and Gorganis. Not Kurds. The Parthian aristocratic/noble families are still present in Guilan and Mazandaran. One of them being the BAVAND family (Reza Shah Pahlavi was distantly related to that family). Parthians were not clanic, just like modern day Mazandaranis.
Very informative! This was a very beautifully articulated exposition of a blending of archeology, history, and population genetics that contribute to the construction of Iranian culture. Though brief, he has shown some basics of the pre-history going to the early history of Iran in a meaningful way. I would love to hear him expand further on many of these topics, particularly where genetics can lend insight where history and archeology cannot. For example the connection between these early Zagros farmers and their links to Caucasian Hunter-Gatherers, Basal Eurasians, and possibly to other Ancient North Eurasian groups other than the Indo-European Aryans. But from this video what I can say is that would appreciate more content from this youtuber. Hopefully more videos are to come.

Nice video despite of some errors. The biggest error was claiming that our Azeris have 90% turkic genetics. They are genetically, culturally n historically Iranians (most likely descendants of the Medes) but started speaking Azeri, a turkic language due to the Turkish occupation that lasted for several centuries.
@@serkantemiz7565 tajiks are still at very least 80 percent iranic. Azaris don't have up to 10 percent turkic blood at most..many don't have a drop of that blood. Same thing in anatolia. All turkic speakers in central asia have iranic blood..some up to 70/80 percent.
maybe the problem is...that most turkish have many anatolian/caucasian/iranian blood...since the turkpeople just conquered and colonized that lands...bringing the language and culture to this regions where greeks, armenians, kurdish and many other people lived)...people converted or where converted to islam, many soldiers where token from Balcan etc. etc. so it is same in Azerbaydschan...of course...most countries use the legendary folk who brought language and other culture to to strengthen and unite the people against other politic formations...think we are still at this horrible position...we kill our own brothers and sisters, and of course it is easier if they have different language or religion and the country in question can relate to a specific people, a people who founded this political formation... and so today all Mexicans speak Spanish for example ...only a few have managed not to lose their roots...and even these are abused and mobbed by those who have already converted etc. etc.
@@sunny-td7qg Whatever, still Azeris are Turkic people as they speak a Turkic language and have a very strong Turkic (Azeri/Azerbaijani) culture and identity. No one gives a shit about ancestry or genes except for racist Nazi-loving Persian supremacists & pan-Iranists.
Indians and Iranians are historically, culturally, linguistically and genetically long lost cousins. It's sad how this connection has disappeared from the conscience of contemporary indians and iranians. The only reminder of that connection in popular culture of india is the small but vibrant parsi (zoroastrian) community, while iranians seem to have forgotten it entirely since their arab invassion.

@@MegamiSaikou that’s good to know. Funny enough, we do the same in syria when greeting people. Italy invaded Syria at some point in history and so they took a lot of our customs and we took lots of theirs too. We were also ruled by the Persian empire and lots of Syrians and Iranians share ancestors and culture too. It’s so fascinating to learn about how all these beautiful cultures merged.
From what I understand, Hungarians have also got some influence/mixing with Persians during their nomadic journey on the way to their final settlement in the Carpathian Basin. The irony in this is that Hungarians are not Indo-European, however they have blended and mixed with Indo-European cultures significantly enough, that it is hard to make a distinction. Fascinating insights.
Indo European means the language root of these peoples. It doesn't mean race. Hungarian language is from the Hun/Xiongnu on the northern border of ancient China and Hungarians' DNA has 10 % similarities with Chinese
@@khashayar8989 Thank you for your response. I never realised that Hungarians were in Iran to that extent. Having read a bit more since I posted the original comment, I understand that Persians and Hungarian tribes lived together and absorbed cultural influences to a greater degree than I previously thought.
I can tell you one more thing to make you still more confused. Like me, an Iranian. There is a phrase or part of a text in the bible which says :"FINN and HUNGAR were two brothers who came from PERSIA. FINN= Finland, HUNGAR = Hungary. The theories of the anthropologists and historians are of course of high scientific value. I don't question the credibility of those theories although a lot of times these historical facts are manipulated and deliberately twisted and misrepresented mainly by Anglo-Saxon Europeans like the English. But one thing I, as a normal and curious individual believe a lot of us forget to acknowledge is the highly dynamic nature of ancient people. Emigrations have always been going on during the course of history and societies have always been mixing and moving more than we anticipate.
R1a is most common amongst the Sorbs, the Poles, the Belarusians, the Russians and other Balto-Slavs as well as in the area of the Indian Subcontinent. When the Aryans were marching from the Pontic Step they were relatively peaceful when they brought the Indo-European language to Ancient Persia, but later, they linked up with other Indo-Europeans traveling from Sintashta (first military research facility) and riding chariots. They joined together rode chariots and drunk Soma (most likely ephedra tea) into the Indian subcontinent. The locals fought them tooth and nail, so they only went where they chariots aided their progress. In a way, they went home because R1a originates from India. This 'going back home' created extremely genetically varied R1a in India.
Good one bro... There was even a word called Elam in Tamil (dravidian language) represent sri Lanka... And the people of sri Lankan who spoke Tamil called ela Tamil... The river bed of Cauveri and vaigai is the life line of Tamils... There was an excavation on that river bed reveals the farming happen in early ages..
🤺☦🇷🇺Wrong. Elam has nothing to do with south India- Sumerians do (haplogroup L). The Iranian/Aryan race are the Medes (Madai), defined by haplogroups R1, R2 subclades, with R1a-Z93 as the major lineage, and yes, they belong to the European race (Japhetic). Persia was and IS the majority Elamite population ruled by the minority Median Parsa ruling tribe 🇷🇺❤🇮🇷🇦🇫☪️
Actually sinhala South Indians were elamites , they were then moved to srilanka, aryans called them rakshsas , in Vedas ,saying they were a mix of asuras proto Iranians before aryans and locals tribes ,

Sumeru people were Dravidian and relatives of Indus valley civilization which was called Melluha in ancient Mesopotamian seal. Sumerian cities viz Ur, Nippur or Assur has the suffix "ur" still found in many Indian cities like Kanpur, Nagpur and Jaipur. Sumerian language was Dravidian language extincted when Akkadian speaking warrior tribe invaded Assur city and named themselves "Assur" or "Assur/Ashur King". This warrior tribe belongs to the same tribe of BMAC who used to consume Soma Homa psychedelic drung extracted from Opium and Ephedra. Soviet archaeologist Viktor Sarinidhi had a deep research on BMAC and demonstrated that soma homa consuming tribe stayed in that area used to worshiped fire. Viktor also correlated the fire temple of BMAC with that of Northern Mesopotamia. One one important key point is that you can found Opium poppies in the hands of Assur kings in many ancient seals of Assyrians. Assyrians were the branch of Aryan tribe of BMAC. Sumeru people were black and Dravidian who migrated East ward when Assyrians/Akkadian people fully take control over Sumerian civilization. This is the transition phase civilization named Babylonia. Elamites were Sumeru peoples who continue to migrated East through Brahui Area to their native Indus valley. During Babylon period around 2000 BC prophet Ibrahim/Abrahim was expelled out from Babylonia. Hebrew peoples were the desandant from Dravidian Sumeru peoples as you there are few Tamila words found in old testament. One of the key observation is that Hebrew Abba word is synonyms or very much close to Tamil word Appa, same as Hebrew Ima is close to Tamil word Amma, thats why there is correlation between Dravids,Sumeru, Elamites, Hebrew and Tamil rather than Indo European.
Fantastic video! I'm a J2 Telugu (South Indian)! I calculated my Iran N to be around 49% using my G25 coordinates. Truly amazing how many cultures were born from these ancient peoples.
Where do you get all this information from? Is really really awesome. Human History is so old, but also so new at the same time. Now I wonder how little we know about our past, but every bit we discover is a huge treasure. Blessings! 🙌
@ela mn Indo European is a language branch lol... there's no such thing as Aryan race. Aryans jus means you speak an Indo European language. Only time it meant a race was when Hitler tried to describe the "perfect master noble race". Persians ARE Middle Easterns/West Asians.
I took a recent DNA test and found out I’m 26 percent anotolia/ Caucasus as well as 17 percent Iran/Persia. I’ve been really exploring my roots and honestly gave me some closure. I’ve always thought my looks are so different, as in very dominant. But I’m still researching and I feel based on my skin tone and facial structure I lean towards more of the Turkish side. My dad and his family are from Tehran Iran. Thank you for sharing your video.
That was so cool, very well condenced for such a long and complicated history. I get very annoyed when people call Persian/Iranian people Arabs. Anyway, thank you, it was excellent

I thonk it would be interesting to see a full DNA analysis of Georgians, Mingrelians, Svans, Azerbaijani's and Armenians just to see how distinct they are, like we know the Georgians have been there since before recorded history and the Armenians came soon after but when did everybody else get there?

Parsi or Farsi as known today is an indo-european language. Probably the oldest and very likely older than Greek. Although Parsi has adopted certain words from other languages it is still an Indo-European language. There's no evidence in linguistics to suggest otherwise.

