The map saying Turkey & caucasus can not mean %100 Turkish because it is soo mixed, Turks are not native to that place from the start (lets not forget many ancient civilizations, like they didn't dissappear into thin air suddenly??) a %100 turkish would mean central asian if we look at the history & migration My family has stories about being persian, greek, turkmen & balkans. I am curious what my results would look like
Wrong, ancient Anatolians were the natives that partially mixed with the invading populations like the Bizantines, Arabs and Turkic people of central asia.
@@5Gazto Greeks were the ancient Anatolia farmers. West Asia Greek colonies start in 1200 BC, then Roman Empire till 476 AD and then Greek Byzantine Empire
What is today Turkey, as we know, was the three-thousand-year-old Greek Asia Minor with Ionia, Pontus and Constantinople. Thousands of cities founded by the ancient Greeks from the 8th century BC. with a Greek population, when the Turks were still in the Altai mountains. And don't be disoriented at all by the appearance of Italy, because all of Southern Italy and Sicily was the well-known Magna Grecia with a huge number of historic Greek cities. That's why it shows up so often in Turkish DNA tests. Only Greek origin also means S. Italy. Also, when you are generally and vaguely called Caucasus, it is good to understand Pontus and where they generally and vaguely call you Balkania, to understand that it is Greece from behind. The entire Mediterranean was the Greek world. From India and Iran to the Blue Coast, and from Egypt to Libya and Italy, it was nothing but the Greek world. That's why your genetic profile hangs around there''... What don't you understand?
@@fotinikermanidou9563 Iran? How do you also claim that Iran was a part of Greek territory? With what document? Today's Turkey has been in the hands of the Persians for hundreds of years. It was after the Achaemenids that Turkey was constantly moving with the Iran and Greece wars. Such a lie is ridiculous and unbelievable. I have to remind you of the burning of Athens by King Xerxes of Persia!
He only has 3% Turk-DNA who is Central Asia & Mongolia. 47% Turkey & Caucasus meas Asia Minor and 44% Persia. So he is half Hettitean and half Persian with a little bit arabian and roman DNA. Makes totally sense.
@@stirlingmoss9637 One example, they renamed Turkey & Caucasus to Anatolia & Caucasus. So in regards to this guy's results, he is 47% native Anatolian. Granted, AncestryDNA also changes their results year to year so those percentages may have changed. As for the other changes of West Asia, they subdivided it into smaller groups and more regions within those groups. For example, the Levant itself has 3 main branches, with 2 to 4 specific regions in each of those branches.
15:37 In Constantinople of 1614: [...]During the course of his voyage, della Valle composed a detailed and suggestive description of the "men and women, soldiers, sailors, merchants and passengers," some five hundred in total, who accompanied him. He paid particular attention to his fellow travelers, who were a decidedly diverse lot: "There were Catholic Christians, heretics of various sects, Greeks, Armenians, Turks, Persians, Jews, Italians from almost all cities, French, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Germans Flemmings, and to conlcude in a few words, [people] of almost all religions and nations of the world[...]
test results are very prone to misunderstanding. In fact, Turkey Turks do not have many and varied ancestors in the last 1000 years. Before the Turks came from Central Asia, there were Anatolian Greeks in the western, northern, central and southern parts of current Turkey, while there were Armenians in the east. The genetic structure of the Turks of Turkey was formed by the mixing of the local elements of this geography with the Turks from Central Asia. the dominant element is local nations (70-80%). Even if there are small communities or familial mingling with different nationalities, this cannot reflect the generality of Turkey Turks.
In 2 - 3 - 6 generations from now Greeks will be interested in US or Australian Greeks rather than Anatolian Greeks, because Anatolia Greeks live in Greece now.
There is no Turk in Turkey, they all are assimilated populations of the Eastern roman empire (aka byzantium). Greeks - Armenians - Bulgarians and other Iranic people.
Being half Turkish my DNA had a really high Italian percentage, altough looking at my family tree they were Anatolian farmers from a small village the last 200 years. I contacted the company and they agreed that it is likely that native Anatolian DNA can be confused with Italian DNA ( for example the Etruscans originate in Anatolia/Greece ).
Yup! Etruscan art is full of Lion-headed Chimeras, with Lions being extinct since 10,000BC on the Italian Peninsula. Greek/Anatolian art is full of Lion imagery. Romans, on the other hand, had a Wolf as their symbol, a native Italian animal. This is all before the Roman Empire which obviously included Anatolia for a very long time. After the Roman Empire, you had a deep Venetian relationship with the Ottomans. From Salt and other trade. To wars and prisoners. It's even possible Italians would serve with Greeks in the Ottoman Navies. Depending on pay or maybe a falling out with Italian authorities. There were even Genoan colonies in Crimea, which shared borders and trade again with the Ottoman territories in Ukraine. Obviously, all these ships would be stopping and passing through Constantinople/Instanbul all the time. If DNA is very high then there is also the Italian occupation of parts of Turkey from 1919 to 1922.
The Greeks had city states in Anatolia for thousands of years. Greeks also founded city states in Italy. Then the Romans conquered and occupied it for a thousand years before they got kicked out. But even after many Greek and Italian traders went back and forth to Anatolia. So many possible ways for “Italian” dna to be found among anatolians.
Turkey has a mixture of many races... They were part of Persian Empire, Roman Empire Saljuk Turks Empire they were also partially controlled by Mongols and the European Crusaders... There was also Jewish population from the time of Cyrus the great and also the Jewish migrants who escaped Europe to Turkey specially from Spain after the defeat of the Muslims in Spain.
