Let me know your thoughts on the region of Central Asia, and the people that inhabit it! Thanks! Btw guys, I've decided that I'm really gonna be working to get to everyone's requests, so I'll be releasing a video once every 2 days, instead of once a week. Thanks for all the support guys!
Nice presentation, but I have a question. Isn't it true that the Turkic people (who were mixed but most likely originally Asian/Mongoloid predominantly) were already in the central Asian region even before Ghenghiz khan unified the Turks under his Mongol nation. If it is so then we can't say that the Central Asian gene changed because of Mongol invasion exclusively, they did contribute though. I may be wrong though.
You have a lack of knowledge about the ancident History of them like the mongolians was described as a turkic tribe in the 8. Century from the chinese Tang Dynasty, And all of them lived the altaic lifestyle which was the stronger one rules and they were allready mixed each other before the great mongolian conquest. Do you know how many times they fight each other like the huns fighted the scythians / Alans then the Avars take over the huns then the Avars lost against the ogurs / ungarians then the ogurs lost against the khazars then the khazars lost against the kipcak /kumans and then everybody lost against the mongolian Army, How do you think the mongolian Army could always keep going cause the turkic people accepted their Leadership because they do what every turcic khan would do. Also the blonde turkic people they are not mixed with russian no they were alredy blond over 2000 Years like they mentiond in the Legacy of oguz Khan who had a turkic blonde wife who probably lived 250 b.c.
I like the way how you share your knowledge of different ethnicitis with your audience, and am amazed by how you have got so much knowledge. I am from China. I have a Muslim friend in China who belongs to one "minority" ethnic group call "Sa La", their ancestors were from Uzbekistan, they speak a language(only spoken language without written form), which according to him is very close to the language of Uzbekistan, and similar to Uygur language. I am also interested in the Donggan people mentioned in your video who left in China in Qing Dynasty, who speak a Chinese northern dialect very close to Mandarin. And also, when I talked to a Korea , he told me that Korean is very close to Turkish language in structure and grammar of language. Isn't it amazing to be able to study how human migrated and evolved by the evolution of language, culture, religion, DNA,etc.
I am Hazara from central Afghanistan and yes we are Turkic people with the mixture of Mongols. If I am not wrong, Mongols and Turks are cousin like Arabs and Jews.
Yes,you are right,my friend.Both Mongols,and Turks are Altaic groups,just as both Arabs,and ethnic Jews are Semitic groups,friend.Merci beaucoup,mon Cher ami,and God bless you.
Ahmad Wazir Hahhaa who cares what you accept or not. The Hazaras are living in their homeland and Pigtoons should go to India from where they came with the support of Persian empire and British empire. You people are good in shoe polishing of kings, just like you are polishing the shoes of Americans.
Your channel is amazing, it shows how diverse and beautiful humans are. Specially in this episode , Central Asians look so foreign and new to me (im from Mexico) . Looking at this people feels like discovering new paintings from your favorite artist.
while you're focusing on the ending "Stan", I'll recommend you to consider countries(states) that end on "Land". For example, England, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Netherlands, Holland (within Netherlands), Switzerland, Finland, Poland, and Germany is actually Deutschland. So it's not only the people of Central Asia who have «poor imagination». And if you're using the term "Stans", go ahead and name european countries above as "Lands" in the first place.
Great video. I am a Crimean Turk ( Turkish Republic citizen) I have. black hair black very slanted eyes, pale skin and high cheekbones. People ask me a lot if I am asian . I was born with a birth mark on my back which disappeared when I turned 1 year old. A very wise Crimean doctor told that it is the "Mogul Tamga", a genetic mark that occurs around every 7 generations. My father had his Y-DNA haplo-group tested and it turns out that he belongs to the R1 group, a very ancient ( around 30-40 thousand year old) and large genetic group that started of in Altaic lands and stretched towards northern Blacksea.
@Nağme Candoğan/ Good girl, I believe you have Asian genes. Actually Crimean Turks are Crimean Tatars. Turkic is a group of people who speak Turkic, but not an ethnic. The word Turkic was given by ancient China to classify the people living in the banding area of Central Asia, Mongol, Siberia and Northeast China, who speak Turkic languages. The real ethnic are mainly Turk, Mongol and Tatar. Yet, many Turkic spoken Slavs and other ethnics also lived there for long. The original Tatar has his father's Y-DNA haplogroup marker N. Yet for those their father's marker are not N but they have East Asian look, it means that their mother's fathers or grand-grand....fathers may carried N marker. Or, their father's mother's fathers or grand, grand.....fathers carried N marker. If someone carry marker N, he or she is the descendant of an aboriginal of Northeast China or Siberia, the first group of people entering that area. The today Kazan and Crimean Tatars have genes 30% of R1 (Slav and Aryan), 25% of N (Tatar), 12% I (Balkan Slav), 10% J (Turk/Jew), 10% G (Middle Eastern), 6% E (Greece), 4% Q (Central Asian), 3% C (Mongol). People carrying N, C or Q, are East Asian Look. The Siberian Yakuts carry almost 100% in total of N+C+Q. You may check their appearance on RUclips.
Stalin deported about 400.000 Germans from Volga region in Russia to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in September 1941. Aslo Tatars from Crimea, Chechens and other people from Caucasus and Koreans were also deported to Kazakhstan and other neighboring republics. About 1000000 people were evacuated from European parts of USSR to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan during WWII. Aslo after WWII various large scale agricultural and industrial projects brought in a significant number of people from Russia, Ukraine.
Zhanna Ibrasheva yes very sad that no one talks about this so many people died like u mentioned tatars for example no one talks about it. how they killed the tatars u also could call it genozied because so many died
What is this about 'Zion' … Zion belongs to Israel … Semitic [descendants of Shem ] … not Eurasian as are the modern Turkish people or pure Asian as the Turkic people are .
Hey … 'Python' … the Turkic people were NOT Aryan no matter how much brainwashing they have allowed themselves to believe that they are /were . They were an Asian people . Armenians were originally of Aryan descent as were Persian /Iranians BUT NOT the Turkic hence modern Turkish peoples … the only Aryan the modern Turks have is from the many European people [Especially women ] that they assimilated in to their blood -lines … sorry guys but the TRUTH has to be told . I think Mr Ercan Kilic above is probably a Bosniak / Bosnian from Bosnia . Either a Slav or part Slav part Turk . But enough of my Trolling - you guys … I have something more URGENT to post here namely that soon there is going to be a mother of all battles in the Caucusus and the middle East between Turkey [and possibly other Turkic peoples ] together with Iran with other Middle -easterners against Israel . The armies of these people will be DESTROYED - according to the Book of Ezekiel . I call on the Turkic people , and ALL people around the World to REPENT , believe the Bible and turn to the soon coming King of kings and LORD of lords the LORD Jesus Christ to be saved [ John 3: 16 & 17 ] and NO I am NOT a Jehovah's Witness - I am an Evangelical Christian from Auckland , New Zealand of Greek and Armenian descent . But YES - Armageddon is not so far away looking at what is happening with Mr Erdogan and his ilk .
I did a tour of the Silk Road in 2004 and passed through the central Asian republics. Just prior, I had hosted a Kyrgyz exchange student. I found his stories of growing up attending an 'international school' with students of all central Asian ethnicities to be most interesting. He also related how it was flying through Istanbul, where he was surprised to be able to understand a fair amount of the local chat. Samarkand, Bukhara, and Issyk Kul were all stupendous. Crossing the Tian Shan in a former Soviet Red Army logistics vehicle was a huge kick, particularly visiting the Tash Rabat caravanasai. Your video has reinforced each and every thing I have learned along the way...Also, back then, I still has a red beard and I was something of an attraction for the locals to have their picture taken with me.....like I was some kind of lucky charm.