@@yasaman1637 lol, you clearly did not watch the video nor know anything about Iranian Genetics .. Iranian language belongs to the Indo-European family but genetically Iranians are closer to their Arab neighbors.. Haplagroup J which is found in Iranians it originated in modern day Turkey/Syria region most historians link them to a Semetic origin not Aryan .. The true Aryans came from the steppe areas of southern Russia that migrated into northern Europe and northern India not Iran and the Aryan gene is R1a1… Afghan Pashtuns and Tajik Pamiris and also Polish and Norwegians all carry the highest marker of the Aryan gene R1a1 please do your research before you comment … Also the Pamiri language and Pashtu language both found in Afghanistan is the oldest Iranic language closely related to the ancient Scythians Saka languages that is where all this Aryan talk started from .. plus research Ariana ancient country name and you’ll know where and who are the descendants of the real Aryans en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariana
@@persiansoundsAfg Iran contains people who look German, people who look Turkic, people who look Indian and people who look Arab. And some look like none of the above.
Question. Do think around 490 bc my Greek ancestors and yours. Understood each other more before Lang evolved. And did u know Freddi mercury was a Zoroastrian
Actually greeks in those time weren't Indo-European They were anatolian (neolithic anatolian farmer + Caucasian hunter gatherer)even heroudouts mentioned that Iranians where nomadic horse riders and different from Greeks
@@hosseinsadeghi2468 also indian ancestors lol. They are mixed. But have maintained their religion and significant amount of Persian genes. But are indian.
So interesting. I am Danish. In our language, which is also Indoeuropean, we say 'moder' (with a soft 'd' like the English 'th') for 'mother, we say 'fader' for 'father' and 'broder' for 'brother', all with the soft 'd'. So very, very similar.
What's really interesting is that if you look at the Salian Franks and Etruscan mythological origin stories they both claim to be descendants of Trojans. It dawned on me today that when people criticized them for the location difference that they never considered that these people migrated west through the Mediterranean to the Rhine River or they migrated into the Black Sea through the Danube (perhaps both) to arrive at these locations. Perfectly explaining the western turkey location and transmission of R1b haplogroup to northern and northwestern Europe. He wouldn't surprise me if the Norse mythology of Yggdrasil (the world tree that connects the 9 realms) was actually the Rhine Delta and Danube rivers. After all the Salian Franks were located at the mouth of the Danube near the Rhine and then moved west of the Rhine when pushed out by other German tribes. A western people, the Trojans, were likely some mixture of Hittite and Greek influences.
Iranians are not Europeans, but their ancestors and the ancestors of the Europeans both came from the Caucasus, and were closely related. It’s just like the Turks and the Mongols. The Turks are not Mongolians, but their ancestors were closely related to the ancestors of the Mongols.
Present-day Kurds are an amalgam of multiple ancient groups, for example Medes/Persians, Assyrians/Armenians, and Hittites/Hurrians/Lydians. The idea that Kurds are the direct successor of Medes is something that was picked up by Kurdish nationalists and has been thoroughly debunked. It is at best a gross oversimplification.
The Kurds are mostly Chalcolithic and Neolithic Iranians and descended from the Hajji Firuz sample which is from Kermanshah. That means that Kurds are indeed of Median origin, but they are not the only people who originated from the Medes.
@@bhka6423 I haven't seen the genetic studies, but based on geographical evidence, Medes would have absorbed non-Iranian indigenous tribes such as Mannaeans, and they invaded Hurrian/Urartian and also Assyrian area. Kurdistan region in present-day Iraq, effectively covers the entire ancient Assyrian homeland. I don't believe that Medians remained reproductively isolated from all the peoples they conquered. It is more reasonable to assume that present-day Kurds received genetic input from all the various tribes that once occupied the area - not Medians alone. I suspect that genetically this would be reflected in the fact that Kurds are more west shifted.
Yea I said for years. Kurds are descendant from Medes. PARTIALLY a partiality is a oversimplification. Kurds descend from dozens of ethnicities of Iranic and Anatolian origins but of different percentage and even then it overlaps in ancestry with other ethnicities. Not exclusive and not a universal for all in each Kurdish tribe. Nuanced stuff like that. Kurds are a product of a fusion of people into becoming a Confederation. They are X, Y and Z ethnicities as a subsequent product but those same ethnicities are in themselves not Kurds in the rule of subsequent history events.
@@nickm7911 eurasiandna.com/2659-2/ Our formal analysis using qpAdm subject to the numerous precautions and strict protocols outlined under “Methods & Materials” indicates that contemporary Iraqi Kurds are predominantly Mede derived (p-values 0.33 & 0.47, fig 2), with approximately : 71% Indo-Iranian Mede related ancestry as proxied by the 2700 year old Hasanlu-IA near a Kurdish region in Iran (fig 1); 7-11% ancient Neolithic Levant farmer related; 17-22% Indo-Iranian Central Asian Scythian/Sarmatian related. Some of this component of ancestry could have been mediated to Kurds via the 2000 year old Parthians. This is consistent with Gernot Windfuhr, professor of Iranian Studies, placing Kurdish under the Parthian branch, albeit with a Median substratum [9] (fig 9). This genetic study confirms that Kurds are the descendants of the Medes and also Iraqi Kurds who are Assyrian, according to you. All Kurds descend from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic Iranian sample and also from the Aryans. What another study also says is that DNA from the BMAC culture was found in Kurds.
@@bhka6423 I read the paper that you sent me. An interesting point I want to mention is regarding the part where it talks about incorporating peoples from South Russian Steppe (e.g. Scythians) into the models. Perhaps the authors were unaware, but Scythians had an an alliance with Assyrians against Medes; and Cimmerians (another people of approximately the same kind) had an an alliance with Medes against Assyrians! Intermarriages would have taken place (e.g. the Scythian king married the daughter of Asarhaddon). But, in any case, the paper is at best a simulation based on insufficient evidence and data. They used very few isolated ancient samples that they interpreted to be whatever may appeal to their imagination (that is how they deduced what a “Mede” genetic profile would have looked like). My point is that you can't connect a modern ethnicity like Kurd to only one single ancient population. Modern people received input from multiple groups. Even the paper you linked does not dispute this.
Also with my name Minjares is adopted. My last name used to be Vassef. But my mom moved around so much and never allowed me to be around my Iranian family so literally I’m learning this on my own. I was hoping to connect to blood line traced to Iran. But on ancenstry it only works if my family also has a subscription.
This is such a great channel. I've always been fascinated by evolution of human society, history is cool and all but pre history is what intrigues me the most. Can you make a detailed video about the bronze age collapse? The genetic effects on Europe and Asia? Would love a video in form in your style and format(forgive my grammer, it's been only one year since i learned English)
Iranians are NOT European. They may have some Indo Europen ancestry, but that has been overwhelmingly mixed with Iranian Neolithic, East Asian, Caucasus Chalcolithic ancestry.
6:34 - excuse me, why you show the chariot from the Oxus treasure but present is as Iranian??? Indeed, it was mastered during Akhemenids empire, but in the lands of modern Tajikistan/Afghanistan! Would you call anything Iranian if it would be suddenly found in Lebanon or Armenia, also Akhemenids satrapias? Your intention to equate everything "Iranian" just because those lands were conquered and comprised several empires some times ago is totally awful, because in this way Arabs, Turks and Russians can call these lands/artefacts "Arab, Turkic and Russian". And Spain might call artefacts found in Philippines - Spanish, Portugal - in India and some parts of China and Africa, France - in Vietnam, Thailand and MOST of Africa, Netherlands - in Indonesia and other colonies. Using your logic, should I list here everything that might be called "British" considering their empire being the biggest (not commonly bordered) in the human written history?
Thank you for this. As an Iranian American, I'm so tired of Iranians acting like the most authentic Iranian is some blue-eyed, pale-skinned person and that the ultimate Iranian beauty is someone with fair skin and light eyes that resembles your average Northern European. Yes, the region of Iran is home to many fair-haired, white-skinned, light-eyed people, but that is not what necessarily makes an authentic Iranian. With the exception of someone like Golshifteh Farahani, it is almost as though Iranians are ashamed to hoist up a person with black hair, beige skin, and dark eyes as a representative of their country because they think that person looks more Indian or Arab. They are too infatuated with being linked to Germans and other Europeans that they are blind to the most common phenotypes and beautiful features that are found in Iran.
@@Wolvendom But should you identify more with Arabs and Turks than with European Aryans? I hope not. Sadly, Iranians in Anglo countries seem to want to disassociate themselves from "white people" which is primarily used as synonymous with Europeans. And it's true that most Iranians cannot easily "pass" as European. But I find it sad when Iranians identify more as "middle easterners" than as Aryan.
@@SSs-ch4ey Iranian culture (as it stands today and throughout many centuries) even for less religious Iranians, is much more similar to the cultures of Arabs and Turks than it is to Europeans. This is a reality check every Iranian who leaves Iran to go live abroad comes to realize and thus, naturally and more accurately identifies as “Middle Eastern.” There is a lot of crossover between Farsi, Turkish, and Arab languages. Many of the spices we use in the foods are the same. The taste in music is similar and so are the values and customs. Additionally, since the word “Aryan” is universally associated with Nazism, when a black haired, brown eyed, beige complected, short stature Iranian whom Hitler would have ordered to be taken to the gas chamber calls him/herself “Aryan” in the international community, it is the stupidest, most ignorant, most laughable sounding thing to those outside the Iranian community. The fact is that those tall, blue-eyed, blonde Germans and other Nordic people have dissociated from the word “Aryan” due to its offensiveness. So keep referring to yourself as “Aryan,” thinking it links to you to blue-eyed, blonde Nordic people and get laughed 😂 at by the entire world 🌍 if that is what you want so bad. I stand by reality. Most Iranians have black hair, brown eyes, more Semitic looking noses 👃 (prior to nose jobs), and guess what? That’s the typical Iranian beauty that I’m proud of, not some phony baloney inferiority complex.
I stumbled upon this video while looking up Rick Stein’s cooking programs: India, then Iran. 😂. Very glad to hear this thorough presentation- as I’m Iranian and never really went this in depth. Thank you!
AncestralBrew yes they are the Andronovo where manly Northern European so Iranians must at least have some Northern European dna and Iranians are definitely majority European overall. They aren’t European but they do have a lot of influence.
One crucial update from recent research lead by Vasant Shinde and his British colleagues, the art of farming had been independently evolved and it never.been borrowed from outside of India.
I love how he tried to claim the proto Indo European split into two groups forming Corded Ware and the Aryans , yet DNA evidence clearly shows that corded ware culture is the ancestors of the Aryans, androvono culture is not closer to modern Iran then modern northern and eastern European, clearly by the PCA they cluster with modern European
Corded ware admixed with Yamnaya to produce the sintashta, srubnaya and andronovo cultures. They are not the direct descendants but you are right about the PCA charts. Andronovo groups cluster most closely to Norwegians than iranians. The Persians who formed the Achaemenid empire had more steppe ancestry than the rest of the population suggesting the impacts of an indo European culture on an existing Elamite framework.
@@AncestralBrew fair enough I'll agree to that and don't take what I said the wrong way as being the closest population to zargos farmers is quite a big deal all on its own, but the main issue for me with what you just said is the fact that r1a is not found in yamnya and majority corded ware is r1a while yamnya is r1b, the stredy stog pre yamnya carry r1a z93 and already have neolithic Anatolian admixture, the lastest corded ware study came out this month specific mentioned that early corded ware shows relation to Latvia middle neolithic who also carry r1a and Ukraine enolithic, was found as a better proxy then yamnya, the 2019 study formation of south and central Asia says "the steppe ancestry that eventually reached south and central Asia was not the initial eastern migration but a secondary migration that was 67 percent steppe and 33 percent on the European cline, we replicate this groups as involving people of the corded ware culture, sintashta culture, scubnya culture and androvono culture, 2020 saag et al' fatyanovo study 24 people from 2600 bc all males carried r1a z93, and we're most closely related to modern northern and eastern European while around a third of the samples were blonde hair and or blue eyed, Yamnya never migrated to Iran or India, corded ware culture spread Indo Iranian language, as well as Celtic, Baltic and italic, We are all brothers A fun study for Iranians to read is the new Romans study a few days ago, as the imperial era shows increase of Iran chl DNA a group closely related to modern Iranian, further cementing the evidence we have both influence each other cultures time and time again and much more connected then we realize, as steppe DNA itself I believe is eastern European hunter gatherer and Iran chl, roughly 50/50, which would technically make them a fusion of northern Europeans and Iranian/south Asians
@@AncestralBrew Would that mean that the Fars province, in antiquity, consisted of a majority of these steppe people? I haven't been able to find much information on j2; is it possible to go into a bit more? Thank you any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
its is nice that you are really honest and see that many turkish people live in iran... bravo.... you are intelligent.... i like persian history much... i am a mix of kurd turk and circassian.... but while Selcuk (Turkish) Empire in Iran, we mixed MUCH with the persians... so many Turks from Turkey have also Persian dna...
it is anatolian dna and not turkic dna of central asia as he mesntioned turkic dna of central asia and original turks are between 5 to 15% manily in azerbaijan region the anatolian dna in iranians is very old and it happened 8000 years ago that semi indian people in iran mixed with anatolians then 3500 years ago yamnaya came and mixed too
1:36 you map is so wrong . It doesn't contain Lurs in Khuzestan ,Bushehr,Hamedan and Fars proviences alongside full lur proviences :Kohkyluye va boir ahmad and Chahrmahal va bakhtyari
Are Persians Europeans? No we are not.... furthermore, Persian is not necessarily an ethnicity. It is a cultural umbrella terms which encompasses many different peoples and tribes. This notion of Ethno-nationalism is an extremely Eurocentric/ modern Colonial approach to identity and it is not necessarily applied to the Iranic peoples and cultures.
We surely came from southern Russia and even look it too Far whiter than a European and have nothing to do with Gulf neither mid East We all settled in Iran Lots of us came from Russia and above and all around caspian All my friends came from Georgia to Iran all settled You call a Georgian Asian and watch the reaction
Natufians have nothing to do with early european farmer genetics. As a matter of fact, while natufians didn't impact early european farmers (who got 90% of their heritage from anatolia) the neolithic anatolian and caucasian genome replaced about half of the natufian genome during the late neolithic.
I'm writing something with a chapter on the Achaemenid Persians. It may become a film. I'm just trying to figure out what percentage of people would have brown, green and blue eyes at that time and what percentage of change there has been since 550 BC to now. By slight shift to Steppe ancestry and more Turkic admixture can you give a percentage? I'm trying to connect East and West, not just through genetics but culture and the Persians are key.
What is that supposed to mean? The Middle East and North Africa have a rich culture and is the seat of civilization!! Europeans evolved from us, not the other way around!!