You can tell he’s middle eastern first. His ancestors may have traveled to Turkey and mixed with some Turks, but right off the bat, it’s clear he’s Middle Eastern. He’s like a clone of the Middle East. What is she tho?
@shushanna1986 anatolian gives the avarage of the modern population. In my heritage i got 40% central asian but in 23and me i almost got none(4%) with some korean ancestry.
Middle Eastern doesn't mean anything genetically. There are a bunch of different looks over there. There are middle easterners with blonde hair and blue eyes. Especially in Lebanon. They're pure Lebanese. What he looks like is an Iranian.
Before the Ottoman Empire existed, there was the Persian (Achaemenid) Empire, and we governed the land that is now modern-day Turkey for over 1500 years! The present-day Turks and Azerbaijanis only share the language with the ancient Turks.
Turkey was the Roman empire. 1-2% is trace that could be the last relic of one Roman soldier from Italy 2000 years ago passed down. Similarly the Central and northern Asia could be what they have left of a Turkic ancestor. The majority is local - Caucasian and Anatolian and Persian. What he hasn't thought of is Iranian/Persian is probably Kurdish, which fits with his family history.
Greek Empire, Byzantine = the new Rome, it means Rome fell and a new empire came out of this, what we call today Byzantine Empire, with Greek as official language
My niece's results just came in from Ancestry (after the latest update) and hers show Anatolia & the Caucasus. I wonder if that would have shown Turkey & Caucasus before.
Probably not, showing Turkey would be inaccurate as Turkish people from Turkey are an admixture of Gokturks and other Turkic tribes mixed in with the native peoples of Anatolia, Armenian Highlands, and the Caucuses.
Two hundred fifty years ago it was 1771, just before the colonies declared independence and my paternal Y line was in Pennsylvania. By how far back some of these RUclips channels think the DNA markers represent ancestry, I should have a percentage in America. But I don’t, of course, because the DNA markers are in reference to possibly a thousand years.
@@godlychimp5134 I think that's what he meant. He doesn't get "American" because his ancestors immigrated to North America from somewhere else, and the DNA markers pick that up. Meanwhile, another person could have ancestors who've been in Turkey as long as his were in the US, but because their ancestors immigrated to Turkey from somewhere else, they don't register as Turkish.
The orignal inhabitants of Anatolia were Indo-European,so it is normal for the Turks in Turkey to be more West Asian and only slightly Central Asian.One must not forget that Anatolia was the cradle of several empires,all of which were multi-ethnic states.
Also the reason. Why almost all Turk who take the test show Italian or most correctly Rome area is when Turks enter Anatolia they defeat eastern Roman empire. After western Roman empire collapse most of Romans came to east and because of politics Kantakusenos family byzantine emperor see that western Romans a treat and send them north eastern Anatolia. My grandmother speaks romelika it's greco-romen language. And my DNA test show %18 Rome DNA not Italia. İnteresting right.
When I took my test it came back 62% Caucasus (no specific country) 15% Italian/Greek, 18% Middle Eastern, and 5% European Jew. I was surprised as both my parents are Armenian. A couple years later, I was send updated results: 92% Armenian, 4% Middle Eastern and 4% Iranian.
The ottomans..brought a lot of women from the Balkans mainly Montenegro if Montenegrin tell the story kidnapped …so that could be an explanation for the Italian/Balkan results …
There were a lot of Balkan refugees and immigrations to Turkey also due to various wars etc, even as far recent as the 1890-1920s ish. Lots of mixing back and forth in general within these regions for centuries & for various reasons.
This couple is focusing too much on modern political borders, and they don't understand the history and migration of peoples from the last 2k years. His "Turkish" DNA from this site is essentially indigenous Anatolian/Caucus ancestry. His Asian DNA is his true Turkic ancestry. The Turkic migration began in North/Central-East Asia, and intermingled and Turkified many peoples, mainly Iranic peoples, for those that migrated toward Anatolia. His Italian ancestry is likely from Roman times or possibly an enslaved person from Ottoman times. At a minimum they need to read up on the Seljuk Empire, which at it's height covered or touched most of the the areas he is grouping with.
You all should know that these tests can only give an estimate of your orgins and no test can give 100% accuracy There has been so much intertwined marriages throughout everyone's ancesters
The Ottoman Empires led to Caucus/Georgian men and women marrying men and women from Kurdistan, Anatolia, Eurasian people. This man is a perfect Turkish person. He represents Turkish history.
Yes! I've recorded my reaction to the first episode and am aiming to have it out by Monday, but I've fallen really far behind schedule on things and may not have it out until the next Monday. But either way...it is coming!!!
I'm a Turkish person with a stereotypically 'European' look, like light coloured eyes, super pale skin etc. My dad's side of the family all agrees we are *some* form of Balkan but we have no idea what exactly. Macedon I heard, Hungarian, Greece... And I can only trace my family to my great great grandparents, anything before the 1890s is a mystery to us. As someone who feels like the black sheep in his culture, I want to know what my ethnic background exactly is so that if there is a significant percentage of one thing I can learn about it. I don't know, this is a ramble.