Wow, I was an exchange student in NC state in 2021-22 academic year. I am from Kyrgyzstan, and believe me, all central Asian Turkic people have the same experience flying through Istanbul Airport. When waiting for our next flight, we were welcomed by Anatolian Turks and talked about this topic.
He said how to pronounce it correctly in English, but that is indeed pretty dumb, it's better to pronounce how the people themselves pronounce it, just like with Iran, even if in English it's pronounced "ai ran" I'll still pronounce it Iran because that's how Iranians do it.
@@t111ran3probably you've got it correct-;we've heard so many mispronounced We, in the Western world, knew no better. Maybe I shall someday visit your.beautiful land, as your Prophet said Inshallah!😢
R1A Z93 *genetic studies conclude Azerbaijnis are mixed Turkic and Iranic* "AZRERBAIJANIS ARE IRANIC!!!!" Bitch please... they are Turks and genetically mixed. Period.
White Pakistani you can check this photo and many others to see Persians aren't dark skined....in Iran there are different people and different looking
Some extra facts: Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion used to refer itself as the “Heart of Asia.” Turkestan is the name of the Central and Northwestern portions of Afghanistan and was labeled as such by the British during the Great Game. A large contingent of Afghan soldiers from Abdur Rahman Khan’s army settled in Dushanbe in Tajikistan. It is known the Pashtuns are an amalgam of many Indo-Iranian, Indo Aryan, and even Turkic groups. The Ghilzai (2nd largest Afghan tribe) were known as the Khalaj were Turkified Iranian Huns. They converted to Islam under the reign of Alptegin and Sebuktegin (aka Mahmud of Ghazni). And the conqueror and founding father of Afghanistan’s royal house, Ahmad Shah Durrani, took a Qizilbashi Turkic wife who’s descendants became the later rulers.
What is the present condition of hazara people in Afghanistan... Same as before or improved?? Are hazara and baloch people have cultural similarities??
Thanks for sharing your knowledge about human races and ethnicities. Growing up in Mexico, race and ethnicity was of no consequence to me. However, after immigrating to the US as a teenager, I was strongly affected by racism and the tendencies of ethnic groups to form communities. This made me become interested in the origin of race, skin pigmentation, ethnic backgrounds, etc. This field is actually fascinating. As a typical mixed race mexican, I think I have an interesting ancestry; native american, european,and african mostly but a bit of middle eastern as well. My last name originated in Spain and used by sephardic jews who had to convert to catholicism and adopt a spanish name (They had to make up new names for they could not adopt typical spanish names)..
Turkic peoples did not "fill the gap" after the Mongol Invasion, they were already in Central Asia (Oghuz, Kipchak, Karluk etc.) when the Mongols invaded the region. They did not come from "Northeast Asia" after the Mongol Invasion. The most likely proto-Turkic urheimat is the region near the Altai mountains. Your videos are cringe material.
Explains why many Turkic people didn’t mind being under the rule of the mongols because they are basically the same belief in tengerism and nomadic people’s
I'm a hazara from Afghanistan but before I be a hazara I'm a turk-mongol unfortunately we lost our language which was a turkic language and now speaking in Farsi. We are decents of Gengiz khan the conquerer and amir timur the conquerer and I'm proud of that
The Uzbek is made up of several genetic groups: Total 40% European genes - Slav, Aryan Total 37% Central-East Asian genes - Mongol, North Han, Tatar Total 23% Middle Eastern genes - Turk, Arab
Looking at all those pictures of the different peoples in those regions is a beautiful range of human features. I love seeing the diversity and rich history these people have tried to preserve.
Really liked this video, ever considered looking into the Khas People of Nepal? They also originated in Central Asia. I am one of them. Our DNA shows almost 75% Central asian ancestry and 25% Mongolian. :-)
Thank you for your videos! My mind has been blown away at the amount of genetic and ethnic diversity of the region! It's only a small taste , there's so much more to explore ....
Thanks for making this video! It's hard to learn about my people's history, living in America. But as someone who is from Uzbekistan, (but ethnically Persian, not Uzbek) I can tell you that the majority of people from Uzbekistan do still understand Persian or Farsi, at least those I've come across, so the 30% is a very likely number, if not higher.
Excellent video. I have been fascinated by Asian Russia and Central Asia for along time. I find the Turkic People of Central Asia to be some of the most interesting because of the their nomadic nature and history. The area stands out due to the diversity, intelligence, architecture, geography, mythos, the Silk Road etc...Even today it still seems to be a place in isolation, yet has very deep and cultural roots that spread across the region. One of the most interesting areas of the world imo.
PerDirPir well, i have a few uyghur friends, there are thousands of uygurs live in my country, i also been to Urumqi city, and i know for 200% that "weeger" is not how you pronounce it. I know that ethnicity called "wei'er zu" in mandarin, and han chinese often cannot pronounce anything from our languages, so pronounciation lesson from chinese is not very reliable.
This man is blond and has green eyes? ruclips.net/video/v3mH6_EM6A4/видео.html Most Uighurs have the appearance of Arabs, minorities have a white appearance.
Also, as far as I know Mongolia is sometimes grouped in with the Central Asian countries for cultural and historical reasons, despite traditionally being considered an East Asian country.
Well lady, Im sorry to inform you that your personal opinion is hopelessly irrelevant infront of facts, that's something you can't argue with. And no, you are not different. Abandon your ego, it's the only way to find inner peace, LOL.
Thanks for the video! I found out that I had 12% Asian Central DNA on my ethnicity estimate which was quite mind blowing after taking a Ancestry DNA test so it’s definitely interesting to learn more about some of my ancestors along with the history and culture of this unique region! 👍
This youtuber is talking nothing but shit.. He is just expressing his opinion without science and historians sources..turkic arrived in central asia in fucking 600AD during gokturk khaganate.. Mongols came in 1200ss..thats more than half thousnd year. He is just bullshiting...
hi masaman! it's a very good intro attempt in grading the central Asian groups. You have omitted a few groups and I think with nomadic and semi-nomadic people's in general, especially as diversely-complex group of Central-Asian Turkic peoples, the history of migration would provide a better structure. For expample, the statement of Mongol admixture in Turkic nations is a true statement. Yet the statement of Mongols being the originators of East Asian phenotype in turkic-speaking peoples is misleading: the Mongoloid phenotype has been discovered even in Scythian/Sakae burials, with an increasing prevalence throughput the ages way before the 13th century and Gengisid conquests. I think if you look out for those small points, the channel's followers will have less misconceptions about your approach to anthropological and geo-social presentations. Otherwise it is very informative, thank you for putting in the time and effort for all your vids!
You deserve more followers...I think you are very good in discovering and highlighting our diversity, and also showing that we are all one...at the end of the day...
Thank you for this video... I recently did any ancestry DNA on myself, and I have a small trace of Central Asia dna... I never knew anything about ( the Stan’s) until now... thank you 😊
I usually hate it when people say nothing except where they are from,, its so tacky but you I gotta admit have a good reason for sharing it,, its quite the mix!!
ercan kilic nope Turk is a much older and broader term that was used historically to describe these people and their ancestors. But ever since the formation of modern day turkey there had been a confusion. To avoid this confusion we should use the term Turkish exclusively for people of Turkey. And Turks and Turkic people for the whole group(uzbeks, kyrghyz etc) in which turkish people would be a part of.
Even before then Asiatic people’s had been migrating all across the Eurasian steppe. The Huns, The Hepthalites, the Avars all settle in Central Asia and the Caucasus before moving on to Europe
You're videos are great bro.. You should do more on East Africa, specifically on the Luo people, and other nilotic groups. I belong to the "Acholi tribe" It's very interesting how many tribes there are in this area of Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan. Keep up the good work man. You have the best videos on RUclips in my opinion.