British historians and linguists claim that about 40% of place names in England alone (excluding Scotland, Wales and Ireland) are translated from the Ossetian language. At the University of London there is a department of the Alan-Ossetian language, which is considered Old Saxon. In Germany, the Ossetian language is defined as an Old German, Low Saxon dialect. Moreover, the Ossetian language is studied at the universities of Germany and France. There is even a faculty. Note the Ossetian language is studied as the language of the Scythians, Sarmatians and Alans ...

"In the Caucasus, where the Western Asian race as a whole predominates, European and Asian groups collide.

Modern Iranians mostly are a mixture of Aryan Iranian central asians and native Iranians, not super mixed. Go on Iran talks channel to learn more about this topic.
History of the Pamirs!!! One of the earliest descriptions of the Pamirs can be found in the diaries of the Chinese Xuan-Tsang, who passed through it as a Buddhist pilgrim in the summer of 642. But Europe learned about the existence of the Pamirs much later - in the 13th century, after the publication of the diaries of the Venetian Marco Polo, who visited it in 1270, traveling along the Silk Road with other merchants. His memories seemed so incredible that they were questioned for a long time. And only now can one be surprised with what amazing accuracy he described everything that he saw. The very interpretation of the word “Pamir” still causes numerous disputes: some believe that it came from the abbreviation of the words “upa-Meru”, that is, “the country above Meru”, the divine mountain of the Indians, the habitat of the god Shiva, denoting the center of the Universe (it mentioned in the Indian poem "Mahabharata", 6th century BC); others from “Poi Mehr”, which means “foot of the sun”; the third - from the Chinese “Po-mi-lo”, that is, “land of the rising sun”. But recent historical and linguistic studies are inclined to believe that the word “Pamir” should be translated as “Country of the Aryans” (as well as Iran and Kashmir). In the legends of the Iranians, this is the legendary country of Aryana-Vaija, at the source of the Oxus (Amu Darya), from where Zarathustra came and from where they began their settlement throughout Western Asia in ancient times. In the Indian tradition, this is the mystical center of the universe, where the earth connects with the sky, the source of knowledge and world order. According to legend, a person burdened with sins does not dare to approach him, and a righteous person who sets foot on this earth never returns back. The Pamirs have long attracted the attention of scientists, but many of the secrets of its history have remained unrevealed. Despite the fact that for a long time small groups of related tribes from neighboring territories penetrated into the Pamirs, over the past centuries little has changed in the material culture, social structure and folk beliefs of the local residents.The closeness and unity of the ancestors of various Indo-Iranian tribes is evidenced by their common self-name It was widely known both from the most ancient Iranian and Indian texts, and from other sources. The modern comes from the same name - from the ancient Iranian (Country of the Aryans); Indian (Country of the Aryans) - Northern India or part of it with its center in the interfluve of Jammu and Ganges t i.e. one of the oldest Aryan centers in India) Avestan (Aryan expanse) - the legendary homeland of the Iranians; names of a number of Iranian tribes of fiery groups: the Median tribe of the Aryans (tribe of the Aryans), the Sarmatian tribe of the Aryans, the tribal union of the Alans (as well as the self-name of the Ossetians in their Nart epic - allon - from the ancient Iranian Aryan and shugni (shugni) Pamir tribal union, etc.
>using paternal haplogroups as an indicator for genetic profile by that logic Eastern Europeans would be more closely related to North Indians than Western Europeans, and that is obviously ridiculous. Autosomal DNA analysis is by far and wide a superior method of determining genetics than Y Haplogroups.
Big mistake here 1:35 The Azerbaijanis and qashqai aren’t iranic peoples they are Turkic, and the part that lumps turkmens Georgians and Armenians as culturally Iranian is just laughable that’s just ignorant from the one that made the image.
The right question would be, Are Europeans Iranian? And the answer is yes, from ancient languages to myths and religion they are. Indo-European languages and ancient Central and North European pagan religions which all have roots in Mithraism and even Christianity.
@StraightFaceGang First of all, it's the reverse, Europeans are Iranians, not the other way around, genetically and historically that's easy to prove, just study a bit of history, start from Tocharian mummies and Mithraism. you still celebrate norowz, don't you? you speak persian, not arabic, don't you? there is still some Iranian left in you. Just because Iran was invaded by arabs and mongols, doesn't mean you have to be subdued by British made up history and believe you are not Iranian anymore. As Nietzsche and Hegel said Iranians were the first historical people and they are still here. from central asia, to kurds to kalash. they are very diverse genetically now but they share the Iranian civilization which will revive fully someday again as it has survived for 10000 years or more. Thus Spake Zarathustra, it will speak again.
@roberto lang That is not surprising at all, there were many waves of migration of proto-iranians and iranians to Iberia. the latest one was by Ilyans (Ilani/Irani as they call themselves, since l and r were interchangeable in old iranian language) or as Europeans call them as Allens that went to Iberia with ostrogoths and found catalonia. it's speculated the recent migration were as the result of turkic tribes push to the western steppes from north-east siberia and pushing Iranian tribes further to south and west. The eastern iranian tribes such as touranians/tokhrians were not so lucky and almost completely got decimated by first turkic tribes and later by mongols/chinesse push to the west.
@roberto lang yes there were many waves of migration, 2000BC then you are talking about Minoans time, it's speculated they were the first to colonize Iberia and probably the only ones who had the sea knowledge and capability to do so at that time. Hittites and Phoenicians appeared 500-1000 years later. So much knowledge and advances were lost when Minoans were destroyed first by volcanic eruptions and right after, by Greeks. a true loss for humanity. If Minoans had survived, humanity would reach where it is now, probably 2000 years earlier and a more humane history.
I have considered the possibility J2, which many see as a "Semitic" haplogroup identifier essentially, actually shows when Indians spread out from India and mixed with populations around the middle east, Arabia and east Africa. It is clear Iran does have some Indian admixture, more so than it has Arabic admixture despite what many might assume, and this probably goes back a long way. I think also the Gutian peoples were somewhat exotic, perhaps akin to Huns, Kurds or even Romani gypsies, and a lot makes sense when you study ancient allegiances, wars and who was continually aggressive towards whom. The bulk of native Iranian ancestry actually would be similar to the equivalent in Turkey (though Turkey was rather diversified by Greek migration, which explains east African/Ethiopian haplogroup there, and minor central Asian admixture) - Both Ancient Anatolians and Ancient Persians were essentially a mixture of the broader "Trojan" peoples, which I would say includes Scythians in large part (recent studies have actually argued PIE comes from Anatolia, not central Asia, and there is a lot of similarity between the costumes, weapons etc of Hittites and Scythians) and the native Hurrian and Caucasian peoples. It's also worth noting how closely Alexander and the Macedonians related to Ancient Persians- he took Persian wives, embraced Persian customs, not because he was interested in anything overly exotic but because he saw them as the same people in large part, which they were. I have huge love and respect for Iranians and though like Turks they aren't exactly the same as they were in antiquity, they similarly take a lot of pride in their ancient heritage, which is more than you can say about a lot of places. I also find the "pan-Arab nationalism" narrative particularly toxic and seems to be used as a way of firstly generalising in the west about "middle-easterners" and secondly as a way of basically denying several groups their own distinct regional identity. This also applies to the likes of Syrians, seen by many as an "Arab nation" even though they clearly aren't Arabs (though have some admixture) and identify in large part as Syrians, not Arabs. I also not sure sure the vast majority of Persians sure as hell don't identify as Arabs either hahaha. It would be like describing half of Europe as "Greek" because of conversion to Christianity, it's absurd.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 No, sorry bud. J2 is Semitic and Caucasian, which is why those regions are mixed race and white European regions descended from actual Scythians aren't. As someone actually conquered by turks and central Asian Parthians you have more Turk ancestry than western Europeans with the highest levels of Scythian ancestry do.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 They don't lol. Your ancestry is closest to that of Armenians and mixed Caucasians who were around in Iran long before Scythians were, and genetic tests have actually shown the contribution of Scythians to be minimal. Hence why you have to lie about R1a and R1b haplogroups claiming they're mongol, because you can't cope with the undisputed fact that western Europeans, particularly those in Britain, Ireland and even Basque country, have that Scythian haplogroup in extremely high concentrations (95%+). Must suck but Scythians originated in eastern Europe, not Asia. Same applies to the R1a group dominant in slavs, seeing as it's simply a "sister" group to R1b, as the "gothic" haplogroups I1 and I2 are to each other. Iranians are simply Caucasians mixed with Indians with minor contributions of Scythian, Semitic and Turkic ancestry.
It is also basic logic that as Scythians were unambiguously white and european and genetics, linguistics and contemporary accounts of them clearly show that along with their artistic motifs and gods, (with Scythian simply being a convenient umbrella term for more archaic/semi-nomadic Eastern European tribes and confederacies), with terms like Wend/Vandal basically meaning the same thing indicating their nomadic or semi-nomadic nature, those in large part descended from them can indeed legitimately claim to be more Scythian than Asians descended from them in part while mixed with totally unrelated peoples. It's the same logic as me saying that French people or for example part British French people in Brittany are more British than part-British Jamaicans, Italians are more British than Jamaicans for that matter. It is our culture and falls under our collective European identity. That little is known of pre-Scythian culture in Iran beyond (European) Jiroft and Elamite and (Indian) Lurs and (non-European) Caucasians and whatever they simply borrowed from the Akkadian empire isn't really our problem. The genetic and cultural contribution of Scythians on a large scale in Europe is beyond debate. It is our heritage.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 Lol, no, they're not, no more than Europeans are Japanese. Scythians were white, Iranians are not. I don't care about imported colonial Vedic culture, it means nothing, and Zoroastrianism bears little resemblance to the paganism Scythians practiced, because it didn't come from them, it came from either India or the Zagros mountains. Aryan simply means noble, and there's a reason it is linguistically linked to Eire or Ireland, because it's ours. It doesn't take a genius that there is only an "Indian" part of Indo-European languages at all because some Europeans spread to and mixed with Iranians and Indians. It means nothing and people who need to larp as other races are cringe, probably because they have no clearly definable roots of their own so all they can cling to is a mish mash of borrowed traditions and identities
I find it amazing that there's a story that unites and holds in common vast numbers of disparate people, and if properly understood could serve as a foundation for peaceful cooperation and coexistence between us. I find it even more amazing it's deliberately suppressed because they're the wrong colour for some people.

