Question #3702: Iranian race

[Ask Satya Operator]

What countries are Iranians genetically compatible with?

 

[Invictvs]

Iranians are part of the European Caucasoid race according to genetic studies. Most of them are not Arabs, although some of them are.

DNA tests show Iranians are closest to the Greeks than any other Ethnicity. I have no idea why that is, possibly because Mr. Alexander the Great conquered Persia or the Persians conquered most of Greece or any other reasons.

They are also genetically close to other Europeans, but not as close as to the Greeks.

 

[Enastri]

It is possible that the name Persia comes from the Greek mythical hero Perseus, who killed Medusa.

 

[Zevist Aris Polymachos]

Probably neighbouring countries and those considered to be sub-groups of Persian/Iranian peoples.