STAN is a Persia word and it means a province or place. Tajikistan for example means a place of ethnic Tajiks and Iranian has the same meaning as Aryan
Tajiks which were persianized are originally Turkic people. Today there is no persian race becuae todays ıranian people are highly mixed up with arabs. They have a little bit persian genes. They have mostly arabs. Look at them and arabs, there is no difference between them.
@@enjoymfs9715 what? Tajiks aren’t Turks. Also, before you start stating that Persians aren’t really Persians, you may want to look at how Turkic some Turkic people are. Most scientific journals have their admixture at a very low percentage.
I love your channel, just want to say that. I tried searching for basically exactly what your videos are years ago, but they didn't exist yet. Thank you. Keep it up.
It's nice to know the origen of people, their nations, culture no matter how small a group is. That way we learn to respect other people's way. Thank you. Keep the good work.
I remember being in grade 6 and asking what was up with the Stans, meaning what does that mean. My teacher got mad at me for being racist somehow. Never forgot that Ive always been into geography and it was a legit question. Damn you Mr. Thacker
Not all "Stans" are Central Asia though Hindustan(land of Hindus, which included whole of Indian subcontinent including Pakistan) is technically South Asia, but still a "stan"
One major correction. Mongolian conquest in Central Asia happened in 1200s. And clearly documented. But region was Turkic long before. Pretty much since establishment of Turkic Khaganate in 6th century AD (~ year 550 AD)
ercan kilic Well. You don’t need a printed book to call things documented. Turkic khanate was established 6 century AD. That’s a common knowledge documented in Chinese, Persian and Roman/Byzantine manuscripts.
The Stans have peeked my interest as well! All human migrations and DNA interest me but central Asia has always made my curiosity skyrocket. I can't get enough. Great video!! Excellent. I want to hear what the heck background you come from so I can figure if you have a bias. Doesn't seem like it so far. I've watch a lot of your videos. This is my first comment. Keep um coming please. I hope you are extraordinarily successful at this. We need more people like you.
Really glad i discovered your channel, love how you speak and analize the theme, great you choose Central Asia, fascinating region, just when i think it was populated by Indo-European speakers in Ancient Times, fascinating.
Before Turkic and Mongolian peoples moved in from the East, Central Asia was populated by Proto-Indo-Europeans, who were the ancestors of all modern Europeans
Emperor Gaming but Tajiks are not "turanid". Tajiks are the only people in central with almost no Mongol dna. By the way turan is a myth from avesta book lol
Thank you for this video. I have always been interested in the history & people of Central Asia. My plan to do the Silk Road tour from China to Central Asia has been disrupted by Covid-19. If the Covid situation improves in China, this year, I will do the tour. We were out on this planet to live in peace & love each other, help each other etc. All the best & God bless you. Continue your good work. From Australia 🇦🇺
Hey Masaman! Have you ever read “The Races of Mankind, Their Origins and Migrations” by Calvin Kephart, written in 1960? I found it a fascinating read. It’s starting premise is that the 3 races (he describes as Indafricans, Turanians and Aryans, both brown and white) split off from their primordial common ancestor in Southeast Asia in areas bordering the Bay of Bengal. Kephart makes the case that white Aryans evolved in primitive times in the mountains of western Tibet. These people eventually migrated to the areas in Central Asia and then to Europe. He also describes the origins of the Sumerians and their Turanian origins. Further he talks about the Indafricans and how they came to inhabit Africa, Southern Asia and as far as Australia and the Pacific Islands. The book is very detailed and has to be read over and over (at least for me). I am not an expert in this field but having read this book it has opened my eyes to much of what we see today in the world. Hope to hear your thoughts about this book.
Ancient Turkic people were no doubt Mongoloid. Any Caucasian DNA in Turkic were all Iranic type people, Indo-European. Turkish people themselves have different Caucasoid autosomal type DNA, different than most Turkic people. Only thing similar is they all have East Asian/Siberian. East Eurasian DNA which reaches 5-25% in Turks, 5-29% in Azeris, 22-58% in Turkmen, 40-60% in Uzbeks, Uyghurs, and 60-80% in Kazakh, Kyrgyz. Tuvan, 85-95% Yakuts 90-100%
Numbers are not true and Turks were not just mongoloid. If you look at the Hun and Gokturk they were %20-50 mongoloid. They also were heterogeneous like us.
@@marcusaurelius3200 Türklerin yüzdeyüz mongoloid bir halk olduğunu düşünmeleri cahillikten kaynaklanıyor . Her çekik gözlüyü yüzdeyüz mongoloid sandıkları için .%15-16 Mongoloid olupta çekik gözlü olan çok kişi var özellikle Batı ve Güney Türkiyede . Hun ve Göktürkler kabaca %30-35 mongoloidti en az bir o kadar Avrupa ve Kafkasya genleri taşıyorlar . Doğuda yüzde100 Mongoloid olan batıdaki yüzde10 Mongoloid olandan daha mı Türk oluyor bu durumda . Tabi ki hayır.
I find all of this completely fascinating and I learn so much from your vids! I never completely understood the genetic makeup of what I call the 'forgotten countries'. And I know that there are claims that some of the recent genetic test on Native Americans points to Indo-European ancestry. That would make sense with all of the mixing that went on along the route through Central Asia and Mongol territory before reaching the USA. Possible genetics of Native Americans would be interesting to me because I have Tuscarora and Cherokee in my background... Would love it if you could tackle that. Keep up the great work!
KuroiHato69 hi, there are many similar words in turkic and american native languages wich prooves they have common ancestors. some researchers from Turkey studied this and wrote very interesting articles. Also, the wolf was a totem animal in both cultures, etc.
Thank you! Very cool to know! I will look for those articles. Unfortunately I am not fluent in Japanese (raised in the USA) but I am fascinated by Asian culture due to a lot of it in my ancestry. So I have always been interested in the link between sentence structure and language similarities of Turkish, Japanese and Native American. There is a lot of debate as to whether they are related... Some say yes and some say no... But the similarities in the languages cannot be ignored. IMO it is the same way that we would look at Olde English compared to Modern English. Languages change over time. The original Turkic languages and Native American languages would be no different especially with thousands of years of separation. (^_^)
Türkiye'den Kırgız baurlara kop kop selam bolysn. Biz sizdi öte jaksy köremiz. Biz bir atanın balaları... Kırgızlar Türkmenler Kazaklar Tatarlar Uzbekler Uygurlar Azerbaycan'da yashayan Türkler. Biz tarihteki Türk Kağanlığının alıs ellere, jurtlara dağılmış balaları.
This is a true story. A coworker and I fought 7 Uzbeks outside the hookah bar we worked at. My coworker fought well and is over 6 ft so stood a better chance. I'm 5'9" 155 pounds and a cav scout veteran. The fight lasted about 2 or 3 minutes and ended with me getting punched in the eye and knocked out. I've never seen right since in that eye. After learning about the badass history of the Turks and watching Ertugrul on Netflix I feel more proud than anything having put up a moderately good fight against such a tough group of people
From the adriatic sea till the chinese wall , you can communicate in Turkish. I m from Turkey . Even tough there are many different dialects, we can understand eachother perfectly. Even in non turkish countries like Iran or Afghanistan , there are around 50 million turks. big countries like China , Russia or even the usa like to separate us by using different names because they are afraid for a big turkish unification. That is a scary thought for many countries. A united warrior nation with a population roughly 250 million population is a nightmare for Russia and China. We are all descendants of the Gokturks.
In persian we have even more stans. All STAN countries + .... England=Englestan Saudi arabia = Arabestan saudi Armenia= Armanstan Georgia = Gorgestan Bolguria = Bolgurestan India = Hindustan Hungary= Majarestan N .......
nice video and astonishingly correct facts! you know a lot about CA for an american;) we uzbeks are so diverse, so people get confused when they see one blue eyed blondie to an asian looking parents and vise versa. Even though true local scythians, saks-massagets and other indo-europeans melted in hordes of asian occupants, genes pop-up in typical asian families :D Btw, having descent enclave of uyghurs, i can assure you that it's pronounced like [u:igurz] in their native and uzbek languages. Greetings from Uzbekistan
Joseph 33 they are not half Asians. They are half middle eastern (Arabs) and half Mongols. Why the dominant haplogroup of Uzbeks is J2 which is middle eastern?? Tajiks have 65 percent R haplogroup.
Hi Masaman. I've been fascinated by Central Asian History for a long time myself. I feel that I need to make a correction here. IE cultures did not disappear from central Asia after Mongol invasion. Transformation happened much earlier during 500s when Gog-Turks replaced the IE speaking peoples . Since then, at least linguistically speaking, these steppes have been Turkic.
Good job on the video could you please post some sources in the description for this and future videos? I mean you should have a list of them when researching the stuff you talk about anyways and it would make your videos even more solid like The Great War channel with its soruces.
A great video. Just one correction. The majority of the ethnic Koreans who Stalin deported to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan had been from the Soviet Far east near Vladivostok, not from the Sakhalin Island.
The early Turkic people (proto Turks) originated in northern China and Manchuria. They are linked to the Xinglongwa culture and after the decline they adopted a nomadic lifestyle and started their migration to the west. The proto Turks are Mongoloid and closely related to other Northeast Asians, such as Koreans, Chinese, Mongolians and Tungusic tribes.
For the people that wonder what's the meaning of "-Stan" at the end of each of this country., it means "land of-"..So Afghanistan actually meant land of the afghan, Uzbekistan mean land of the uzbek so on and so forth
Hohoho. Finally, someone digging on my favorite and also my obsession. The central asia. Though in my history classes it includes siberia, armenia,georgia and turkey. But my central obsession is on -stans! :)