hi You did use wrong reference's (or to broad terms so do speak), ie. instead of 'iranians' you should speak of persians (ethnic iranians), bc 'iranians' itself is to broad of a term because of broad ethnic diversity mentioned by yourself; and instead of 'european you should speak of west eurasian (which both culturaly and genetically persians and iranians as a whole are) Also if you take into account 'Andronovo' (or Afanasjevo) culture as a birthplace of indo-iranians (=ancestors of iranic people, including many ethnicities now extinct like sarmatians, scythians, tocharians, yuezhi, bactrians) they were more of 'european' (=west eurasian) origin than modern day persians both in terms of their genetics and phenotypes.

I heard that there are some Ancient Iranians who became Slav, Spanish etc. today because of the migration to Spanish peninsula and that became Slavic in Balkans and Caucasus. Many of the river names (like Danube) of the Balkan land are also coming from Proto-Iranian language. By the way, I think Iranians look like Southern Europeans instead of other Middle Easterners. Some Levantine Arabs also look like Mediterranean European as they have mixed with them during Roman period I think and as I checked, I would say that yes some of them have. I think you can easily be mistaken for Spanish, Italian, and Greek in Europe and USA because of your look, if you are Iranian so.
@Joe Passenger Yes but I don't think that Southern Italians have 50 percent Middle Eastern DNA. Some of them have 20 percent maximum Middle Eastern DNA. Southern Italy was highly mixed. Not only Arabs or Semitic Levantine people but also Greeks(even more than Middle Easterns),Normans, North Africans and Italians brought their DNA there. The major DNA that people have in this region is Italian or Greek, not Middle Eastern actually.
@Joe Passenger Having darker skin and black/brown hair doesn't make a person Middle Eastern. I find Iranian facial structure similar to Southern Europeans. There is no one type of European actually. Indo-Europeans have mixed with local hunter-gatherers wherever they went. It brings the differences I think. For example from Iran to Spain, Indo-Europeans have mixed with neolithic farmers. In the North, Yamnaya people (hunter-gatherers also). But the culture was preserved as Indo-European as we see today also, Indo-European language family.
@Joe Passenger Georgians are another issue that I don't understand. Normally Georgians are not Indo-European but especially the western part of the country look like European. Circassians as well, and in genetic tests they are represented with West Asian which considers also Iran,Turkey,Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Do you have a knowledge about Georgians?
@Joe Passenger and I'm Zaza. They are probably the closest relatives of Caspian Iranians. Some historians say the word "Zaza" was given to them by Byzantines after the collapse of the Sassanid Empire and therefore the migration of them to Anatolia.
The group of iranians which became slavs called scythians, btw there are theories about that, but at least there had been close relations between scythians and slavs, specially Croats, poles, Serbians
Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian belong to on grop of Indoeuropean languages: "Satem". In the past, both groups (B-S & I-I) shared the "common idoeuropean part of ancestry" and were closely related with each other longer, than with the ancestors of Western Europeans. In Eastern Europe people are now more aware ot this aspect of their identyty. Slowly it becomes more and more popular.
Finally a Persian that admits Kurds being the descended of the Medes I mean even where they are located today pretty much Medes were as well, the northwestern language connection. Cyrus was Persian but also half Mede. And while Kurds doesn’t have that much of a big history like Persians they still have Saladin and Shah ismail, unfortunately it doesn’t surpass what Persians achieved they have the biggest Iranian history.
They are culturally and linguistically strongly tied to one and other and have some genetic overlaps but Kurds are still their own ethnicity. Kurds and Iranians are like half-brothers but they are still more connected with one and other than with Arabs or Turks.

actually we should say that European are persians ( iranian people )
CORRECTION: At 7:00 you said "descendants of the modern day Kurds". It would be "ancestors of the modern day Kurds." Informative video. Please keep up this good work. Thanks.
I found this overview of Iranian history quite fascinating. Thanks for sharing this history with us.
You made a few mistakes my friend. 1. 9:19 the ancient Iranian samples are not a little more "European" shifted. Ironically the modern Iranians are. This is down to the fact that after the Medes and Persians had formed. There were several more migrations of smaller groups belonging to the Scytho_Sarmatian and Cimmerian branches. The ancient Medes and Persians are slightly more West Asian/Mediterranean/ shifted while modern Iranic speakers are a little more (North) European/Central Asian and Turkic shifted. But still there is like a 90% genetic continuity since the early days. So not much changed.
2. The Farmers that went into Europe were not actually Natufians and the Natufians were still Hunters and Gatherers. Western Asia saw three big agricultural groups. Anatolian Farmers, Iranic_East Caucasus Farmers and Levantine Farmers. The Anatolian Farmers populated pretty much all of Europe. the Zagros/Iranian farmers populated South_Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
These Steppe Indo Europeans you mentioned were actually genetically around 50% descend of Farmers from the Zagros and Caucasus mountains. This is why when the Early Indo_Iranians met the BMAC and mixed with them, they were already predominantly (75%) of local West Asian origin.
Also sidenote. You shouldn't try to explain migration solely with Haplogroups. It doesn't work this way. aDNA is the way to go. J2 does not guarantee native West Asian origin and R does not guarantee Steppe Indo European ancestry. J Haplogroups have been found in the very eariest Indo_Iranians. And R Haplogroups such as R1b m269 has been found in Calcolthic Anatolia , Caucasus and Iran.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the time you took to write this and I'm always open to receiving feedback if any mistakes are made. When looking at the DNA clusters analysed, it appears that the Ancient Iranians had more steppe ancestry. How do we explain the Aryan Migrations otherwise? Are you able to show modern Iranian DNA clusters being closer to modern day Europeans?
What you have written about the Farmers is true. Anatolian farmers were responsible for giving rise to the early European farmers. I used the early Natufians as a rather broad generalisation, as it did not tie in with the focal point of the video, and I did not want to digress too far off topic. The clear point that is trying to be made is that Europeans themselves have contributions from near eastern populations, and this is often times overlooked. Needless to say, you are right about this.
As for the point regarding haplogroups, although autosomal DNA provides a clearer picture, we are still able to extract information from yDNA. Y DNA in particular can demonstrate the disposition of male populations. Say we have a higher proponent of a particular haplogroup which is known to have large frequencies within a population, and it makes a sudden appearance within a different population over time, it can be inferred that the males are having higher reproductive success. I often refer to haplogroups when exploring events where large demographic changes took place, whether it be the expansion of farming, Indo European migrations or any historic warfare where large demographic changes took place in general. A case example is the frequency of haplogroup C and O appearing in Central Asian populations following the migrations of both Turkic and Mongolic peoples. Although I acknowledge the point you are making.

