Turkic/Mongol invaders.
Did they leave any cultural / genetic traces in the Middle East?
Do Persians have some Turkic genes?
Pic related is Timur'dls facial reconstruction. I never expected him to be this Asian

No they didn't. Rape babbies is a myth. Now watch as the /pol/ brigade comes in the try and pull damage control against genetic facts.
Of course they did. I mean, they created an empire, not to mention that Turkic peoples other than those cited had been migrating in and through the Middle East for over a thousand years already.
>>1856768
Turkics look asian as fuck. Look up the Uighurs
>>1856768
He kinda looks like a slitty eyed Ayatollah Khomeini/Jaffar.
>>1856819
Shi'ites confirmed for Mongols
>>1856786
Im talking about the Middle East. Not central Asia
Most modern day Turkics in the middle east look less than 10% Asian to me

Where can I get a nice Turkic waifu?
>inb4 Turkey

>Not even 200,000 of them in Iran
Wow, such a massive effect of Turkish conquest. How could I have not realized this before?
>>1856886
Most definitions of middle east don't include Afghanistan. Rightfully so.
>>1856907
Afghanistan is more middle eastern then Egypt
>>1856924
What the fuck makes you say that? The fact that Egypt has pyramids and cool pharaohs and afghanistan had Bin Laden?
>>1856934
Having sex with children is still encouraged in Afghanistan
>>1856974
What does that have to do with being the middle east?

>Im talking about the Middle East. Not central Asia
Where did you think all those Turks and Mongols first came from?
>I never expected [this Asian conqueror] to be this Asian
>>1856768
>Did they leave any cultural / genetic traces in the Middle East?
Probably yes but the thing is the settled people usually had a bigger population than the invading nomadic peoples so they just kinda assimilated after few generations
>Do Persians have some Turkic genes?
Well definitely yes.

>Well definitely yes
The average Iranian is closer to a Southern Italian than he is an Uzbek.
>>1857135
Yes but they are also closer to the uzbeks than the italians are. I'm not saying that they had a major impact but saying the turkic/mongols conquerors left no impact on the persian genes is just stupid.
>>1857148
Oh wow Turks and Persians are both skirred to the left. An indication of slight mongoloid impact
>>1856768
the genetic legacy is only seen in Iraqi and Syrian Turkmen, even then Turkic blood is even more diluted than eastern Anatolian Turks
>>1856837
>Most modern day Turkics in the middle east look less than 10% Asian to me
Anatolian Turks are natives LARPING as steppe conquerors.

I told Timur to make a tower of heads and he actually did it the absolute madman