Let me know your thoughts on the region of Central Asia, and the people that inhabit it! Thanks! Btw guys, I've decided that I'm really gonna be working to get to everyone's requests, so I'll be releasing a video once every 2 days, instead of once a week. Thanks for all the support guys!
do a video about kekistani people
Nice presentation, but I have a question. Isn't it true that the Turkic people (who were mixed but most likely originally Asian/Mongoloid predominantly) were already in the central Asian region even before Ghenghiz khan unified the Turks under his Mongol nation. If it is so then we can't say that the Central Asian gene changed because of Mongol invasion exclusively, they did contribute though. I may be wrong though.
You have a lack of knowledge about the ancident History of them like the mongolians was described as a turkic tribe in the 8. Century from the chinese Tang Dynasty, And all of them lived the altaic lifestyle which was the stronger one rules and they were allready mixed each other before the great mongolian conquest. Do you know how many times they fight each other like the huns fighted the scythians / Alans then the Avars take over the huns then the Avars lost against the ogurs / ungarians then the ogurs lost against the khazars then the khazars lost against the kipcak /kumans and then everybody lost against the mongolian Army, How do you think the mongolian Army could always keep going cause the turkic people accepted their Leadership because they do what every turcic khan would do. Also the blonde turkic people they are not mixed with russian no they were alredy blond over 2000 Years like they mentiond in the Legacy of oguz Khan who had a turkic blonde wife who probably lived
250 b.c.
I like the way how you share your knowledge of different ethnicitis with your audience, and am amazed by how you have got so much knowledge. I am from China. I have a Muslim friend in China who belongs to one "minority" ethnic group call "Sa La", their ancestors were from Uzbekistan, they speak a language(only spoken language without written form), which according to him is very close to the language of Uzbekistan, and similar to Uygur language. I am also interested in the Donggan people mentioned in your video who left in China in Qing Dynasty, who speak a Chinese northern dialect very close to Mandarin. And also, when I talked to a Korea , he told me that Korean is very close to Turkish language in structure and grammar of language. Isn't it amazing to be able to study how human migrated and evolved by the evolution of language, culture, religion, DNA,etc.
By the way, from my memory the "Donggan" people my not be from the Han Chinese descent. They are probably Hui Chinese descent.
I am Hazara from central Afghanistan and yes we are Turkic people with the mixture of Mongols. If I am not wrong, Mongols and Turks are cousin like Arabs and Jews.
Yes,you are right,my friend.Both Mongols,and Turks are Altaic groups,just as both Arabs,and ethnic Jews are Semitic groups,friend.Merci beaucoup,mon Cher ami,and God bless you.
Ghengiz Khan created the name "Mongol" for his state. He originally of Turkic origins as were his people.
Zhanna Ibrasheva What do you know about Atilla the Hun? Was he also a Turk?
Ahmad Wazir Hahhaa who cares what you accept or not. The Hazaras are living in their homeland and Pigtoons should go to India from where they came with the support of Persian empire and British empire. You people are good in shoe polishing of kings, just like you are polishing the shoes of Americans.
Slayedjudas666 What do you mean by Asian?
Your channel is amazing, it shows how diverse and beautiful humans are. Specially in this episode , Central Asians look so foreign and new to me (im from Mexico) . Looking at this people feels like discovering new paintings from your favorite artist.