Definitely interesting, you did a great job explaining, thank you
We Iranian people are not European, however both Europeans and Iranians are descended from a single common ancestor known as the Indo-Iranian Peoples. The Indo-Iranian People developed on the Central Asian Steppes north of the Caspian Sea (their culture is referred to as the Sintashta Culture) in southern Russia, or present-day Georgia (which included Volga and Ossetia) around 2200 to 1800 BCE, and later developed further into the "Andronovo Culture" circa 2000 to 900 BCE. Legend has it that this group of people had a major argument amongst each other, resulting in various groups migrating in different directions from another.
One segment of Iranians (Fars, Pars, or Medes) moved south and created the Persian Empire. The other segment known as Iranian Alans, migrated to Europe from Italy to Ireland to Scandinavia. One segment of Volga-Germans migrated to Europe and mixed in with the German-Vandals (from Scandinavia) and created today’s Germany. The other segment remained and mixed in with the Rus that migrated from Europe and formed today’s Russia. The Indo-Aryans split off around 2000 BCE to 1600 BCE from the Iranians, whereafter the Indo-Aryans migrated into Anatolia and, possibly in multiple waves, the Punjab (northern Pakistan and India), while the Iranians settled into Iran, both bringing with them the Indo-Iranian languages.
All of these groups, who would end up settling in an extremely vast area of land stretching from the Indian Subcontinent, all the way to the northernmost parts of Europe, and everything in between, are what many scholars commonly refer to as the "Aryan" people. All these people are related, albeit distantly. The Aryans in Iran would intermingle with and eventually absorb the Elamites, and the Aryans in India would eventually converge with the Dravidians (creating the caste system in India which still exists even to this day, although unofficially). It is believed that both the Elamites and Dravidians were indigenous South Asian hunter-gatherers distantly related to the Andamanese people, hence their dark skin and other unique physical characteristics. Knowing this deep-rooted history, Adolf Hitler attempted to exploit this ancient Aryan connection to get Iran to join their side before WWII officially began. Reza Shah, father of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, liked this idea, and even went so far as to change the name of the country from Persia to Iran (the latter meaning "Land of the Aryans") in 1935. However, Reza Shah's goal of uniting with Germany infuriated the Allied Powers, who would eventually invade Iran in 1941, forcing Reza Shah to abdicate in favor of his son (known as the Anglo-Soviet Invasion of Iran).
If someone asks whether Iranians and Europeans are related, the answer is yes AND no. Yes, in the sense that they both descend from a common ancient bronze age culture from the steppes, but no in the sense that both groups have been isolated from each other long enough that they have formed their own unique racial classifications. For example, Native Americans originated in Siberia, making them of Near Eastern Descent, which is evidenced by their physical characteristics. Furthermore, words in Yakut and other Siberian languages, along with words in some Native American languages, share the same root and meaning to this day due to this common origin. However, because Native Americans became isolated in North and South America after crossing over from the Bering Strait land bridge during the last ice age, they technically separated, genetically speaking, from peoples in Asia about 25,000 years ago, hence why on most, if not all, DNA ancestry tests available today, "Native American" has its own unique racial classification and is not lumped in the same category/classification as "East Asian."
In the unique case of Iranians, not only have we been isolated from our distant cousins in Europe for the last three to four thousand years, but we have also had a few alterations to our gene pool over the last two millennium, first by Semitic Arabs during the Islamic expansions of the 8th century AD, second by Central Asian Turkic tribes which invaded during the 11th Century AD (namely the Seljuk Turks, who descend from the Oghuz branch of the Turkic peoples, who would eventually set up the Seljuk Dynasty stretching from western Anatolia and the Levant to the Hindu Kush in the east, and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf in the south), and thirdly by the Mongolian Empire in the 13th Century AD, which conquered the whole of Iran (along with many other lands, of course), effectively annexing the Khwarazmian Dynasty. The influx of nomadic Turkmen and Mongols into the Iranian Plateau from Central Asia, starting with the Seljuk Empire, and continuing with the Mongol Empire and later other Turco-Mongol invaders, was so significant, that out of it arose a distinct culture known as the "Turco-Persian Tradition," in which a symbiosis of the two cultures occurred that was Persian in that it was centered on a lettered tradition of Iranian origin, and it was Turkic/Mongolic insofar as it was founded by and for many generations to come patronized by rulers of Turkic and Mongolic heredity (Ilkhanate Khaganate, Timurid Empire, Safavid Dynasty, Qajar Dynasty, etc.) and would end up dominating Iran from 999 AD all the way up until 1921, when Reza Shah finally toppled the last Turkic Dynasty in Iran (Qajar Dynasty) in a coup d’état, officially founding the Pahlavi Dynasty four years later in 1925 (the first fully Persian Dynasty to rule Iran in over a millennium).
In order of oldest to most recent, you could say that modern day Iranians are an amalgamation of the four following segments: (1) Indo-European Aryans who arrived in Iran about 4 thousand years ago from the Central Asian Steppes. Originally, they were nomadic, pastoral people inhabiting the western Iranian plateau. (2) Eastern Middle Eastern Farmers, otherwise known as the indigenous inhabitants of the Iranian Plateau that lived in Iran prior to the arrival of the Aryans from the north. These were the Elamites, who many historians believe were greatly outnumbered by the incoming Aryan speakers from the north, and eventually intermarried with the Aryan newcomers in mass, ultimately being absorbed by them to create a new Iranian race that gave rise to the Achaemenid Empire in the 6th century BC, officially bringing an end to the existence of Elam as an independent political power, although their cultural influence continued to live on and even lives to this day, (3) some admixture with Semitic Speakers as a result of the Islamic Conquest of Iran in the 7th Century AD by Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula, and to a lesser extent with large minorities of Jews and Assyrians who have been living in Iran alongside ethnic Iranians since Babylonian times, and (4) admixture with Turkic Nomads migrating in from Central Asia in three main waves, beginning with the Seljuks in the 11th century AD, Mongols in the 13th Century AD, and various Turkmen Tribes in the 16th Century AD, introducing a Central Asian/Eurasian component into the Iranian Gene pool that had not existed there before, as well as language misplacement from Farsi to Turkish languages via elite dominance, a legacy which lives to this day, namely among the Azeri, Qashqai, and Turkmen minorities of Iran.
In spite of the fact that Iran has been at the crossroads of world history for thousands of years, geographically lying at the intersection of three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa, which culminated into many prehistoric and historic interactions with other groups (Indo-European speakers, and non-Indo-European speaking groups alike), a genetic study done by a team of scientists from the University of Cologne, Germany, in 2019, shows that the entire gene pool of those living inside the borders of Iran today has remained largely unchanged over at least 5,000 years, but probably rather the past 10,000 years. This is based on genetic data of 1,021 volunteers that identified themselves as belonging to one of eleven recognized ethnic groups living in Iran today (Persians, Azeris, Baluchi, Gilakis, Mazanderani, and Lurs, to name a few). Furthermore, the data suggests that even despite repeated invasions and conquests of Iran by non-Iranic invaders, modern day Iranians still share a segment of their DNA with modern day Europeans, being distantly related to Europeans as a whole, predominantly with Southern Europeans like Greeks, Albanians, Serbs, Croatians, Italians, Bosniaks, Spaniards, Macedonians, Portuguese, and Bulgarians, rather than northern Europeans like Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, Finns, Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians, indicating a striking degree of homogeneity and genetic continuity over several millennia.

You need some original sanskrit texts reading for your ignorance to dissappear. But it's not your fault it's the effect of colonisation of world by europians and their theories .

Indus valley civilization is more old then what u mention recent studies shows its more then 5500 years old.
07:00 it's a theory. Most of Northern Iranians (including Azaris , Gilakis and Mazandaranis) are descendents of Medes. Not only Kurds.
Yes, I am half-Talysh. Talyshes descended from the Medes too.
@@bhka6423 Yes, indeed.
Interesting. I used the Kurds as the focal point of Median decent as the historic geographic domain of the Medes roughly corresponds with the distribution of the Kurdish Languages today.
@@AncestralBrew all of the Northwest Iranic speakers are descend of the Medes. It's just that Kurds are the main and biggest branch of it. The Parthians were literally the Sassanid equivalent to the Northwest Iranics. The Parthians were a dynasty that was build from local Median tribes as their language is Northwest Iranic.
@@sher7174 Parthians came from EASTERN Iran, which literally is the opposite side of the regions where there are Kurdish populations. The descendants of the Parthians are Mazandarnis and Gorganis. Not Kurds. The Parthian aristocratic/noble families are still present in Guilan and Mazandaran. One of them being the BAVAND family (Reza Shah Pahlavi was distantly related to that family). Parthians were not clanic, just like modern day Mazandaranis.
Very informative! This was a very beautifully articulated exposition of a blending of archeology, history, and population genetics that contribute to the construction of Iranian culture. Though brief, he has shown some basics of the pre-history going to the early history of Iran in a meaningful way. I would love to hear him expand further on many of these topics, particularly where genetics can lend insight where history and archeology cannot. For example the connection between these early Zagros farmers and their links to Caucasian Hunter-Gatherers, Basal Eurasians, and possibly to other Ancient North Eurasian groups other than the Indo-European Aryans. But from this video what I can say is that would appreciate more content from this youtuber. Hopefully more videos are to come.

Nice video despite of some errors. The biggest error was claiming that our Azeris have 90% turkic genetics. They are genetically, culturally n historically Iranians (most likely descendants of the Medes) but started speaking Azeri, a turkic language due to the Turkish occupation that lasted for several centuries.
Language is much more important than genetic. Tajiks look like turkic but They speak iranian.
@@serkantemiz7565 tajiks are still at very least 80 percent iranic. Azaris don't have up to 10 percent turkic blood at most..many don't have a drop of that blood. Same thing in anatolia. All turkic speakers in central asia have iranic blood..some up to 70/80 percent.
@@sunny-td7qg look we all human came from Africa. We spread those language all over the world. So. Blood, genetic is not important on your identity.
maybe the problem is...that most turkish have many anatolian/caucasian/iranian blood...since the turkpeople just conquered and colonized that lands...bringing the language and culture to this regions where greeks, armenians, kurdish and many other people lived)...people converted or where converted to islam, many soldiers where token from Balcan etc. etc. so it is same in Azerbaydschan...of course...most countries use the legendary folk who brought language and other culture to
to strengthen and unite the people against other politic formations...think we are still at this horrible position...we kill our own brothers and sisters, and of course it is easier if they have different language or religion and the country in question can relate to a specific people, a people who founded this political formation... and so today all Mexicans speak Spanish for example ...only a few have managed not to lose their roots...and even these are abused and mobbed by those who have already converted etc. etc.
@@sunny-td7qg Whatever, still Azeris are Turkic people as they speak a Turkic language and have a very strong Turkic (Azeri/Azerbaijani) culture and identity. No one gives a shit about ancestry or genes except for racist Nazi-loving Persian supremacists & pan-Iranists.
Indians and Iranians are historically, culturally, linguistically and genetically long lost cousins. It's sad how this connection has disappeared from the conscience of contemporary indians and iranians. The only reminder of that connection in popular culture of india is the small but vibrant parsi (zoroastrian) community, while iranians seem to have forgotten it entirely since their arab invassion. Great video.
Even our languages are so similar! It’s a shame that the Indian-iranian connection is mostly just seen in Zoroastrian communities when our connections go back thousands of years

@@MegamiSaikou that’s good to know. Funny enough, we do the same in syria when greeting people. Italy invaded Syria at some point in history and so they took a lot of our customs and we took lots of theirs too.

From what I understand, Hungarians have also got some influence/mixing with Persians during their nomadic journey on the way to their final settlement in the Carpathian Basin. The irony in this is that Hungarians are not Indo-European, however they have blended and mixed with Indo-European cultures significantly enough, that it is hard to make a distinction. Fascinating insights.
Indo European means the language root of these peoples. It doesn't mean race. Hungarian language is from the Hun/Xiongnu on the northern border of ancient China and Hungarians' DNA has 10 % similarities with Chinese
@@userwsyz Yes you are correct. I should have been more precise in my definition.
In Iran we still have Hungarian villages all Hungarian settled in Iran from few 100 yrs back
@@khashayar8989 Thank you for your response. I never realised that Hungarians were in Iran to that extent. Having read a bit more since I posted the original comment, I understand that Persians and Hungarian tribes lived together and absorbed cultural influences to a greater degree than I previously thought.
I can tell you one more thing to make you still more confused. Like me, an Iranian.
There is a phrase or part of a text in the bible which says :"FINN and HUNGAR were two brothers who came from PERSIA.
FINN= Finland, HUNGAR = Hungary.
The theories of the anthropologists and historians are of course of high scientific value. I don't question the credibility of those theories although a lot of times these historical facts are manipulated and deliberately twisted and misrepresented mainly by Anglo-Saxon Europeans like the English. But one thing I, as a normal and curious individual believe a lot of us forget to acknowledge is the highly dynamic nature of ancient people. Emigrations have always been going on during the course of history and societies have always been mixing and moving more than we anticipate.

