Portsmouth University An Iranian scientist has done a study on the historical Aryan emigration to Iran. The theory says that about 4000 years ago the Aryan tribes emigrated to Iran from central Asia and the Caucasus. By this theory the Iranian peoples should genetically be ralated to the Aryan peoples. But a research on over 2600 Iranian DNA-sequences (y-dna & mt-dna) shows something else. Dr. Bonab Ashrafian says: "There are many different languages, religions and tribes inside Iran. We have done studies on 26 different Iranian groups. Although we speak an Indo-European language we are not genetically very close to Indo-European peoples. The Aryan genetic markers that exist in central Asia and the Caucasus are found very few in the Iranian Plateau. This shows that if there is any Aryan genetic markers in the Iranian DNA, it probably came from the Aryan tribes that entered Iran." Dr. Ashrafian has also studied on the Ancient Iranian bones. The study on the ancient bones found in Jiroft and Masjid Kabood shows they are the ancestors of todays Iranians. If these studies show Iranians are not Aryans, then where did they come from? Has the Arabian invasion of Iran (1400 years ago) effected the Iranian DNA? Dr. Ashrafian continues as follows: "Our research shows that all Iranian tribes are genetically related to the people who lived in south-west of Iran 10.000 years ago. The Arabian invasion has effected south-west of Iran and Bushehr but in very very few amounts." This research shows also that all Iranian tribes are genetically relatives and related to each other, though they have different languages but we can't divide them into several races. ________________________________ Based on the data of the DNA genealogy, until the middle of the 1st millennium BC, two linguistic fields - the Türkic (Proto-Türkic) and Indo-European, the languages of the haplogroups R1b and R1a respectively, dominated in turns the whole Eurasia reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The two major Eurasian haplogroups, R1a and R1b, diverged (or rather, formed and diverged) 20-16 thousand years ago, evolved linguistically from the common Nostratic languages, respectively into the Pra-Aryan (later called "Proto-Indo-European") and the Proto-Türkic, and then into Türkic. And here the nature has played a cunning joke with the linguists. It seems that the two Caucasoid brotherly lines, R1a1 and R1b1, that came about 50-40 thousand years ago to the Eastern European Plain as a single branch of R (or, rather, as its upstream haplogroup P, or even NOP), and then went to the Southern Siberia at least 35,000 years ago and dispersed over time and over territories. One of them was a flexive Aryan language (language of the R1a1 tribe), which later became to be called Proto-Indo-European, and the other was an agglutinative Proto-Türkic language (language of the R1b1 tribe). Both tribes gestated in the Southern Siberia. The modern Uigurs, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, and some other peoples of Siberia, Central Asia, and the Urals, descend in part from the ancient R1b1 branch, and by now retain the same haplogroup for 16,000 years. These are the peoples of Siberia, Volga, Kama, Central Asia, the ancient Pit Grave or "Kurgan" archaeological cultures, and some Caucasian peoples that partially retained the haplogroup R1b1, which by the time of 6,000 years ago has become a haplogroup R1b1b2 (mutation M269 and L23 or L49), and the peoples of the Turkey and Middle East, whose population retained in their DNA many of the same haplogroup R1b1, see the table below (Abu-Amero et al, 2009). http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/580327_775096889170802_793067070_n.jpg Approximately 3,600 years ago that haplogroup is noted in the British Isles. This is the movement of Beaker culture - from the Iberian Peninsula in the British Isles and on the European continent. On the overall, the peopling of the Europe by the carriers of the haplogroup R1b1b2, who were speaking the ancient Türkic languages, occurred between 4,500 and 3,600 years ago. They are the ancestors of the Proto-Celtics and Proto-Italics, and, probably, Proto-Picts and other "Proto"-R1b1b2 peoples in Europe.

A common ancestor of all the reported Indian (Tamil) haplotypes and Bashkir and Kyrgyz haplotypes lived around 5000 ybp, which fits the timespan to R1a-L342.2 common ancestor.