Me too!! Exactly haha. Well, you’re not alone at least 😂 This is actually why I decided to go through genetic testing, the intent to find a more scientific identity since I confuse people, as well as understand what my ancestors might have gone through (Balkan Turks as an example faced a lot of turmoil). I’m still waiting on my results but the more I learn about genetic testing & also history, the more I realize my results aren’t going to give me much identity connection other than tell me “congratulations you’re a melting pot!”. But if anything that’s pretty great too, we have a very complex history.
Hi I have a question. If your DNA results say you’re from modern day Turkey (caucuses) wouldn’t that mean you are actually like Armenian/Georgian because those are the indigenous people to those lands?
I watched hers. Yes, react to it. And yes Turkish comes up as it's on group on Ancestry. I was 1% Turkish at one point. Then North African, then Italian, then nothing.
Eastern Turkey,the historic armenia, was predominantly Armenian. Armenians were subject to a genocide which resulted in 1,500,000 Armenians being massacred. The Majority of survivors converted to Islam and have been living as moslems or Kurds. Only a few small villages have maintained their Armenian population. There are many cases every year when a grandma or grandpa reveals their Armenian heritage and cause a huge identity crisis among the family members. Fear of massacre and persecution has created the term “hidden Armenians” in Turkey. Turkey has denied the genocide of Armenians in 1915 to this day.
You can’t know everything without knowing the paternal and maternal haplogroups. That’s actually the most significant information that everyone misses.
My dad's family came over from Greece and I am 25% Italian, then 14 % Greek, then 9% Cypriot and 2% Iranian. So he is right about the Turkey, Italy and Greece connection. My dad's family thought they were GREEK period. My mom's side is all Polish and Irish. (So please, have a moment of silence for my very very white skin and dark very coarse hair! It is not cool!)
Turkish people are not Mongolian there two different ethnicitys that lived side by side and some did inter marry! But not quit the same if anything the turks are more near to the Persians as the selcuk empire came from Iran then the empire became the ottomans empire then thay pushed into Europe so they will have roman or Greek ansestry!!
As I am Mongol, I am very happy with the DNA test results of this Turkish guy. How he could firmly believe that his ancestors came from Mongolia!!! That is not true. Turks were originated from Central Asia, in particular Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Uighur in Xinjan China. Mongolia is a Northeast Asian country. We are NOT RELATED to TURKS.....!!!!!
@@shrektheintelllectual3615 Then why is Eastern Turkey DNA test overwhelmingly Iranian? Why have The Caucasus been part of Iran more than Turkey has existed times four? How come you have less than 5 percent Central Asian DNA but claim to be Turkic? How come you guys can't get a map and look at where Turkmenistan is? How come Iran is more Turkic and more Caucasian but you guys claim to be Turks and Caucasians? How come ancient clothing in Turkey is similar to ancient clothes in Iran?
Turkish people in turkey not real turks but turkeyfied most of them have the same race with iranians because turkey was part of persian empire and in genetic maps usually iran and turkey are in a one map and most turkish are more european than central asia
When he said his family traveled, does that mean he thought he was part Romane? And to be fair, if they did this testing 500 years ago probably it would show that people that thought they were one thing, might be something else. he actually looked a bit shocked.
@@ChatrandomGuy before that, it was anatolian whose people were hittitities, phrygrians, urartians and the others. alexander the great invade the country and assimilated the people but peoples geneology cannot change like that. that's why greek blood is so less.
5:33 I too thought Turkish people aren't indigenous to the place so their DNA has to be traced back to its origin outside Turkey. 11:21 It's not Russia but only Siberia as it has Turkic population, so it completely makes sense. Although no Central Asian seems odd.
The part of Russia that's covered by 'Northern and Central Asia' is not referring to ethnic Russians, but to the indigenous Turkic and Mongolic peoples who live in the region, like the Yakut. When he states that he comes from Central Asia and Mongolia, he is referring to ethnic Turks, who, yes, came originally from Central Asia near Mongolia. The whole nation of Turks has that as their homeland, but as they migrated west, they picked up and intermingled with other people groups, so that Turks in Turkey today show a majority admixture from other peoples compare to other Turkic peoples still living in Central and Northern Asia. He's not making it up.
For turks who are skeptical about this kind of DNA results I give you a story. When thw sultan sold Cyprus to the British they organised a population census to define the islands demography. During the census about 15000 "turkish" cypriots declared that they were not indeed turks but violently islamised greeks , who practiced christian religion secretly for centuries. They had been called "linovamvakoi" a combined word from the words "lino=linen" and "vamvaki=cotton" , metaphorically meaning they had double face clothes= second hidden identity.... The rest of the turkish cypriots (the majority I mean ) were turkified greeks also , who lost their identity.... The same happened all over Turkey, especially in kappadokia and black sea. There are plenty historical articles for any mistrustful doubter .... The conclusions are yours but you have to be open-minded and critical to the turcocentric "education" they give you for decades through totally controlled education system and media....
1:20 Mediterranean? Aren’t Turks Mediterranean anyway? I always though ‘Mediterranean’ as a term had more geographical connotations than genetic given that say…Spaniards are pretty genetically distinct from Greeks for example.
Mediterranean people are mix between three race Semitic and aryan and African the Turks came after 11 century by Arab at first after that they travel to middle east
In my experience the times when DNA tests are inexpensive also often result in backed-up lab times. I'll note "in my experience" includes seven tests I paid for.

