LMAO; Indo Europeans back at it again. 1. Bashkirs are literally modelled as Ugric + Medieval Turkic + recent Slavic admixture, 2. As the Turkic people spread out, the Scythians were already gone, 3. This rather proofs that "Scythians" were not an Indo European group, but a union of diverse tribes.

They keep saying they don’t know who proto-Turkic people were. Or where Turkic languages originate from, BUT at the same that they keep pushing the idea that Turks are definitely from East Asia and East Asians. Some of them can’t even agree about the fact Siberian Turkic people are from Siberia. Also, they can like it or not; even their reports show that Turkic people definitely are from Siberia and Central Asia. It’s like they really don’t want us to be from somewhere. Also, maybe this is just my opinion, but you can’t figure out someone’s origin unless you understand their way of life. Their philosophy. Their culture. I can distinguish Siberian natives from each other, these people can’t. They can’t even distinguish Central Asian people, hell they can’t even distinguish Turkish people from Greeks/Arabs/Kurds. And I’m not just saying this from a genetic point, I’m saying it in every single way. These people simply don’t know us, but want to claim things about us when they simply don’t know the people they’re speaking of. Okay, let’s say we really are from East Asia for the sake of the conversation. Does it look like any Turkic people today culturally, or even genetically seems like they are from East Asia? No, it doesn’t. Our culture and genetics don’t represent there. So, where did we get our ancestry and culture from, then? The truth is, Turkic people mixed wherever they went, but or strongest cultural and genetic ties are to Siberia and Central Asia. Rest, I don’t care. They need to either know these people’s philosophy, or don’t make comments about them. Yesterday, they were modelling Turkish people with fully Eastern Eurasian samples to find out how much Central Asian they have. The samples were not even Turkic. Of course that didn’t work. Because our ancestors came from Central Asia. I swear all Turkic people can’t catch a break.

(P.S; they don’t have a problem claiming Central Asia is Iranian, but can’t even say “Turk” to even Turks from Turkey. To them, all of us are one way or another assimilated. I can promise that except for some people in Turkey/Caucasus region, all Turkic people get some percentages of Turkic. Low or high. We still get it. They need to worry about themselves before they worry about us. Some Indo-European speaking people don’t even score Indo-European on their results, but they’re out here saying Turkic people are assimilated. I don’t even need to talk about what other Turkic people endure, all of you know.)
