Both Scottish and Scythian DNA corresponds with: R1b Y-DNA Haplogroups H, U and T Autosomal genes rs4988235, rs1426654, HMGA2 and EFEMP1, for lactase production, lighter skin, and taller stature respectively. Which is specifically Northwestern European DNA, so yes, the Scots are definitely related to the Scythians🏹.
@@sperlongatours That's one genetic marker, we're talking about genetic profiles. Can you unlock a safe with one number in the combination, or do you need all of them?
all Y R1b DNA carriers descend from the Yamnayas established in the Pontic steppes at the end of the Neolithic. So yes there is definitely a very old link. Some of west scythian are R1b, but mainly R1a. There is also a significant presence of R1BbM88 around Lake Tchad in sub-Saharan Africa. They descend from populations that crossed north africa when Sahara was a savannah 6 or 7000 years ago.
Reading the Mummies of Urumchi points out that they also made tartan plaid materials. One mummy has a conical shaped hat, like a witch or warlock would have. The theory of a central Asian origin sounds quite plausible. Hello from a Silesian Texan with blue gray eyes and reddish hair.

I’m 6ft 3inch tall, have blue eyes, red hair, and I’m originally from the Scottish Highlands. My name is also ‘Willie’. I think I fit every ‘Teuchter’ stereotype… even the squirrels and cows up there are ginger 😂
I’m Australian redhead and blue eyes with British heritage. Mum was from Warwickshire and Dad from Leicestershire, real Danelaw country. I’ve always thought it was from the Norse invasion mixing with locals. Fun fact, as I’ve aged my hair had become blonder. Now 60 the grey adds a nice highlight.
My haircolor changed many times from nature .first blond with a bit red then a bit darker red then brunette and finally light brown with blond and red parts in autumn a bit more red then in spring.I have blue grey eyes what nobody of my ancestors had as far as i know.I have from mothers side haplogroup H what is in todays world mostly in India, Pakistan and south siberia but not in europe.Great video thanks.
My dad was red-headed, blue-eyed, about half Scot, about half Irish. We used to say he looked like a viking leprechaun. Very likely the Scot half was largely Pictish, being from Aberdeenshire, and having a particular genetic signature. The Scythians were well known for having lots of tattoos, as were it seems the Picts. I remember seeing a picture of a certain red-haired, bearded Georgian (Caucases) militant who looked a lot like my dad. Could have been his brother.
I’m Portuguese and my whole family is too. I have dark hair now but as a child it was a reddish - blonde colour that gradually went darker. My older sister had much lighter hair than I do. She was fully ginger. Now her hair is a medium brown colour.
If you: Have R1b Y-DNA Are part of Haplogroups H, U and T And have the autosomal genes rs4988235, rs1426654, HMGA2 and EFEMP1, for lactase production, lighter skin, and taller stature respectively. Then you are European.
There certainly could be a connection between the Celts and certain parts of Asia. The sons of Miletus are said to have come from some far part in the East before they set foot in Spain, plus you have the Celts living in Turkey for a long span of time after their invasion of the area (Galatia, as found in the Bible). Great channel my friend.
I myself have auburn brown wavy hair, hazel brown eyes, orange beard & freckles. My DNA test say I’m 33% Norwegian, 25% German, 17% Danish, 17% English, 5% Irish, 2% Scottish, 1% welsh. The origin of the red gene is interesting for sure.
Fascinating genetics and history. At 57 my hair is still holding its red color, and eyes, of course, as blue as ever. I suspect it primarily came through my grandfather, who immigrated from Denmark.
How is it that no one is commenting on your awesome accent. I think your diction is perfect. It sounds nearly like an LLM created voice if I didn’t see that there’s a human there.
Tacitus describes the Germans as being blue eyed with reddish blonde hair and large bodies, Ceaser : the red hair and large limbs of the inhabitants of california proclaim their germanic origin
Not just red hair and blue eyes, I have curly hair and beard and red skin too. The number of people in the world that look like me would maybe fill a city. It would be one hell of a party though. My ancestry is every country that borders on the North Sea plus Ireland. My Y chromosome can be traced back around 5,000 years ago to an area northwest of Paris.
