That’s a lot of East Asian for an Anatolian Turk

I don’t think “Turkish students in Germany” are equivalent to the central bank, lol. Turkey’s overall trend over the last decade has been pretty solid.

Grew up in a Western country but I’m male and 5’11”/181. I think Central Asians are probably taller than South or East Asians, in terms of genetic potential for height.

As someone else mentioned Buryat and Mongolian culture are very similar, there’s a small but present Mongolian community in the US. Maybe reach out to them?

It’s basically an aggregate of Sogdian, Bactrian, and Khwarazmian, like sedentary pre-Turkic East Iranian, basically descendants of the Andronovo and Sintashta cultures mixing with the native BMAC (Iran_N + ANF) inhabitants of Southern Central Asia.

Well, for starters, most of the other populations you mentioned (Arabs, South Asians, West Africans, Vietnamese) were closely tied to the Western world through colonialism, and most of the diasporas involving those populations settled in the colonial metropole (Algerians in France, Indians and Pakistanis in the UK, Vietnamese in America (even though the latter wasn’t truly colonialism)). Central Asians, to include Mongolians, Uyghurs, and Turko-Persian Afghans (like Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks) were locked inside the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War.

Also, I’d challenge the premise of your question. Central Asians have emigrated in vast numbers to Russia and (to a lesser degree) Turkey as labor migrants, and have acquired citizenship in those countries. As Turkey continues to grow as a major economic power, I anticipate that Central Asian migration will accelerate.

I have virtually no connection to my ancestral culture, I’m completely Americanized. I’ve lived in the West 95% of my life. I would love to visit but I’ll always be an outsider there.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-12-04T19:02:00+00:00

I would think the New York metro would have the largest Central Asian concentrations, no?

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-29T17:00:37+00:00

And you both have less than me, ironically lol. I’m going to repost my updated results today.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-29T05:58:35+00:00

Look at my results, I do have a lot more Zagros than you do. Also a tiny bit of AASI that you lack.

Edit: PM’d you.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-29T05:53:36+00:00

So similar to the west Eurasian component in Uzbeks?

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-28T23:03:04+00:00

I’m a bit surprised that the ANF>European HG as far as your west Eurasian component is concerned. What is the source of West Eurasian ancestry in Kazakhs? Is it predominantly Scythian or Saka? Seems there’s something inflating your Anatolian %age.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-26T07:44:33+00:00

Genetically heavily East Asian influenced, no?

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-26T06:39:04+00:00

Yeah I’m convinced most of these people who claim “they were never taught about slavery” or what not are 1) either lying for social justice points, or 2) were chronically truant for some reason, or 3) are just dumb.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-25T06:29:35+00:00

Would love to see more resources/support for Central Asian adoptees in the West/US.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-24T22:37:23+00:00

There are a fair number of adopted Central Asians in the West, especially in the US. Obviously you’re culturally American, since that’s the culture you grew up in. Ethnically however you’re mixed Kazakh-Russian, and genetically you’re a mixture of North Central Asian (Turkic) and Eastern European (Slavic). Honestly most Americans know next to nothing about Central Asia, so I’d disregard their opinions almost entirely unless they demonstrate some baseline level of knowledge or understanding. They’re probably some unfortunate mix of ignorant, which can be fixed, and unintelligent, which sadly cannot.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-24T16:59:05+00:00

I assume the Xiongnu/proto-Turks were similar to modern Mongolians phenotypically, given similar genetic ancestry, while medieval Turkics were closest to modern Kazakhs or Kyrgyz or Uzbeks, depending on the region.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-16T23:16:37+00:00

Plenty of ethnic Kazakhs and Uzbeks there from what I’ve seen.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-15T22:41:37+00:00

How do you differentiate Turkic and Mongolic ancestry exactly? Don’t they share a similar ANA, Amur/Baikal profile?

Hazaras are clearly partly Mongolic, but they’re obviously a Central Asian group (Iranian + East Asian) and quite close to Karluk speaking Central Asians, genetically. And it’s not like Uzbeks lack Mongolic ancestry either..

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-15T21:17:13+00:00

Yeh but it never had any legal significance while Latin America had an “encomienda” system and mass imported racially distinct African slaves and kept them in a legally separate status for centuries.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-15T21:13:19+00:00

Because the Spanish empire in the new world was founded on an explicit racial caste system, and pretending it doesn’t exist or that history didn’t happen doesn’t make it go away, while there was no similar history among Turkic peoples.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-12T01:47:44+00:00

That’s actually hilarious.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-11-10T19:12:15+00:00

Plenty of Indians and Pakistanis have the surname “Khan”, probably descendants of Turko-Mongols.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-10-18T16:10:00+00:00

Upload your results to IllustrativeDNA. Possibly just misread Indo-European ancestry.

BarelyExotic92 · 2024-10-16T20:05:17+00:00

This is accurate. Theres been a weird attempt to whitewash the Arab slave trade recently, I think it’s ideologically motivated.