while you're focusing on the ending "Stan", I'll recommend you to consider countries(states) that end on "Land". For example, England, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Netherlands, Holland (within Netherlands), Switzerland, Finland, Poland, and Germany is actually Deutschland.
So it's not only the people of Central Asia who have «poor imagination». And if you're using the term "Stans", go ahead and name european countries above as "Lands" in the first place.
Chill mate. "Stan" actually means "land".

Great video. I am a Crimean Turk ( Turkish Republic citizen) I have. black hair black very slanted eyes, pale skin and high cheekbones. People ask me a lot if I am asian . I was born with a birth mark on my back which disappeared when I turned 1 year old. A very wise Crimean doctor told that it is the "Mogul Tamga", a genetic mark that occurs around every 7 generations. My father had his Y-DNA haplo-group tested and it turns out that he belongs to the R1 group, a very ancient ( around 30-40 thousand year old) and large genetic group that started of in Altaic lands and stretched towards northern Blacksea.
Nağme Candoğan Take an DNA test and you Will know who you are!. 😊
ercan kilic So moron you are 😀😂😂. A pathetic wannabe of the white neo-Nazis 😀😀🤣🤣
Youre a crimean Turkic tatar not Turkish. Its Like saying Brits are Germans just because they Are Germanic
si si = yes yes
@Nağme Candoğan/ Good girl, I believe you have Asian genes. Actually Crimean Turks are Crimean Tatars. Turkic is a group of people who speak Turkic, but not an ethnic. The word Turkic was given by ancient China to classify the people living in the banding area of Central Asia, Mongol, Siberia and Northeast China, who speak Turkic languages. The real ethnic are mainly Turk, Mongol and Tatar. Yet, many Turkic spoken Slavs and other ethnics also lived there for long.
The original Tatar has his father's Y-DNA haplogroup marker N. Yet for those their father's marker are not N but they have East Asian look, it means that their mother's fathers or grand-grand....fathers may carried N marker. Or, their father's mother's fathers or grand, grand.....fathers carried N marker.
If someone carry marker N, he or she is the descendant of an aboriginal of Northeast China or Siberia, the first group of people entering that area.
The today Kazan and Crimean Tatars have genes 30% of R1 (Slav and Aryan), 25% of N (Tatar), 12% I (Balkan Slav), 10% J (Turk/Jew), 10% G (Middle Eastern), 6% E (Greece), 4% Q (Central Asian), 3% C (Mongol).
People carrying N, C or Q, are East Asian Look. The Siberian Yakuts carry almost 100% in total of N+C+Q. You may check their appearance on RUclips.
Stalin deported about 400.000 Germans from Volga region in Russia to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in September 1941. Aslo Tatars from Crimea, Chechens and other people from Caucasus and Koreans were also deported to Kazakhstan and other neighboring republics. About 1000000 people were evacuated from European parts of USSR to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan during WWII.
Aslo after WWII various large scale agricultural and industrial projects brought in a significant number of people from Russia, Ukraine.
why are you now writing this?