Thanks a lot for this very interesting video! I'm French myself but my grandparents were all four born in Andalusia, in the south of Spain. Now, if my maternal grandmother was not a redhead, she was nevertheless covered in freckles from head to toe. Oddly enough, in each generation, there is always a girl (never a boy!) who's born a redhead with light eyes on that side of the family, while statistics predict that less than 1% of Spaniards are redheads! As for me, when I was young I was light brown-haired and I had a few red hairs in my beard when I happened to let it grow (in my profile picture I have my hair dyed black because it dates from the time when I was an emo ^^). Now I have gray hair and an entirely white beard. I also get freckles on my nose and cheeks, but only during the first two weeks of spring, when the sun starts to hit a bit hard (I live in the south of France). After these two weeks, I start to tan and my freckles disappear until the following spring.
Is it possible that red-haired, blue-eyed people from the Balkans or Central Asia settled about the North Sea. Since those are recessive genes, they may be more predominant in such an area which is not interbreeding with other genotypes as much as, say, Central Asia which is constantly subject to interbreeding on all sides.
When I was 2 1/2 years old, I had light red hair with blue eyes. When I was 4, my hair turned light blond hair with the same blue eyes. My mother - dark blonde/green eyes, my father medium blond/blue eyes. The red hair comes from 2 close family members on my mother's side of the family. My facial hair is blond and black, body hair is black. My mother's father is mostly Cherokee Indian. Us Americans are mutts, in a good way lol
We in Ireland think we're special in this respect and maybe Scotland even more so! However, red hair is prevalent in the middle East to an extent and Russia etc.. what I think is fairly unique is Black hair and Blue eyes..
FYI, Redhair prevalence in the Middle East is due to the fact of centuries of razzias by the Ottoman Turks all over Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Russia to capture CHRISTIAN SLAVES. All the men were castrated (90% death rate) and all the women were used as sex slaves. Even your people in Ireland got razzied and enslaved by the Berber Pyrates, sometimes full villages. Razzias were made to places as far from Northern Africa as Iceland and Norway. So, of course that 1,100 years (700-1830 AD) of a constant influx of Christian slave women made to be sexually humiliated by their fanatical Muslim captors would produce a mestizo offspring, part of which would carry the red hair genes. Fairly unique, because much rarer still, is red hair + green eyes: green eyes is 1% of the world population, much less common than blue eyes. Because of genetic lottery, that may happen to anyone, anywhere, there's a tribe in Africa where they have striking cobalt blue eyes. There's another tribe in the Pacific where they've developed blonde hair.
People have a hard time with things that don't fit neatly in a box, which is just about everything. We're all mixed up, people have been moving around, displacing, mixing, borrowing ideas, etc. from the "beginning of time".
My daughter unexpectedly had red hair. After she was born my FIL told us that her paternal grandmother had auburn hair that she dyed blond and my mother told me my great-grandmother on her side gad red hair. Both her father and I have blue eyes so that wasn't as much a shock. I find it very interesting that she benefited from two genetic mutations. Our family has a history of coming from Ireland and Scotland and I feel that explains her beautiful coloring. I had no idea that the apparent origins of ginger hair and blue eyes is the Asian steppe.
Living in the northern lattitudes doesn't explain why Europeans developed light skin and blue eyes. Why didn't the Inuit (Eskimos) develop light skin and blue eyes?
The Volga Tatars are the reddest people in the world, along with the Scots, but the Tatars, unlike other Europeans, have large amounts of DNA associated with Siberia and Central Asia. I myself have done an analysis of their genome and it is quite exotic compared to the typical European.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d So there must be another explanation for light skin and blue eyes, not living in the northern lattitudes. Because then the Inuit (Eskimos) would have also developed light skin and blue eyes.
@@jerzypawlowski7999Inuit have genes associated with light skin, MC1R, KITG, MFSD12. But they are not positively selected. The MFSD12 genes are unique to Siberian and Native American populations, the East Asian-exclusive versions of MC1R and KITG cause light skin, and the SLC24A5 and SLC24A2 genes cause light skin in Europeans and Middle Eastern populations. Given these distributions, we can assume that light skin evolved independently in different parts of the world, but it is also evident that there was mixing, creating a gradient in populations that can be seen with the naked eye.
@@jerzypawlowski7999The two main genes for blue eyes are OCA2 and Herc2, with OCA2 being the most important. The Herc2 variant that causes blue eyes is almost exclusively found in Europe, but the OCA2 gene that greatly influences pigmentation is widespread in Middle Eastern, South Asian and Native American populations, but the OCA2 variant does not exist in East Asians.
Udmurt have geneic marker of Yamanya, which udmurt r1b is even closer to basal yamanay than bell beaker r1b one coudl say they are direct ydna descdetn of yamnaya, and 5-% yamanya do show red hair and volgid udmurt liek phenotype.