R1a is most common amongst the Sorbs, the Poles, the Belarusians, the Russians and other Balto-Slavs as well as in the area of the Indian Subcontinent. When the Aryans were marching from the Pontic Step they were relatively peaceful when they brought the Indo-European language to Ancient Persia, but later, they linked up with other Indo-Europeans traveling from Sintashta (first military research facility) and riding chariots. They joined together rode chariots and drunk Soma (most likely ephedra tea) into the Indian subcontinent. The locals fought them tooth and nail, so they only went where they chariots aided their progress. In a way, they went home because R1a originates from India. This 'going back home' created extremely genetically varied R1a in India.

Sumeru people were Dravidian and relatives of Indus valley civilization which was called Melluha in ancient Mesopotamian seal. Sumerian cities viz Ur, Nippur or Assur has the suffix "ur" still found in many Indian cities like Kanpur, Nagpur and Jaipur. Sumerian language was Dravidian language extincted when Akkadian speaking warrior tribe invaded Assur city and named themselves "Assur" or "Assur/Ashur King". This warrior tribe belongs to the same tribe of BMAC who used to consume Soma Homa psychedelic drung extracted from Opium and Ephedra. Soviet archaeologist Viktor Sarinidhi had a deep research on BMAC and demonstrated that soma homa consuming tribe stayed in that area used to worshiped fire. Viktor also correlated the fire temple of BMAC with that of Northern Mesopotamia. One one important key point is that you can found Opium poppies in the hands of Assur kings in many ancient seals of Assyrians.
Assyrians were the branch of Aryan tribe of BMAC. Sumeru people were black and Dravidian who migrated East ward when Assyrians/Akkadian people fully take control over Sumerian civilization. This is the transition phase civilization named Babylonia. Elamites were Sumeru peoples who continue to migrated East through Brahui Area to their native Indus valley.
During Babylon period around 2000 BC prophet Ibrahim/Abrahim was expelled out from Babylonia.
Hebrew peoples were the desandant from Dravidian Sumeru peoples as you there are few Tamila words found in old testament. One of the key observation is that Hebrew Abba word is synonyms or very much close to Tamil word Appa, same as Hebrew Ima is close to Tamil word Amma, thats why there is correlation between Dravids,Sumeru, Elamites, Hebrew and Tamil rather than Indo European.

It dawned on me today that when people criticized them for the location difference that they never considered that these people migrated west through the Mediterranean to the Rhine River or they migrated into the Black Sea through the Danube (perhaps both) to arrive at these locations. Perfectly explaining the western turkey location and transmission of R1b haplogroup to northern and northwestern Europe.
He wouldn't surprise me if the Norse mythology of Yggdrasil (the world tree that connects the 9 realms) was actually the Rhine Delta and Danube rivers. After all the Salian Franks were located at the mouth of the Danube near the Rhine and then moved west of the Rhine when pushed out by other German tribes.
A western people, the Trojans, were likely some mixture of Hittite and Greek influences.
Romes founding myth is based on troy, aenisis was a trojan prince who was grand father of Romulus
Iranians are not Europeans, but their ancestors and the ancestors of the Europeans both came from the Caucasus, and were closely related. It’s just like the Turks and the Mongols. The Turks are not Mongolians, but their ancestors were closely related to the ancestors of the Mongols.
Present-day Kurds are an amalgam of multiple ancient groups, for example Medes/Persians, Assyrians/Armenians, and Hittites/Hurrians/Lydians. The idea that Kurds are the direct successor of Medes is something that was picked up by Kurdish nationalists and has been thoroughly debunked. It is at best a gross oversimplification.
The Kurds are mostly Chalcolithic and Neolithic Iranians and descended from the Hajji Firuz sample which is from Kermanshah. That means that Kurds are indeed of Median origin, but they are not the only people who originated from the Medes.
@@bhka6423 I haven't seen the genetic studies, but based on geographical evidence, Medes would have absorbed non-Iranian indigenous tribes such as Mannaeans, and they invaded Hurrian/Urartian and also Assyrian area. Kurdistan region in present-day Iraq, effectively covers the entire ancient Assyrian homeland. I don't believe that Medians remained reproductively isolated from all the peoples they conquered. It is more reasonable to assume that present-day Kurds received genetic input from all the various tribes that once occupied the area - not Medians alone. I suspect that genetically this would be reflected in the fact that Kurds are more west shifted.
Yea I said for years. Kurds are descendant from Medes. PARTIALLY
a partiality is a oversimplification.
Kurds descend from dozens of ethnicities of Iranic and Anatolian origins but of different percentage and even then it overlaps in ancestry with other ethnicities. Not exclusive and not a universal for all in each Kurdish tribe.
Nuanced stuff like that.
Kurds are a product of a fusion of people into becoming a Confederation.
They are X, Y and Z ethnicities as a subsequent product but those same ethnicities are in themselves not Kurds in the rule of subsequent history events.
@@nickm7911 eurasiandna.com/2659-2/
Our formal analysis using qpAdm subject to the numerous precautions and strict protocols outlined under “Methods & Materials” indicates that contemporary Iraqi Kurds are predominantly Mede derived (p-values 0.33 & 0.47, fig 2), with approximately :
71% Indo-Iranian Mede related ancestry as proxied by the 2700 year old Hasanlu-IA near a Kurdish region in Iran (fig 1);
7-11% ancient Neolithic Levant farmer related;
17-22% Indo-Iranian Central Asian Scythian/Sarmatian related. Some of this component of ancestry could have been mediated to Kurds via the 2000 year old Parthians. This is consistent with Gernot Windfuhr, professor of Iranian Studies, placing Kurdish under the Parthian branch, albeit with a Median substratum [9] (fig 9).
This genetic study confirms that Kurds are the descendants of the Medes and also Iraqi Kurds who are Assyrian, according to you. All Kurds descend from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic Iranian sample and also from the Aryans. What another study also says is that DNA from the BMAC culture was found in Kurds.

I read the paper that you sent me. An interesting point I want to mention is regarding the part where it talks about incorporating peoples from South Russian Steppe (e.g. Scythians) into the models. Perhaps the authors were unaware, but Scythians had an an alliance with Assyrians against Medes; and Cimmerians (another people of approximately the same kind) had an an alliance with Medes against Assyrians! Intermarriages would have taken place (e.g. the Scythian king married the daughter of Asarhaddon).
But, in any case, the paper is at best a simulation based on insufficient evidence and data. They used very few isolated ancient samples that they interpreted to be whatever may appeal to their imagination (that is how they deduced what a “Mede” genetic profile would have looked like).
My point is that you can't connect a modern ethnicity like Kurd to only one single ancient population. Modern people received input from multiple groups. Even the paper you linked does not dispute this.
I admire your effort to study deeply about where you come from.
Marvellous parting sentiment ('By understanding ...').

Iranians are NOT European. They may have some Indo Europen ancestry, but that has been overwhelmingly mixed with Iranian Neolithic, East Asian, Caucasus Chalcolithic ancestry.
6:34 - excuse me, why you show the chariot from the Oxus treasure but present is as Iranian??? Indeed, it was mastered during Akhemenids empire, but in the lands of modern Tajikistan/Afghanistan! Would you call anything Iranian if it would be suddenly found in Lebanon or Armenia, also Akhemenids satrapias? Your intention to equate everything "Iranian" just because those lands were conquered and comprised several empires some times ago is totally awful, because in this way Arabs, Turks and Russians can call these lands/artefacts "Arab, Turkic and Russian". And Spain might call artefacts found in Philippines - Spanish, Portugal - in India and some parts of China and Africa, France - in Vietnam, Thailand and MOST of Africa, Netherlands - in Indonesia and other colonies.
Using your logic, should I list here everything that might be called "British" considering their empire being the biggest (not commonly bordered) in the human written history?
Thank you for this. As an Iranian American, I'm so tired of Iranians acting like the most authentic Iranian is some blue-eyed, pale-skinned person and that the ultimate Iranian beauty is someone with fair skin and light eyes that resembles your average Northern European.
Yes, the region of Iran is home to many fair-haired, white-skinned, light-eyed people, but that is not what necessarily makes an authentic Iranian.
With the exception of someone like Golshifteh Farahani, it is almost as though Iranians are ashamed to hoist up a person with black hair, beige skin, and dark eyes as a representative of their country because they think that person looks more Indian or Arab. They are too infatuated with being linked to Germans and other Europeans that they are blind to the most common phenotypes and beautiful features that are found in Iran.
I feel targeted lol
Exactlyy like majority of us are olive skinned with typical Middle Eastern features, cuz we ARE Middle Eastern😭😭😭they need to break that cycle
@@Wolvendom But should you identify more with Arabs and Turks than with European Aryans? I hope not. Sadly, Iranians in Anglo countries seem to want to disassociate themselves from "white people" which is primarily used as synonymous with Europeans. And it's true that most Iranians cannot easily "pass" as European. But I find it sad when Iranians identify more as "middle easterners" than as Aryan.
@davide zham Please don't return to the US.
@@SSs-ch4ey
Iranian culture (as it stands today and throughout many centuries) even for less religious Iranians, is much more similar to the cultures of Arabs and Turks than it is to Europeans. This is a reality check every Iranian who leaves Iran to go live abroad comes to realize and thus, naturally and more accurately identifies as “Middle Eastern.”
There is a lot of crossover between Farsi, Turkish, and Arab languages. Many of the spices we use in the foods are the same. The taste in music is similar and so are the values and customs.
Additionally, since the word “Aryan” is universally associated with Nazism, when a black haired, brown eyed, beige complected, short stature Iranian whom Hitler would have ordered to be taken to the gas chamber calls him/herself “Aryan” in the international community, it is the stupidest, most ignorant, most laughable sounding thing to those outside the Iranian community.
The fact is that those tall, blue-eyed, blonde Germans and other Nordic people have dissociated from the word “Aryan” due to its offensiveness.
So keep referring to yourself as “Aryan,” thinking it links to you to blue-eyed, blonde Nordic people and get laughed 😂 at by the entire world 🌍 if that is what you want so bad.
I stand by reality. Most Iranians have black hair, brown eyes, more Semitic looking noses 👃 (prior to nose jobs), and guess what? That’s the typical Iranian beauty that I’m proud of, not some phony baloney inferiority complex.
I stumbled upon this video while looking up Rick Stein’s cooking programs: India, then Iran. 😂. Very glad to hear this thorough presentation- as I’m Iranian and never really went this in depth. Thank you!
So pretty much, Iranian groups speak an Indo-European languages but are not European.
Correct. They are not genetically related to modern northern Europeans
AncestralBrew yes they are the Andronovo where manly Northern European so Iranians must at least have some Northern European dna and Iranians are definitely majority European overall. They aren’t European but they do have a lot of influence.
@@Lockfly I've done 2 genetic tests, my genetic tests on calculators such as GEDMATCH show around 10-13% European admixture so yes