What is this about 'Zion' … Zion belongs to Israel … Semitic [descendants of Shem ] … not Eurasian as are the modern Turkish people or pure Asian as the Turkic people are .
Hey … 'Python' … the Turkic people were NOT Aryan no matter how much brainwashing they have allowed themselves to believe that they are /were . They were an Asian people . Armenians were originally of Aryan descent as were Persian /Iranians BUT NOT the Turkic hence modern Turkish peoples … the only Aryan the modern Turks have is from the many European people [Especially women ] that they assimilated in to their blood -lines … sorry guys but the TRUTH has to be told .
I think Mr Ercan Kilic above is probably a Bosniak / Bosnian from Bosnia . Either a Slav or part Slav part Turk .
But enough of my Trolling - you guys … I have something more URGENT to post here namely that soon there is going to be a mother of all battles in the Caucusus and the middle East between Turkey [and possibly other Turkic peoples ] together with Iran with other Middle -easterners against Israel . The armies of these people will be DESTROYED - according to the Book of Ezekiel . I call on the Turkic people , and ALL people around the World to REPENT , believe the Bible and turn to the soon coming King of kings and LORD of lords the LORD Jesus Christ to be saved [ John 3: 16 & 17 ] and NO I am NOT a Jehovah's Witness - I am an Evangelical Christian from Auckland , New Zealand of Greek and Armenian descent .

I did a tour of the Silk Road in 2004 and passed through the central Asian republics. Just prior, I had hosted a Kyrgyz exchange student. I found his stories of growing up attending an 'international school' with students of all central Asian ethnicities to be most interesting. He also related how it was flying through Istanbul, where he was surprised to be able to understand a fair amount of the local chat. Samarkand, Bukhara, and Issyk Kul were all stupendous. Crossing the Tian Shan in a former Soviet Red Army logistics vehicle was a huge kick, particularly visiting the Tash Rabat caravanasai. Your video has reinforced each and every thing I have learned along the way...Also, back then, I still has a red beard and I was something of an attraction for the locals to have their picture taken with me.....like I was some kind of lucky charm.
Wow, I was an exchange student in NC state in 2021-22 academic year. I am from Kyrgyzstan, and believe me, all central Asian Turkic people have the same experience flying through Istanbul Airport. When waiting for our next flight, we were welcomed by Anatolian Turks and talked about this topic.

He said how to pronounce it correctly in English, but that is indeed pretty dumb, it's better to pronounce how the people themselves pronounce it, just like with Iran, even if in English it's pronounced "ai ran" I'll still pronounce it Iran because that's how Iranians do it.

Some extra facts: Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion used to refer itself as the “Heart of Asia.” Turkestan is the name of the Central and Northwestern portions of Afghanistan and was labeled as such by the British during the Great Game. A large contingent of Afghan soldiers from Abdur Rahman Khan’s army settled in Dushanbe in Tajikistan. It is known the Pashtuns are an amalgam of many Indo-Iranian, Indo Aryan, and even Turkic groups. The Ghilzai (2nd largest Afghan tribe) were known as the Khalaj were Turkified Iranian Huns. They converted to Islam under the reign of Alptegin and Sebuktegin (aka Mahmud of Ghazni). And the conqueror and founding father of Afghanistan’s royal house, Ahmad Shah Durrani, took a Qizilbashi Turkic wife who’s descendants became the later rulers.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about human races and ethnicities. Growing up in Mexico, race and ethnicity was of no consequence to me. However, after immigrating to the US as a teenager, I was strongly affected by racism and the tendencies of ethnic groups to form communities. This made me become interested in the origin of race, skin pigmentation, ethnic backgrounds, etc. This field is actually fascinating. As a typical mixed race mexican, I think I have an interesting ancestry; native american, european,and african mostly but a bit of middle eastern as well. My last name originated in Spain and used by sephardic jews who had to convert to catholicism and adopt a spanish name (They had to make up new names for they could not adopt typical spanish names)..
Great analysis👍🏻 I’m Kazakh. There we have lack of research on our ethnical background, so it was really interesting to watch
Turkic peoples did not "fill the gap" after the Mongol Invasion, they were already in Central Asia (Oghuz, Kipchak, Karluk etc.) when the Mongols invaded the region. They did not come from "Northeast Asia" after the Mongol Invasion. The most likely proto-Turkic urheimat is the region near the Altai mountains. Your videos are cringe material.
Random you mean 5th century. Cause the first gokturk khaganate
We were already in there that' right.
Explains why many Turkic people didn’t mind being under the rule of the mongols because they are basically the same belief in tengerism and nomadic people’s

Excellent video. I have been fascinated by Asian Russia and Central Asia for along time. I find the Turkic People of Central Asia to be some of the most interesting because of the their nomadic nature and history. The area stands out due to the diversity, intelligence, architecture, geography, mythos, the Silk Road etc...Even today it still seems to be a place in isolation, yet has very deep and cultural roots that spread across the region. One of the most interesting areas of the world imo.