It's very common for Turks to have Greek armeanian & Jewish ansestry there was a lot of Jews in the ottoman empire in high ranks and perfecions very interesting video thanks.
@@michelesmith2620 Yes Greeks were before everyone. Turks brought the central Asia DNA. Fact is many Turks are from genissaries, christians that were islamized + christian women in harems + Greek and all Balkan women as the Sultan's wife.
Turks are a mixed group, but when he said traveling people then likely he would have the Romani ancestry that many Turks have as ancestors. Its really in the culture of Turkey. But he likely has an indo iranian ancestor and I say that as a hypothesis but the Seljuk Turks were already in Turkey by the 11th century. Seljuks were from the Oghuz tribe and on another note there were strong holds of greek islands held by Venetians and Genoese so could explain the Italian ancestry, they also took a lot of slaves and imported them in the Ottoman empire, Italians being some of them. This was a corridor of a lot of coming and goings of people's ancestries who left their mark on the Turkish population.
Yeeeah, these are young people, still believing verbatim what their parents have told them. It blows people's minds to think of how many paths all their individual ancestors had to trek to get to each of us today. Crazy.
He said "majority is in turkey" lol when turkey has not existed before the nomads invaded the great Armenian Kingdom. He was also sad to see Armenia included when in fact turkey is Historical Armenia. He is in fact mostly armenian but he is to scared of the thought because of all the brainwash and hatred they learn from birth.
You mean Greek kingdom. Eirini Athinea, Eirini from Athens was a woman byzantine queen. Everybody was speaking Greek we have literature texts and they are close to modern Greek
Im a turk from central anatolia and I have the following DNA test result West asian 43,2% Central asian 4,1% Greek and southern Italian 24,1% Italian 12,4% Middle East 16,2%
As a Turk he should know the Roman Empire and the Greek Empires ruled Anatolia for (combined) thousands of years. Some peasant when the Turks migrated anywhere from 1000 years ago to recent times could've been an ancestor, probably a victim from some raid by Turkish cavalry.
I agree, family trees are surprising. For many of my ancestral lineages, the trail goes cold around the 1550's, a time of upheaval and transition from catholic to Protestant in my country (the Netherlands). But some lineages go way back, because they were richer,.or noble, and then you see political marriages across Europe. The daughter of a Byzantine emperor was married off to a Germanic nobleman, a granddaughter of the English/Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great was married off to a Saxon nobleman. And in his ancestry, there is also Celtic ancestry from Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Byzantine princess jad ancestry from the successor states of Alexander the Great's empire, all the way to Bactria. There is potential for some disparate dna in my future test. Or mostly Dutch.
Focus only on that he said his people are Yoruk, which are herding culture. By the results submitted, there's a possibility the Yoruks were in Iran of old Persia when his great-great-grandparents were alive.
this is one is particularly confused... since it doesn't just name countries it actually shows the range on a map, so I dunno why he's confused about ME/Ira/Turkey... so much overlap.. I mean looking at this, he could very well have Greek ancestors. I think most people are too beholden to national myths/narratives as opposed to actual history.
Greek dna must be more common along the coast. Even if the anatolian populations once spoke greek, it does not mean that they were genetically greek. Do not forget that langages spread more easily than genes.
He kind of hints with the Mongolian/Central Asian talk that his family might be more recent arrivals from the east. Maybe in the last 200 years and then settled in Eastern Turkey.
The 47% Turkey and Caucasus is actually Anatolian Greek genes you could call. The name indicates region and not ethnic group of Turkic central Asians. Thus, Anatolian genes are common to Armenians and Georgians as well as it was shown on the map.
well, Turks have been in contact with Persians and surrounding nations for thousands of years.. without forgetting that todays Iran's northern east and northern west areas have big Turkish speaking populations
Language is different from genetics and originality. The language of the northwestern regions of Iran was ancient Azeri, and later it was imposed on Turkish due to the invasion of the Mongols. But the race and origin of the people of that area (Tabriz, Ardabil, Urmia) is Iranian

