>>11588420>>11588423modern western and a bit middle turks are mixed race with ancient anatolian peoples.(those peoples were mixed with proto-greeks) after ottoman invasion greece had been ruled under ottomans for around 400 years.
so all of old ancient anatolian race genes spreaded whole greekistan during that era.(in the old byzantine empire, those peoples were also anatolian race because of protogreek invasion.)
so thats why modern turks looks much greeks and greeks much more turks. because of anatolian race.
i am not gonna say same for southeastern turks. they have considerably darker skin and much more looking arabs.
on the other hand Kurds are iranid people.
Anatolians /= Iranid or something. They were Hittites,Hattis,Lycians,Phrygians etc.
Most of them were using indo-european language even the first indo-european language had been used by Hittites. Thats why many scholars consider Anatolia as a birthplace of Europeans.
But there were also Hattis, those peoples were using non-indo european language but similar Caucasus language.