@@celtichistorydecoded For me, as a red-haired Tatar (Kipchak people) from the Volga region (real name Atil or Raha), the fact that we got red hair from the Slavs sounds not just like an insult, but like absolute nonsense. The Slavs do not have the large percentage of red-haired people that representatives of the Volga region have. At the same time, ethnic Russians or other Slavs are not autochthonous inhabitants of the Volga region. They migrated there in the 16th to 20th centuries. In the territory of ethnic Russians, red-haired people are a rarity.
@@flightographist I don't think so, I'm meaning auburn in like the copperish colour range sort of thing. Must be a much higher percentage of the population than is stated in the video if that's the same gene, although I understand it was more meaning the straight reddish range colours.
Esau was Red hair and he went to tarshish"spain after north west africa before moving to middle east with the idumean kingdom Just after they left mount seir in 432bc, mount seir being redcliff réserve in America. Anasazi indians are known to be Esau indians , Red dark people living by the cliffs, see the book of obadiah
Genetic mutations through genetic lottery. NOTHING to do with living in any "special" area, or any "special" diet, or any other "special" physical attribute. Just genetic lottery. Always remember: genetic lottery has NO explanations. It just happens, end of the story. There's a tribe in Africa where they have striking cobal blue eyes. Another tribe in the Pacific have blond hair. Another tribe in Pakistan look 100% ethnic Europeans and have ZERO European DNA.
I had blonde hair as a child but as an adult its dark brown to blonde tinged depending on the season and sun exposure, i have green eyes, my 5 sons have dark brown hair/blue eyes, light brown/green eyes, red hair/blue eyes, blonde hair/blue eyes, and brown hair/blue eyes, my mrs has light brown, blue eyes. My dna test said mostly scottish/irish/english with a bit of Finnish amd unfortunately someone jumped the fence a while back and i have a little meso-american as well.
I want to see the stats on the propensity of the curtains matching the drapes. Side note, I've read where blue eyes are actually better at seeing in the dark. This means it came from up north.
I don't know about that but I can't see anything when the sun is low in front of me. It doesn't seem to be all people with blue eyes though. It was probably okay where the skies were misty all the time but I live in the desert and try to avoid driving off into the sunset.
My daughter and I both have red hair and blue eyes-- as far as I know, we are primarily German descent ( Americans) with little bits of French and English but never had any genetic testing so who knows...
I was also blonde when I was a baby and under 10 years old, then I had brown hair when I was a teenager, then I had brunette hair, but my eyes are light brown, I think this change and evolution is interesting, I think it is the effect and result of Turkey, Anatolia, Istanbul, Thrace and its surroundings, and the climate and genetics of the southern hemisphere of the Earth, and here I have more than one friend and more people in the same story, this is a fact. Ben de bebekken ve 10 yaş altı çocuklukta sarışınken sonra ergenken kumral sonrada esmer saçlı oldum ama gözler açık kahve, bu değişim evrişim ilginç sanırım Türkiye Anadolu İstanbul Trakya ve çevresi ve Dünya'nın güney yarım küre iklimi ve genetiğinin etkisi ve sonucu diye düşünüyorum ve burada aynı öyküde birden fazla arkadaşım ve daha da insan var , bu bi gerçek
Also, let's not forget that Ottoman Turks were constantly pillaging Christian European countries in the Balkans and Eastern Europe up to Russia and bringing in every year tens of thousands of Christian captives to be sold and used as slaves. All the Christian men were savagely castrated (90% death rate) and all the Christian women were brutally used as sex slaves. This inevitably produced a mestizo offspring with a fair share of European genes. Modern Turks made it a point of "honor" (wtf??) to rape Christian Armenians and Greeks in the years before, during, and after World War 1. Those are two very well-documented history facts.
I have red hair and blue eyes. Though in my late 50's it is far less bright red than it used to be. From the US - I'm mostly of German decent (almost entirely on my red-headed mother's side), with a fair amount of British (south England / Wales) mixed in. Also a bit of Italian, but I'm not sure how much that figures in here.
Thanks, for video. I've always wondered if the genetic variation may have occurred independently in different populations. Similar to convergent evolution.
Yes, indeed: there's a tribe in Africa with striking cobalt blue eyes, another one in the Pacific with very blonde hair, and another in Pakistan who look like ethnic Europeans despite their having ZERO European DNA. that's genetic lottery in action, happening anywhere at anytime for NO reason.