He does look very Iranian. If his roots go back to Iran and eastern Turkey, I'm guessing maybe his roots are actually Kurdish, which like Persian are an Iranic speaking people and the Kurds have been living in that region for thousands of years before the first Turkic tribes arrived there from central Asia

I am sure he knows that he is Kurdish, he said that his family originated from Eastern Turkey, which means from Kurdish regions of the country. Moreover, his accent def sounds like a Kurdish accent so he surely knows his Kurdish ancestry better than you. Some Kurds just prefer to call themselves Turk. Because Turkey is full of different ethnicities and all of us call ourselves Turks, which indicates mostly like being a Turkish citizen. Nobody is Turk Turk in Turkey ethnically.
that guy has 3 % turkic dna, which is weird that noone talks about this. and what got him confused is that russia is part of that 3 percent. well that is because part of todays russia is the origin of the turks. still today in russia live millions of native turkic people who still speak turkish. its hard to understand for me that he doesnt know about his own culture.
Russia conquered a large part of Central/Inner Asia. Now this happened much later than when the Turks who migrated into the Middle East so I don’t think that he is Russian (or have much).

Turks came from East to West in millions, Turks are divided into two branches, Oghuz Turks and other branches (Kazakh-Kyrgyz-Uzbek-Uyghur-Tuva-Sakha-etc.), Oghuz Turks do not have slant eyes, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Uyghur, Tuva, Saka etc. Turkic peoples have slant eyes because they intermarried with Mongols and Chinese. There is no document showing that Oghuz Turks have slant eyes, it is not possible due to the climate. My friend, you are writing wrong information in your mind with prejudice, not historical facts. Also, it is not possible for small countries like Greece with a population of 9 million and 2 million to assimilate millions of Oghuz Turks exceeding 150 million. But I am not saying that our genes are not mixed, the reason is this. Turks are a warlike and imperialist expansionist nation. They would marry the women of the countries they conquered, even though it may seem like the majority because their DNA comes from the mother, Atatürk has a saying "How happy is the one who says I am a Turk", meaning if a person feels Turkish, he is Turkish.
Iran is definitely about half Judaic and otherwise Semitic. Turkmenistan has everyones paternal and maternal haplogroups except for the L mitochondrial haplogroup that all went to Africa.
People who have “Mongolian” genes, their “heartland” not only radiates in Mongolia but north into Siberia which is Russia now.

