If Pashtuns were Aryans...

[shamla12]

If Pashtuns were Aryans, why do they look different from other Aryans like the Tajiks and Iranians for instance? The signature Pashtun look looks more Jewish to me than anything.

The haplogroup R1a (Y-DNA) is found at a frequency of 51.02% among Pashtuns. According to a 2012 study:

“ MDS and Barrier analysis have identified a significant affinity between Pashtun, Tajik, North Indian, and West Indian populations, creating an Afghan-Indian population structure that excludes the Hazaras, Uzbeks, and the South Indian Dravidian speakers. In addition, gene flow to Afghanistan from India marked by Indian lineages, L-M20, H-M69, and R2a-M124, also seems to mostly involve Pashtuns and Tajiks. This genetic affinity and gene flow suggests interactions that could have existed since at least the establishment of the region's first civilizations at the Indus Valley and the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex. ”
The abstract states "Our results that all current Afghans largely share a heritage derived from a common unstructured ancestral population that could have emerged during the Neolithic revolution and the formation of the first farming communities. Our results also indicate that inter-Afghan differentiation started during the Bronze Age, probably driven by the formation of the first civilizations in the region."

Lol yeah a lot and they look like Pashtuns to me. I went in to a Jewish bakery (I didn't know it was Jewish) to buy bread and said Salam alikum to the man...he did not look any different from a Kandahari but woop he turned around and there was a yarmulke on his head lol


But more generally yeah they look the same to me. I think Pashtuns and Jewish people look a lot alike. I can tell an Afghan Tajik apart from a Pashtun but often have trouble telling apart a Pashtun and Jew who originate from areas much farther away from one another.

[A.Alraeesi]

Yeah the man was Sephardic from Bukhara. The Sephardics look mostly like Pashtuns but there's also lots of European Jews and they also look like Pashtuns but just whiter.

Adam I am on an iPod but I'll try. And I'm not sending you my friends pics :P

I had a Christian tell me I look like I just came out of the pages of the Old Testament. The Aryan theory is just bs inferiority complex, done by uncle tom Afghans.

[faye]

well they didn't have cameras in the old testament days, so images would be from paintings. if they are painted by european christians, they will look like europeans more than likely. you know like, the blonde jesus.

[faye]

lol, so you are not looking like the blonde jesus? you looking more arabic?