We Central Asians not only Mongoloid 🙄
This youtuber is talking nothing but shit.. He is just expressing his opinion without science and historians sources..turkic arrived in central asia in fucking 600AD during gokturk khaganate.. Mongols came in 1200ss..thats more than half thousnd year. He is just bullshiting...
hi masaman! it's a very good intro attempt in grading the central Asian groups. You have omitted a few groups and I think with nomadic and semi-nomadic people's in general, especially as diversely-complex group of Central-Asian Turkic peoples, the history of migration would provide a better structure. For expample, the statement of Mongol admixture in Turkic nations is a true statement. Yet the statement of Mongols being the originators of East Asian phenotype in turkic-speaking peoples is misleading: the Mongoloid phenotype has been discovered even in Scythian/Sakae burials, with an increasing prevalence throughput the ages way before the 13th century and Gengisid conquests. I think if you look out for those small points, the channel's followers will have less misconceptions about your approach to anthropological and geo-social presentations. Otherwise it is very informative, thank you for putting in the time and effort for all your vids!

ercan kilic nope Turk is a much older and broader term that was used historically to describe these people and their ancestors. But ever since the formation of modern day turkey there had been a confusion. To avoid this confusion we should use the term Turkish exclusively for people of Turkey. And Turks and Turkic people for the whole group(uzbeks, kyrghyz etc) in which turkish people would be a part of.
Yes we are Turkic
Central Asia went from Indo-European to Turkic in the migrations that started in the 6th century, about 500 years before the Mongol conquests..

Even before then Asiatic people’s had been migrating all across the Eurasian steppe. The Huns, The Hepthalites, the Avars all settle in Central Asia and the Caucasus before moving on to Europe

One major correction.
Mongolian conquest in Central Asia happened in 1200s. And clearly documented.
But region was Turkic long before.
Pretty much since establishment of Turkic Khaganate in 6th century AD (~ year 550 AD)
ercan kilic
Well. You don’t need a printed book to call things documented.
Turkic khanate was established 6 century AD. That’s a common knowledge documented in Chinese, Persian and Roman/Byzantine manuscripts.
Precisely, the Turks lived in central Asia long before the invasion of the Mongols
The Stans have peeked my interest as well! All human migrations and DNA interest me but central Asia has always made my curiosity skyrocket. I can't get enough. Great video!! Excellent. I want to hear what the heck background you come from so I can figure if you have a bias. Doesn't seem like it so far. I've watch a lot of your videos. This is my first comment. Keep um coming please. I hope you are extraordinarily successful at this. We need more people like you.
Really glad i discovered your channel, love how you speak and analize the theme, great you choose Central Asia, fascinating region, just when i think it was populated by Indo-European speakers in Ancient Times, fascinating.
Before Turkic and Mongolian peoples moved in from the East, Central Asia was populated by Proto-Indo-Europeans, who were the ancestors of all modern Europeans
Survive the Jive they are still alive. Tajiks survived otherwise Central Asia would be completely mongolic
central asia is birthplace of both europeans and easteasians. so they didn't necessarely moved in from the east.
joseph kony no it's not lol
Emperor Gaming but Tajiks are not "turanid". Tajiks are the only people in central with almost no Mongol dna. By the way turan is a myth from avesta book lol
Emperor Gaming kyrgiz, uyghur are still mongoloid despite the fact that they had Caucasian dna while Tajiks are still caucasian.

Your channel is so informative
The video flashed a picture of a man at 8:20
Hey Masaman! Have you ever read “The Races of Mankind, Their Origins and Migrations” by Calvin Kephart, written in 1960? I found it a fascinating read. It’s starting premise is that the 3 races (he describes as Indafricans, Turanians and Aryans, both brown and white) split off from their primordial common ancestor in Southeast Asia in areas bordering the Bay of Bengal. Kephart makes the case that white Aryans evolved in primitive times in the mountains of western Tibet. These people eventually migrated to the areas in Central Asia and then to Europe. He also describes the origins of the Sumerians and their Turanian origins. Further he talks about the Indafricans and how they came to inhabit Africa, Southern Asia and as far as Australia and the Pacific Islands. The book is very detailed and has to be read over and over (at least for me). I am not an expert in this field but having read this book it has opened my eyes to much of what we see today in the world. Hope to hear your thoughts about this book.
Turkic cultures are so fascinating. A blend of rustic pastoralism and sophisticated silk road heritage.

Ancient Turkic people were no doubt Mongoloid. Any Caucasian DNA in Turkic were all Iranic type people, Indo-European. Turkish people themselves have different Caucasoid autosomal type DNA, different than most Turkic people. Only thing similar is they all have East Asian/Siberian. East Eurasian DNA which reaches 5-25% in Turks, 5-29% in Azeris, 22-58% in Turkmen, 40-60% in Uzbeks, Uyghurs, and 60-80% in Kazakh, Kyrgyz. Tuvan, 85-95% Yakuts 90-100%