test results are very prone to misunderstanding. In fact, Turkey Turks do not have many and varied ancestors in the last 1000 years. Before the Turks came from Central Asia, there were Anatolian Greeks in the western, northern, central and southern parts of current Turkey, while there were Armenians in the east. The genetic structure of the Turks of Turkey was formed by the mixing of the local elements of this geography with the Turks from Central Asia. the dominant element is local nations (70-80%). Even if there are small communities or familial mingling with different nationalities, this cannot reflect the generality of Turkey Turks.
In 2 - 3 - 6 generations from now Greeks will be interested in US or Australian Greeks rather than Anatolian Greeks, because Anatolia Greeks live in Greece now.
@@ChatrandomGuy It's true. Even the so called "turks" start to comprehend this scenario.
There is no Turk in Turkey, they all are assimilated populations of the Eastern roman empire (aka byzantium). Greeks - Armenians - Bulgarians and other Iranic people.
@@ChatrandomGuy did you learn the janissaries in your schools?
Being half Turkish my DNA had a really high Italian percentage, altough looking at my family tree they were Anatolian farmers from a small village the last 200 years. I contacted the company and they agreed that it is likely that native Anatolian DNA can be confused with Italian DNA ( for example the Etruscans originate in Anatolia/Greece ).
Yup! Etruscan art is full of Lion-headed Chimeras, with Lions being extinct since 10,000BC on the Italian Peninsula. Greek/Anatolian art is full of Lion imagery. Romans, on the other hand, had a Wolf as their symbol, a native Italian animal. This is all before the Roman Empire which obviously included Anatolia for a very long time. After the Roman Empire, you had a deep Venetian relationship with the Ottomans. From Salt and other trade. To wars and prisoners. It's even possible Italians would serve with Greeks in the Ottoman Navies. Depending on pay or maybe a falling out with Italian authorities. There were even Genoan colonies in Crimea, which shared borders and trade again with the Ottoman territories in Ukraine. Obviously, all these ships would be stopping and passing through Constantinople/Instanbul all the time. If DNA is very high then there is also the Italian occupation of parts of Turkey from 1919 to 1922.
Wow this is astonishing! Do you have any idea what they mean by native Anatolian? Because Turkish people are not native in Anatolia.
Kamil can you please tell me the company you did the DNA test with?
The Greeks had city states in Anatolia for thousands of years. Greeks also founded city states in Italy. Then the Romans conquered and occupied it for a thousand years before they got kicked out. But even after many Greek and Italian traders went back and forth to Anatolia. So many possible ways for “Italian” dna to be found among anatolians.
@@lewisacaroll2429 the hitties and trojans were native anatolian
Turkey has a mixture of many races... They were part of Persian Empire, Roman Empire Saljuk Turks Empire they were also partially controlled by Mongols and the European Crusaders... There was also Jewish population from the time of Cyrus the great and also the Jewish migrants who escaped Europe to Turkey specially from Spain after the defeat of the Muslims in Spain.

Before the Ottoman Empire existed, there was the Persian (Achaemenid) Empire, and we governed the land that is now modern-day Turkey for over 1500 years! The present-day Turks and Azerbaijanis only share the language with the ancient Turks.
Turkey was the Roman empire. 1-2% is trace that could be the last relic of one Roman soldier from Italy 2000 years ago passed down. Similarly the Central and northern Asia could be what they have left of a Turkic ancestor. The majority is local - Caucasian and Anatolian and Persian. What he hasn't thought of is Iranian/Persian is probably Kurdish, which fits with his family history.
Greek Empire, Byzantine = the new Rome, it means Rome fell and a new empire came out of this, what we call today Byzantine Empire, with Greek as official language
My niece's results just came in from Ancestry (after the latest update) and hers show Anatolia & the Caucasus. I wonder if that would have shown Turkey & Caucasus before.
Probably not, showing Turkey would be inaccurate as Turkish people from Turkey are an admixture of Gokturks and other Turkic tribes mixed in with the native peoples of Anatolia, Armenian Highlands, and the Caucuses.
Armenians are probably what the indigenous anatolians were but not sure
Two hundred fifty years ago it was 1771, just before the colonies declared independence and my paternal Y line was in Pennsylvania.
By how far back some of these RUclips channels think the DNA markers represent ancestry, I should have a percentage in America.
But I don’t, of course, because the DNA markers are in reference to possibly a thousand years.
You would not have “American” dna unless you are Native American. So it doesn’t matter what time.
@@godlychimp5134 I think that's what he meant. He doesn't get "American" because his ancestors immigrated to North America from somewhere else, and the DNA markers pick that up. Meanwhile, another person could have ancestors who've been in Turkey as long as his were in the US, but because their ancestors immigrated to Turkey from somewhere else, they don't register as Turkish.
Basically, the tests go too far back
During the Mongol invasion many Persian speaking people went to Asia Minor, which is called Turkey today !!
The orignal inhabitants of Anatolia were Indo-European,so it is normal for the Turks in Turkey to be more West Asian and only slightly Central Asian.One must not forget that Anatolia was the cradle of several empires,all of which were multi-ethnic states.
Also the reason. Why almost all Turk who take the test show Italian or most correctly Rome area is when Turks enter Anatolia they defeat eastern Roman empire. After western Roman empire collapse most of Romans came to east and because of politics Kantakusenos family byzantine emperor see that western Romans a treat and send them north eastern Anatolia. My grandmother speaks romelika it's greco-romen language. And my DNA test show %18 Rome DNA not Italia. İnteresting right.
Well, the Romans believed that the first Romans were Anatolians. So that makes sense.
Greek not roman actually
Greeks and romans came from anatolia they are both descended from armenian like peoples who are in turn descended from Iran mesopotamians and levant
When I took my test it came back 62% Caucasus (no specific country) 15% Italian/Greek, 18% Middle Eastern, and 5% European Jew. I was surprised as both my parents are Armenian. A couple years later, I was send updated results: 92% Armenian, 4% Middle Eastern and 4% Iranian.