Hello, congratulations, excellent channel, I love it. 🙂 However, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, there is a mistake there, there is no evidence that red hair originated in Central Asia. According to the most recent genetic research, the red-haired, green-eyed Tarim mummies originate from the Andronovo culture, which in turn originated in Europe (Corded Ware Culture). So, maybe it was in Europe (northern Europe) that red hair appeared. quoting the 2022 research "Bronze and Iron Age population movements underlie Xinjiang population history" by Vikas Kumar et al: "To study the possible phenotypic effects of these ancestry shifts, we investigated predicted eye, hair, and skin pigmentation using the HIrisPlex-S system (36) on the higher-coverage individuals (n = 38 to 64; table S15) spanning all time periods. We observed the appearance of lighter hair color and skin tone in north and west Xinjiang beginning in the LBA and continuing into the IA. Blue eye alleles also appeared in these regions at least during the IA, with one to two early IA samples having blue eyes in the Yili region (figs. S29 to S31 and table S15). Light eye and hair pigmentation has previously been identified in people associated with the Steppe_MLBA Andronovo culture (37), with which several of these individuals are associated." Don't take it seriously everything on Wikipedia, because has a lot of incorrect things there. Anyway, keep doing this great work. I subscribed to the channel 🥰
Thanks for this! As intriguing as the Scythian hypotheses is, there's never been material or DNA evidence to support the legend. Far more likely that it came through Scandinavia. Fairer skin and blue/grey eyes are great traits for dark, northern forests; and the greater capacity to retain Vitamin D on the part of red-haired people is part of that.
The oldest humans recorded to have red hair are the EHG or Eastern Hunter Gatherers, who lived in Eastern Europe in the Mesolithic (10 thousand years ago), and the Tarim mummies (Central Asia), although the Tarim mummies are more recent in age, their autosomal DNA is 80% ANE, indicating that they are an ancestral population that survived until relatively modern times. The ANE lived in central Siberia 20 thousand years ago, although no ANE have been found to have red hair. Modern Europeans have between 9% to 25% ANE DNA, Southern Europeans 9% and Northern Europeans up to 25%.

Both Scottish and Scythian DNA corresponds with:
R1b Y-DNA
Haplogroups H, U and T
Autosomal genes rs4988235, rs1426654, HMGA2 and EFEMP1, for lactase production, lighter skin, and taller stature respectively.
Which is specifically Northwestern European DNA, so yes, the Scots are definitely related to the Scythians🏹.
@@sperlongatours That's one genetic marker, we're talking about genetic profiles. Can you unlock a safe with one number in the combination, or do you need all of them?
all Y R1b DNA carriers descend from the Yamnayas established in the Pontic steppes at the end of the Neolithic. So yes there is definitely a very old link. Some of west scythian are R1b, but mainly R1a. There is also a significant presence of R1BbM88 around Lake Tchad in sub-Saharan Africa. They descend from populations that crossed north africa when Sahara was a savannah 6 or 7000 years ago.
Fascinating. Thank you.

There are also red hair with green eyes.
There's a fine line between green and blue eyes. Mine are a mosaic of both so whatever color I wear effects the color my eyes appear.
Also red hair and grey eyes or red hair and hazel eyes. Also black hair and hazel eyes, blond hair and grey eyes and dark brown hair and light blue eyes. In people of Cornish (which is Celtic) and English descent.

I’m Australian redhead and blue eyes with British heritage. Mum was from Warwickshire and Dad from Leicestershire, real Danelaw country. I’ve always thought it was from the Norse invasion mixing with locals. Fun fact, as I’ve aged my hair had become blonder. Now 60 the grey adds a nice highlight.
My haircolor changed many times from nature .first blond with a bit red then a bit darker red then brunette and finally light brown with blond and red parts in autumn a bit more red then in spring.I have blue grey eyes what nobody of my ancestors had as far as i know.I have from mothers side haplogroup H what is in todays world mostly in India, Pakistan and south siberia but not in europe.Great video thanks.
About 40 % of Europeans are H mitochondrial DNA from everything that I've read.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
My dad was red-headed, blue-eyed, about half Scot, about half Irish. We used to say he looked like a viking leprechaun. Very likely the Scot half was largely Pictish, being from Aberdeenshire, and having a particular genetic signature. The Scythians were well known for having lots of tattoos, as were it seems the Picts. I remember seeing a picture of a certain red-haired, bearded Georgian (Caucases) militant who looked a lot like my dad. Could have been his brother.