I find all of this completely fascinating and I learn so much from your vids! I never completely understood the genetic makeup of what I call the 'forgotten countries'. And I know that there are claims that some of the recent genetic test on Native Americans points to Indo-European ancestry. That would make sense with all of the mixing that went on along the route through Central Asia and Mongol territory before reaching the USA.
Possible genetics of Native Americans would be interesting to me because I have Tuscarora and Cherokee in my background... Would love it if you could tackle that. Keep up the great work!
KuroiHato69 hi, there are many similar words in turkic and american native languages wich prooves they have common ancestors. some researchers from Turkey studied this and wrote very interesting articles. Also, the wolf was a totem animal in both cultures, etc.
Thank you! Very cool to know! I will look for those articles. Unfortunately I am not fluent in Japanese (raised in the USA) but I am fascinated by Asian culture due to a lot of it in my ancestry. So I have always been interested in the link between sentence structure and language similarities of Turkish, Japanese and Native American. There is a lot of debate as to whether they are related... Some say yes and some say no... But the similarities in the languages cannot be ignored.
IMO it is the same way that we would look at Olde English compared to Modern English. Languages change over time. The original Turkic languages and Native American languages would be no different especially with thousands of years of separation. (^_^)

Technically Xinjiang isn't a province. It's officially known as "Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region."
A province
it should be independent country
@@mustafauyghur162 I agree.
@@mustafauyghur162 I think you guys should be called Uyghurstan if you guys become independent.

This is a true story. A coworker and I fought 7 Uzbeks outside the hookah bar we worked at. My coworker fought well and is over 6 ft so stood a better chance. I'm 5'9" 155 pounds and a cav scout veteran. The fight lasted about 2 or 3 minutes and ended with me getting punched in the eye and knocked out. I've never seen right since in that eye. After learning about the badass history of the Turks and watching Ertugrul on Netflix I feel more proud than anything having put up a moderately good fight against such a tough group of people
Could you do one about Finno-Ugric people? Thanks! Great videos!
They were (Central Asian) my first Geography Genetic populations I loved too! Mainly Because I have Turkmen and Middle Eastern in me, a lot of it.
Great video! Thanks for your words of knowledge :)

From the adriatic sea till the chinese wall , you can communicate in Turkish. I m from Turkey . Even tough there are many different dialects, we can understand eachother perfectly. Even in non turkish countries like Iran or Afghanistan , there are around 50 million turks. big countries like China , Russia or even the usa like to separate us by using different names because they are afraid for a big turkish unification. That is a scary thought for many countries.
A united warrior nation with a population roughly 250 million population is a nightmare for Russia and China. We are all descendants of the Gokturks.
Great video. Thanks for all the hard work. On my side, I wish I could find one day on your channel a story of ancient Indo European people of China.
In persian we have even more stans.
All STAN countries + ....
England=Englestan
Saudi arabia = Arabestan saudi
Armenia= Armanstan
Georgia = Gorgestan
Bolguria = Bolgurestan
India = Hindustan
Hungary= Majarestan

So many people in comments obsessed with racial superiority/inferiority
nice video and astonishingly correct facts! you know a lot about CA for an american;) we uzbeks are so diverse, so people get confused when they see one blue eyed blondie to an asian looking parents and vise versa. Even though true local scythians, saks-massagets and other indo-europeans melted in hordes of asian occupants, genes pop-up in typical asian families :D
Btw, having descent enclave of uyghurs, i can assure you that it's pronounced like [u:igurz] in their native and uzbek languages.
Greetings from Uzbekistan
tamim fuck you..
uzbeks are beautiful they're Eurasian people it means half asian half European
Joseph 33 they are not half Asians. They are half middle eastern (Arabs) and half Mongols. Why the dominant haplogroup of Uzbeks is J2 which is middle eastern?? Tajiks have 65 percent R haplogroup.
"And Iranistan- I mean,, Iran."
"What's up with the GAP-?"
I see you Mason😂
Hi Masaman. I've been fascinated by Central Asian History for a long time myself. I feel that I need to make a correction here. IE cultures did not disappear from central Asia after Mongol invasion. Transformation happened much earlier during 500s when Gog-Turks replaced the IE speaking peoples . Since then, at least linguistically speaking, these steppes have been Turkic.
Good job on the video could you please post some sources in the description for this and future videos? I mean you should have a list of them when researching the stuff you talk about anyways and it would make your videos even more solid like The Great War channel with its soruces.
We in Pakistan call the Xianjiang / East Turkistan region as Uyghuristan.
Who cares even your so called chinebhai don't even care what you call them and they regularly fck them with new rules everyday
@Naofumi Iwatani Hindu spotted
A great video. Just one correction. The majority of the ethnic Koreans who Stalin deported to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan had been from the Soviet Far east near Vladivostok, not from the Sakhalin Island.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was very informative.I was a little disappointed that you did not really discuss the Tuvans.
When you tell American people where you’re from and they say “what? Pakistan?” 😑
🇺🇿 People think I look Hispanic
Lmao my grandma came to visit us in America and she thought all the Mexicans were Uzbeks lol
The early Turkic people (proto Turks) originated in northern China and Manchuria. They are linked to the Xinglongwa culture and after the decline they adopted a nomadic lifestyle and started their migration to the west. The proto Turks are Mongoloid and closely related to other Northeast Asians, such as Koreans, Chinese, Mongolians and Tungusic tribes.
Turkic is Altaic also. Just like Tungusic, Japanese, Mongolian's and Koreans
For the people that wonder what's the meaning of "-Stan" at the end of each of this country., it means "land of-"..So Afghanistan actually meant land of the afghan, Uzbekistan mean land of the uzbek so on and so forth
Hohoho. Finally, someone digging on my favorite and also my obsession. The central asia. Though in my history classes it includes siberia, armenia,georgia and turkey. But my central obsession is on -stans! :)
How is the Caucasus Central Asian? In my opinion the Caucasus is a region by itself
excellent video. you do your research very well. you are obviously a highly educated and learned man.
its goof to know about Central Asia now plz do on South Asia .
vaskar A I've made a couple on South Asia, including one on Andaman and Nicobar! I'll revisit the topic in the near future.
Masaman, thank you very much for your videos. Can you make one video exclusively on Hazaras please?
I really like this video. I've always wondered about this part of the world
I took a DNA test and found out that I was 10 percent from Cenral Asia! I had no idea where that was, or what it was! lol