The ottomans..brought a lot of women from the Balkans mainly Montenegro if Montenegrin tell the story kidnapped …so that could be an explanation for the Italian/Balkan results …
There were a lot of Balkan refugees and immigrations to Turkey also due to various wars etc, even as far recent as the 1890-1920s ish. Lots of mixing back and forth in general within these regions for centuries & for various reasons.
This couple is focusing too much on modern political borders, and they don't understand the history and migration of peoples from the last 2k years. His "Turkish" DNA from this site is essentially indigenous Anatolian/Caucus ancestry. His Asian DNA is his true Turkic ancestry. The Turkic migration began in North/Central-East Asia, and intermingled and Turkified many peoples, mainly Iranic peoples, for those that migrated toward Anatolia. His Italian ancestry is likely from Roman times or possibly an enslaved person from Ottoman times. At a minimum they need to read up on the Seljuk Empire, which at it's height covered or touched most of the the areas he is grouping with.
You all should know that these tests can only give an estimate of your orgins and no test can give 100% accuracy There has been so much intertwined marriages throughout everyone's ancesters
The Ottoman Empires led to Caucus/Georgian men and women marrying men and women from Kurdistan, Anatolia, Eurasian people. This man is a perfect Turkish person. He represents Turkish history.

Me too!! Exactly haha. Well, you’re not alone at least 😂 This is actually why I decided to go through genetic testing, the intent to find a more scientific identity since I confuse people, as well as understand what my ancestors might have gone through (Balkan Turks as an example faced a lot of turmoil). I’m still waiting on my results but the more I learn about genetic testing & also history, the more I realize my results aren’t going to give me much identity connection other than tell me “congratulations you’re a melting pot!”.

I watched hers. Yes, react to it. And yes Turkish comes up as it's on group on Ancestry. I was 1% Turkish at one point. Then North African, then Italian, then nothing.
Eastern Turkey,the historic armenia, was predominantly Armenian. Armenians were subject to a genocide which resulted in 1,500,000 Armenians being massacred. The Majority of survivors converted to Islam and have been living as moslems or Kurds. Only a few small villages have maintained their Armenian population. There are many cases every year when a grandma or grandpa reveals their Armenian heritage and cause a huge identity crisis among the family members. Fear of massacre and persecution has created the term “hidden Armenians” in Turkey. Turkey has denied the genocide of Armenians in 1915 to this day.
There are "hidden Greeks" as well. Turkish lies will come to the fore!

You can’t know everything without knowing the paternal and maternal haplogroups. That’s actually the most significant information that everyone misses.

11:21 It's not Russia but only Siberia as it has Turkic population, so it completely makes sense. Although no Central Asian seems odd.
The part of Russia that's covered by 'Northern and Central Asia' is not referring to ethnic Russians, but to the indigenous Turkic and Mongolic peoples who live in the region, like the Yakut. When he states that he comes from Central Asia and Mongolia, he is referring to ethnic Turks, who, yes, came originally from Central Asia near Mongolia. The whole nation of Turks has that as their homeland, but as they migrated west, they picked up and intermingled with other people groups, so that Turks in Turkey today show a majority admixture from other peoples compare to other Turkic peoples still living in Central and Northern Asia. He's not making it up.

For turks who are skeptical about this kind of DNA results I give you a story. When thw sultan sold Cyprus to the British they organised a population census to define the islands demography. During the census about 15000 "turkish" cypriots declared that they were not indeed turks but violently islamised greeks , who practiced christian religion secretly for centuries. They had been called "linovamvakoi" a combined word from the words "lino=linen" and "vamvaki=cotton" , metaphorically meaning they had double face clothes= second hidden identity.... The rest of the turkish cypriots (the majority I mean ) were turkified greeks also , who lost their identity.... The same happened all over Turkey, especially in kappadokia and black sea. There are plenty historical articles for any mistrustful doubter .... The conclusions are yours but you have to be open-minded and critical to the turcocentric "education" they give you for decades through totally controlled education system and media....
I think you forget about slavery in this context, the Ottomans were a major trade, especially Slavs from the Balkans etc.
1:20 Mediterranean? Aren’t Turks Mediterranean anyway? I always though ‘Mediterranean’ as a term had more geographical connotations than genetic given that say…Spaniards are pretty genetically distinct from Greeks for example.