One crucial update from recent research lead by Vasant Shinde and his British colleagues, the art of farming had been independently evolved and it never.been borrowed from outside of India.
I love how he tried to claim the proto Indo European split into two groups forming Corded Ware and the Aryans , yet DNA evidence clearly shows that corded ware culture is the ancestors of the Aryans, androvono culture is not closer to modern Iran then modern northern and eastern European, clearly by the PCA they cluster with modern European
Corded ware admixed with Yamnaya to produce the sintashta, srubnaya and andronovo cultures. They are not the direct descendants but you are right about the PCA charts. Andronovo groups cluster most closely to Norwegians than iranians. The Persians who formed the Achaemenid empire had more steppe ancestry than the rest of the population suggesting the impacts of an indo European culture on an existing Elamite framework.
@@AncestralBrew fair enough I'll agree to that and don't take what I said the wrong way as being the closest population to zargos farmers is quite a big deal all on its own, but the main issue for me with what you just said is the fact that r1a is not found in yamnya and majority corded ware is r1a while yamnya is r1b, the stredy stog pre yamnya carry r1a z93 and already have neolithic Anatolian admixture, the lastest corded ware study came out this month specific mentioned that early corded ware shows relation to Latvia middle neolithic who also carry r1a and Ukraine enolithic, was found as a better proxy then yamnya, the 2019 study formation of south and central Asia says "the steppe ancestry that eventually reached south and central Asia was not the initial eastern migration but a secondary migration that was 67 percent steppe and 33 percent on the European cline, we replicate this groups as involving people of the corded ware culture, sintashta culture, scubnya culture and androvono culture,
2020 saag et al' fatyanovo study 24 people from 2600 bc all males carried r1a z93, and we're most closely related to modern northern and eastern European while around a third of the samples were blonde hair and or blue eyed,
Yamnya never migrated to Iran or India, corded ware culture spread Indo Iranian language, as well as Celtic, Baltic and italic,
We are all brothers
A fun study for Iranians to read is the new Romans study a few days ago, as the imperial era shows increase of Iran chl DNA a group closely related to modern Iranian, further cementing the evidence we have both influence each other cultures time and time again and much more connected then we realize, as steppe DNA itself I believe is eastern European hunter gatherer and Iran chl, roughly 50/50, which would technically make them a fusion of northern Europeans and Iranian/south Asians
@@AncestralBrew Would that mean that the Fars province, in antiquity, consisted of a majority of these steppe people? I haven't been able to find much information on j2; is it possible to go into a bit more?
Thank you any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Iranians are not Europeans, but they are related to us, in 3 ways, in linguistics, pagan religions, and in genetics: Both Indo-European!
its is nice that you are really honest and see that many turkish people live in iran... bravo.... you are intelligent.... i like persian history much... i am a mix of kurd turk and circassian.... but while Selcuk (Turkish) Empire in Iran, we mixed MUCH with the persians... so many Turks from Turkey have also Persian dna...

Are Persians Europeans? No we are not.... furthermore, Persian is not necessarily an ethnicity. It is a cultural umbrella terms which encompasses many different peoples and tribes. This notion of Ethno-nationalism is an extremely Eurocentric/ modern Colonial approach to identity and it is not necessarily applied to the Iranic peoples and cultures.

I'm writing something with a chapter on the Achaemenid Persians. It may become a film. I'm just trying to figure out what percentage of people would have brown, green and blue eyes at that time and what percentage of change there has been since 550 BC to now. By slight shift to Steppe ancestry and more Turkic admixture can you give a percentage? I'm trying to connect East and West, not just through genetics but culture and the Persians are key.

British historians and linguists claim that about 40% of place names in England alone (excluding Scotland, Wales and Ireland) are translated from the Ossetian language. At the University of London there is a department of the Alan-Ossetian language, which is considered Old Saxon. In Germany, the Ossetian language is defined as an Old German, Low Saxon dialect. Moreover, the Ossetian language is studied at the universities of Germany and France. There is even a faculty. Note the Ossetian language is studied as the language of the Scythians, Sarmatians and Alans ...
A little preface:
The Ossetian language, as a unique remnant of the language of the ancient Iranians - the Scythians, Sarmatians and Alans, has long attracted special attention of world science.

"In the Caucasus, where the Western Asian race as a whole predominates, European and Asian groups collide. The knightly people of Ossetians, descendants of the Alans, are taller, among them 30% are blondes with bright eyes. With their Iranian language, this is not surprising."

History of the Pamirs!!! One of the earliest descriptions of the Pamirs can be found in the diaries of the Chinese Xuan-Tsang, who passed through it as a Buddhist pilgrim in the summer of 642. But Europe learned about the existence of the Pamirs much later - in the 13th century, after the publication of the diaries of the Venetian Marco Polo, who visited it in 1270, traveling along the Silk Road with other merchants. His memories seemed so incredible that they were questioned for a long time. And only now can one be surprised with what amazing accuracy he described everything that he saw. The very interpretation of the word “Pamir” still causes numerous disputes: some believe that it came from the abbreviation of the words “upa-Meru”, that is, “the country above Meru”, the divine mountain of the Indians, the habitat of the god Shiva, denoting the center of the Universe (it mentioned in the Indian poem "Mahabharata", 6th century BC); others from “Poi Mehr”, which means “foot of the sun”; the third - from the Chinese “Po-mi-lo”, that is, “land of the rising sun”. But recent historical and linguistic studies are inclined to believe that the word “Pamir” should be translated as “Country of the Aryans” (as well as Iran and Kashmir). In the legends of the Iranians, this is the legendary country of Aryana-Vaija, at the source of the Oxus (Amu Darya), from where Zarathustra came and from where they began their settlement throughout Western Asia in ancient times. In the Indian tradition, this is the mystical center of the universe, where the earth connects with the sky, the source of knowledge and world order. According to legend, a person burdened with sins does not dare to approach him, and a righteous person who sets foot on this earth never returns back. The Pamirs have long attracted the attention of scientists, but many of the secrets of its history have remained unrevealed. Despite the fact that for a long time small groups of related tribes from neighboring territories penetrated into the Pamirs, over the past centuries little has changed in the material culture, social structure and folk beliefs of the local residents.The closeness and unity of the ancestors of various Indo-Iranian tribes is evidenced by their common self-name It was widely known both from the most ancient Iranian and Indian texts, and from other sources. The modern comes from the same name - from the ancient Iranian (Country of the Aryans); Indian (Country of the Aryans) - Northern India or part of it with its center in the interfluve of Jammu and Ganges t i.e. one of the oldest Aryan centers in India) Avestan (Aryan expanse) - the legendary homeland of the Iranians; names of a number of Iranian tribes of fiery groups: the Median tribe of the Aryans (tribe of the Aryans), the Sarmatian tribe of the Aryans, the tribal union of the Alans (as well as the self-name of the Ossetians in their Nart epic - allon - from the ancient Iranian Aryan and shugni (shugni) Pamir tribal union, etc.