But he likely has an indo iranian ancestor and I say that as a hypothesis but the Seljuk Turks were already in Turkey by the 11th century. Seljuks were from the Oghuz tribe and on another note there were strong holds of greek islands held by Venetians and Genoese so could explain the Italian ancestry, they also took a lot of slaves and imported them in the Ottoman empire, Italians being some of them. This was a corridor of a lot of coming and goings of people's ancestries who left their mark on the Turkish population.

As a Turk he should know the Roman Empire and the Greek Empires ruled Anatolia for (combined) thousands of years. Some peasant when the Turks migrated anywhere from 1000 years ago to recent times could've been an ancestor, probably a victim from some raid by Turkish cavalry.

Don't forget Persian Empire, the largest of the ancient world!!!
I agree, family trees are surprising. For many of my ancestral lineages, the trail goes cold around the 1550's, a time of upheaval and transition from catholic to Protestant in my country (the Netherlands). But some lineages go way back, because they were richer,.or noble, and then you see political marriages across Europe. The daughter of a Byzantine emperor was married off to a Germanic nobleman, a granddaughter of the English/Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great was married off to a Saxon nobleman. And in his ancestry, there is also Celtic ancestry from Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Byzantine princess jad ancestry from the successor states of Alexander the Great's empire, all the way to Bactria. There is potential for some disparate dna in my future test. Or mostly Dutch.
Focus only on that he said his people are Yoruk, which are herding culture. By the results submitted, there's a possibility the Yoruks were in Iran of old Persia when his great-great-grandparents were alive.
this is one is particularly confused... since it doesn't just name countries it actually shows the range on a map, so I dunno why he's confused about ME/Ira/Turkey... so much overlap.. I mean looking at this, he could very well have Greek ancestors.
I think most people are too beholden to national myths/narratives as opposed to actual history.
I'm surprised there is no Greek.
Greek dna must be more common along the coast. Even if the anatolian populations once spoke greek, it does not mean that they were genetically greek. Do not forget that langages spread more easily than genes.
he is Yörük. its mean he is Turkmen Turkish. in Turkey %15-20 million Turkmen alevi people living they most pure Turkish people.
He kind of hints with the Mongolian/Central Asian talk that his family might be more recent arrivals from the east. Maybe in the last 200 years and then settled in Eastern Turkey.
The 47% Turkey and Caucasus is actually Anatolian Greek genes you could call. The name indicates region and not ethnic group of Turkic central Asians. Thus, Anatolian genes are common to Armenians and Georgians as well as it was shown on the map.

It’s not so easy to know which direction the migration was.
Turks came from East to West in millions, Turks are divided into two branches, Oghuz Turks and other branches (Kazakh-Kyrgyz-Uzbek-Uyghur-Tuva-Sakha-etc.), Oghuz Turks do not have slant eyes, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Uyghur, Tuva, Saka etc. Turkic peoples have slant eyes because they intermarried with Mongols and Chinese. There is no document showing that Oghuz Turks have slant eyes, it is not possible due to the climate. My friend, you are writing wrong information in your mind with prejudice, not historical facts. Also, it is not possible for small countries like Greece with a population of 9 million and 2 million to assimilate millions of Oghuz Turks exceeding 150 million. But I am not saying that our genes are not mixed, the reason is this. Turks are a warlike and imperialist expansionist nation. They would marry the women of the countries they conquered, even though it may seem like the majority because their DNA comes from the mother, Atatürk has a saying "How happy is the one who says I am a Turk", meaning if a person feels Turkish, he is Turkish.
60 70 % turkish lol he is going to be surprised
Like Malta..
İran is very normal. The Turks entered to Anatolia from northern İran
The Turks invaded Iran so many times and even build a dynasty there so its not that surprised tbh.
might be from the kinik tribe of the oghuz turks which first mixed with the iranians before coming to anatolia
Cape Verdian next pls
Turkish could be anything. Virtually all of the Y chromosomes are represented.
Iran is definitely about half Judaic and otherwise Semitic. Turkmenistan has everyones paternal and maternal haplogroups except for the L mitochondrial haplogroup that all went to Africa.
There is very little if any semetic DNA in modern Iranians. Quit lying
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I went back as babylon