>using paternal haplogroups as an indicator for genetic profile
by that logic Eastern Europeans would be more closely related to North Indians than Western Europeans, and that is obviously ridiculous. Autosomal DNA analysis is by far and wide a superior method of determining genetics than Y Haplogroups.
Big mistake here 1:35 The Azerbaijanis and qashqai aren’t iranic peoples they are Turkic, and the part that lumps turkmens Georgians and Armenians as culturally Iranian is just laughable that’s just ignorant from the one that made the image.
The right question would be, Are Europeans Iranian? And the answer is yes, from ancient languages to myths and religion they are. Indo-European languages and ancient Central and North European pagan religions which all have roots in Mithraism and even Christianity.
@StraightFaceGang First of all, it's the reverse, Europeans are Iranians, not the other way around, genetically and historically that's easy to prove, just study a bit of history, start from Tocharian mummies and Mithraism. you still celebrate norowz, don't you? you speak persian, not arabic, don't you? there is still some Iranian left in you. Just because Iran was invaded by arabs and mongols, doesn't mean you have to be subdued by British made up history and believe you are not Iranian anymore. As Nietzsche and Hegel said Iranians were the first historical people and they are still here. from central asia, to kurds to kalash. they are very diverse genetically now but they share the Iranian civilization which will revive fully someday again as it has survived for 10000 years or more. Thus Spake Zarathustra, it will speak again.
@StraightFaceGang yeah unfortunately it's way beyond your level, that's clear. Never mind
@roberto lang That is not surprising at all, there were many waves of migration of proto-iranians and iranians to Iberia. the latest one was by Ilyans (Ilani/Irani as they call themselves, since l and r were interchangeable in old iranian language) or as Europeans call them as Allens that went to Iberia with ostrogoths and found catalonia. it's speculated the recent migration were as the result of turkic tribes push to the western steppes from north-east siberia and pushing Iranian tribes further to south and west. The eastern iranian tribes such as touranians/tokhrians were not so lucky and almost completely got decimated by first turkic tribes and later by mongols/chinesse push to the west.
@roberto lang yes there were many waves of migration, 2000BC then you are talking about Minoans time, it's speculated they were the first to colonize Iberia and probably the only ones who had the sea knowledge and capability to do so at that time. Hittites and Phoenicians appeared 500-1000 years later. So much knowledge and advances were lost when Minoans were destroyed first by volcanic eruptions and right after, by Greeks. a true loss for humanity. If Minoans had survived, humanity would reach where it is now, probably 2000 years earlier and a more humane history.
@roberto lang wow nice . Can i ask where are zou from exactly
I have considered the possibility J2, which many see as a "Semitic" haplogroup identifier essentially, actually shows when Indians spread out from India and mixed with populations around the middle east, Arabia and east Africa. It is clear Iran does have some Indian admixture, more so than it has Arabic admixture despite what many might assume, and this probably goes back a long way. I think also the Gutian peoples were somewhat exotic, perhaps akin to Huns, Kurds or even Romani gypsies, and a lot makes sense when you study ancient allegiances, wars and who was continually aggressive towards whom. The bulk of native Iranian ancestry actually would be similar to the equivalent in Turkey (though Turkey was rather diversified by Greek migration, which explains east African/Ethiopian haplogroup there, and minor central Asian admixture) - Both Ancient Anatolians and Ancient Persians were essentially a mixture of the broader "Trojan" peoples, which I would say includes Scythians in large part (recent studies have actually argued PIE comes from Anatolia, not central Asia, and there is a lot of similarity between the costumes, weapons etc of Hittites and Scythians) and the native Hurrian and Caucasian peoples. It's also worth noting how closely Alexander and the Macedonians related to Ancient Persians- he took Persian wives, embraced Persian customs, not because he was interested in anything overly exotic but because he saw them as the same people in large part, which they were.
I have huge love and respect for Iranians and though like Turks they aren't exactly the same as they were in antiquity, they similarly take a lot of pride in their ancient heritage, which is more than you can say about a lot of places. I also find the "pan-Arab nationalism" narrative particularly toxic and seems to be used as a way of firstly generalising in the west about "middle-easterners" and secondly as a way of basically denying several groups their own distinct regional identity. This also applies to the likes of Syrians, seen by many as an "Arab nation" even though they clearly aren't Arabs (though have some admixture) and identify in large part as Syrians, not Arabs. I also not sure sure the vast majority of Persians sure as hell don't identify as Arabs either hahaha. It would be like describing half of Europe as "Greek" because of conversion to Christianity, it's absurd.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 No, sorry bud. J2 is Semitic and Caucasian, which is why those regions are mixed race and white European regions descended from actual Scythians aren't. As someone actually conquered by turks and central Asian Parthians you have more Turk ancestry than western Europeans with the highest levels of Scythian ancestry do.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 You're more related ethnically to Indians than you are to Ancient Scythians and genetics show that.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 They don't lol. Your ancestry is closest to that of Armenians and mixed Caucasians who were around in Iran long before Scythians were, and genetic tests have actually shown the contribution of Scythians to be minimal. Hence why you have to lie about R1a and R1b haplogroups claiming they're mongol, because you can't cope with the undisputed fact that western Europeans, particularly those in Britain, Ireland and even Basque country, have that Scythian haplogroup in extremely high concentrations (95%+). Must suck but Scythians originated in eastern Europe, not Asia. Same applies to the R1a group dominant in slavs, seeing as it's simply a "sister" group to R1b, as the "gothic" haplogroups I1 and I2 are to each other. Iranians are simply Caucasians mixed with Indians with minor contributions of Scythian, Semitic and Turkic ancestry.
It is also basic logic that as Scythians were unambiguously white and european and genetics, linguistics and contemporary accounts of them clearly show that along with their artistic motifs and gods, (with Scythian simply being a convenient umbrella term for more archaic/semi-nomadic Eastern European tribes and confederacies), with terms like Wend/Vandal basically meaning the same thing indicating their nomadic or semi-nomadic nature, those in large part descended from them can indeed legitimately claim to be more Scythian than Asians descended from them in part while mixed with totally unrelated peoples. It's the same logic as me saying that French people or for example part British French people in Brittany are more British than part-British Jamaicans, Italians are more British than Jamaicans for that matter. It is our culture and falls under our collective European identity. That little is known of pre-Scythian culture in Iran beyond (European) Jiroft and Elamite and (Indian) Lurs and (non-European) Caucasians and whatever they simply borrowed from the Akkadian empire isn't really our problem. The genetic and cultural contribution of Scythians on a large scale in Europe is beyond debate. It is our heritage.
@卍Prince Of Persia卍 Lol, no, they're not, no more than Europeans are Japanese. Scythians were white, Iranians are not. I don't care about imported colonial Vedic culture, it means nothing, and Zoroastrianism bears little resemblance to the paganism Scythians practiced, because it didn't come from them, it came from either India or the Zagros mountains. Aryan simply means noble, and there's a reason it is linguistically linked to Eire or Ireland, because it's ours. It doesn't take a genius that there is only an "Indian" part of Indo-European languages at all because some Europeans spread to and mixed with Iranians and Indians. It means nothing and people who need to larp as other races are cringe, probably because they have no clearly definable roots of their own so all they can cling to is a mish mash of borrowed traditions and identities
Thank you for your insight. Keep up the good work.
Personally I think the question is wrong……it should be “are Europeans Iranian?” The Persians were here way before any Europeans.
I find it amazing that there's a story that unites and holds in common vast numbers of disparate people, and if properly understood could serve as a foundation for peaceful cooperation and coexistence between us.
I find it even more amazing it's deliberately suppressed because they're the wrong colour for some people.
Hello, I'm Hmong and I've stumbled across a couple of readings saying that we were originally from Iran, migrated through the Steppe and eventually ended up Eastern China. We may be proto-Mongols too but if anyone knows anything about Hmong please share.
No. Hmong are not really related to Mongols at all. You are closer to Chinese people.
@@АскарТуребеков-ж2н Since we went through so many extermination after wars where the men were all killed and young boys castrated, then sent their men to live in the villages it's possible our DNA got messed up.
No. Iranians are proud Eurasians. Not Europeans. Thank you.
This was a clickbait title. I'll be more conscious of the titles I use in the future
Lmfao! Turks don't even claim to be European (even tho our country is partly in Europe and we have Euro DNA) let alone Iranians 😂.
Not exactly in some iranians are around 60_80 % R1a1a and ... some iranians carry around 5% R haplogroups, some 30%, Iran is a supermixed multiracial country therefore some iranians are more indo european than europeans some are very middle eastern some are asian
@@MrRemixV3 because we iranians speak an indo european language it was assumed that we share the same background. Its not about geography
@@MrRemixV3 Almost all Turks I met claimed that they are European even those from the East lol
I clicked on this video just by chance but I am glad I did, well done.
Where can I find the background music in 1:30?
Thanks for the informative video.
hi
You did use wrong reference's (or to broad terms so do speak), ie. instead of 'iranians' you should speak of persians (ethnic iranians), bc 'iranians' itself is to broad of a term because of broad ethnic diversity mentioned by yourself; and instead of 'european you should speak of west eurasian (which both culturaly and genetically persians and iranians as a whole are)
Also if you take into account 'Andronovo' (or Afanasjevo) culture as a birthplace of indo-iranians (=ancestors of iranic people, including many ethnicities now extinct like sarmatians, scythians, tocharians, yuezhi, bactrians) they were more of 'european' (=west eurasian) origin than modern day persians both in terms of their genetics and phenotypes.
Nevertheless, great video
kind regards from PL
nobody is pure blood persian. Historically makes no sesnse
In iran theres a lot of different diverse ethnicities, im iranian from a qashqai tribe, but im not pure blooded qashqai, part of my family is kurt, the other part is turk, the other part is persian
@@pgh6568 exactly. Same here. I am turk, georgian, persian. And Seyyed, so maybe Arab, maybe not. Point is were all a mix of these tribes now. Except if your baluch, because they are very separated from everyone else
@@Toojool Iranians on average are around 95% the same genetically as ancient Achaemenid and Sassanid Persians according to genetic studies. Go to Iran talk's channel on RUclips if you wanna learn our genetics
I heard that there are some Ancient Iranians who became Slav, Spanish etc. today because of the migration to Spanish peninsula and that became Slavic in Balkans and Caucasus. Many of the river names (like Danube) of the Balkan land are also coming from Proto-Iranian language. By the way, I think Iranians look like Southern Europeans instead of other Middle Easterners. Some Levantine Arabs also look like Mediterranean European as they have mixed with them during Roman period I think and as I checked, I would say that yes some of them have. I think you can easily be mistaken for Spanish, Italian, and Greek in Europe and USA because of your look, if you are Iranian so.
@Joe Passenger Yes but I don't think that Southern Italians have 50 percent Middle Eastern DNA. Some of them have 20 percent maximum Middle Eastern DNA. Southern Italy was highly mixed. Not only Arabs or Semitic Levantine people but also Greeks(even more than Middle Easterns),Normans, North Africans and Italians brought their DNA there. The major DNA that people have in this region is Italian or Greek, not Middle Eastern actually.
@Joe Passenger Having darker skin and black/brown hair doesn't make a person Middle Eastern. I find Iranian facial structure similar to Southern Europeans. There is no one type of European actually. Indo-Europeans have mixed with local hunter-gatherers wherever they went. It brings the differences I think. For example from Iran to Spain, Indo-Europeans have mixed with neolithic farmers. In the North, Yamnaya people (hunter-gatherers also). But the culture was preserved as Indo-European as we see today also, Indo-European language family.
@Joe Passenger Georgians are another issue that I don't understand. Normally Georgians are not Indo-European but especially the western part of the country look like European. Circassians as well, and in genetic tests they are represented with West Asian which considers also Iran,Turkey,Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Do you have a knowledge about Georgians?
@Joe Passenger and I'm Zaza. They are probably the closest relatives of Caspian Iranians. Some historians say the word "Zaza" was given to them by Byzantines after the collapse of the Sassanid Empire and therefore the migration of them to Anatolia.
The group of iranians which became slavs called scythians, btw there are theories about that, but at least there had been close relations between scythians and slavs, specially Croats, poles, Serbians
So these Tamil nationslists in UK who screams about ELAM NATION is correct???
kinda
Awesome video! ❤
Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian belong to on grop of Indoeuropean languages: "Satem". In the past, both groups (B-S & I-I) shared the "common idoeuropean part of ancestry" and were closely related with each other longer, than with the ancestors of Western Europeans. In Eastern Europe people are now more aware ot this aspect of their identyty. Slowly it becomes more and more popular.
Finally a Persian that admits Kurds being the descended of the Medes I mean even where they are located today pretty much Medes were as well, the northwestern language connection. Cyrus was Persian but also half Mede. And while Kurds doesn’t have that much of a big history like Persians they still have Saladin and Shah ismail, unfortunately it doesn’t surpass what Persians achieved they have the biggest Iranian history.
They are culturally and linguistically strongly tied to one and other and have some genetic overlaps but Kurds are still their own ethnicity. Kurds and Iranians are like half-brothers but they are still more connected with one and other than with Arabs or Turks.
Kurds are indeed descendants of Medes as Medes are their primary and main Iranic ancestors
@@nomosciya8805 actually most Kurds are more related with Turks and north Iranian people like Azeri then persians i did DNA test and we were very distinct from persians other then language the closest people to me were azeri turks and first were Kurds of course

Why European? Why does Europe have to be the standard
Because they are rich, and the poor want to be like the rich.Because they are rich, and the poor want to be like the rich, in addition to the propaganda they can do
Fuck UK and France
Agriculture origins are not set in stone my friend because in Bosnia they have massive ancient structures that date between 30.000bc 20.000bc maybe even older they 100% had agriculture because you need to feed those people working on those big projects like that plus sun worship & agriculture go hand & hand. So much for those so called historians