There certainly could be a connection between the Celts and certain parts of Asia. The sons of Miletus are said to have come from some far part in the East before they set foot in Spain, plus you have the Celts living in Turkey for a long span of time after their invasion of the area (Galatia, as found in the Bible).
Great channel my friend.
I myself have auburn brown wavy hair, hazel brown eyes, orange beard & freckles. My DNA test say I’m 33% Norwegian, 25% German, 17% Danish, 17% English, 5% Irish, 2% Scottish, 1% welsh. The origin of the red gene is interesting for sure.
I am blonde and blue-eyed, my father has red hair and hazel eyes and my son has red hair and blue eyes. Both my father's parents had black hair.
Fascinating genetics and history. At 57 my hair is still holding its red color, and eyes, of course, as blue as ever. I suspect it primarily came through my grandfather, who immigrated from Denmark.

Not just red hair and blue eyes, I have curly hair and beard and red skin too. The number of people in the world that look like me would maybe fill a city. It would be one hell of a party though. My ancestry is every country that borders on the North Sea plus Ireland. My Y chromosome can be traced back around 5,000 years ago to an area northwest of Paris.
Thanks a lot for this very interesting video!
I'm French myself but my grandparents were all four born in Andalusia, in the south of Spain. Now, if my maternal grandmother was not a redhead, she was nevertheless covered in freckles from head to toe. Oddly enough, in each generation, there is always a girl (never a boy!) who's born a redhead with light eyes on that side of the family, while statistics predict that less than 1% of Spaniards are redheads!
As for me, when I was young I was light brown-haired and I had a few red hairs in my beard when I happened to let it grow (in my profile picture I have my hair dyed black because it dates from the time when I was an emo ^^). Now I have gray hair and an entirely white beard. I also get freckles on my nose and cheeks, but only during the first two weeks of spring, when the sun starts to hit a bit hard (I live in the south of France). After these two weeks, I start to tan and my freckles disappear until the following spring.
Is it possible that red-haired, blue-eyed people from the Balkans or Central Asia settled about the North Sea. Since those are recessive genes, they may be more predominant in such an area which is not interbreeding with other genotypes as much as, say, Central Asia which is constantly subject to interbreeding on all sides.
When I was 2 1/2 years old, I had light red hair with blue eyes. When I was 4, my hair turned light blond hair with the same blue eyes. My mother - dark blonde/green eyes, my father medium blond/blue eyes. The red hair comes from 2 close family members on my mother's side of the family. My facial hair is blond and black, body hair is black. My mother's father is mostly Cherokee Indian. Us Americans are mutts, in a good way lol
I have light brown, sandy blonde hair, and an odd combination of a red beard and pubes with blue eyes. I wonder how common that is?
We in Ireland think we're special in this respect and maybe Scotland even more so! However, red hair is prevalent in the middle East to an extent and Russia etc.. what I think is fairly unique is Black hair and Blue eyes..
FYI, Redhair prevalence in the Middle East is due to the fact of centuries of razzias by the Ottoman Turks all over Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Russia to capture CHRISTIAN SLAVES. All the men were castrated (90% death rate) and all the women were used as sex slaves. Even your people in Ireland got razzied and enslaved by the Berber Pyrates, sometimes full villages. Razzias were made to places as far from Northern Africa as Iceland and Norway. So, of course that 1,100 years (700-1830 AD) of a constant influx of Christian slave women made to be sexually humiliated by their fanatical Muslim captors would produce a mestizo offspring, part of which would carry the red hair genes.
Fairly unique, because much rarer still, is red hair + green eyes: green eyes is 1% of the world population, much less common than blue eyes. Because of genetic lottery, that may happen to anyone, anywhere, there's a tribe in Africa where they have striking cobalt blue eyes. There's another tribe in the Pacific where they've developed blonde hair.
Both fraternal sister and I are redheads, as well as youngest sister. Other siblings blond, brown, black...both parents black.
To me, the weirdest thing is that Rameses II, pharoah of the New Kingdom in the 2nd millenium BC, was a redhead. They found his mummy.
It's not weird at all. We see the same pattern all over the world, especially in The Northern Hemisphere.

CopperCab sent me here
My daughter unexpectedly had red hair. After she was born my FIL told us that her paternal grandmother had auburn hair that she dyed blond and my mother told me my great-grandmother on her side gad red hair. Both her father and I have blue eyes so that wasn't as much a shock. I find it very interesting that she benefited from two genetic mutations. Our family has a history of coming from Ireland and Scotland and I feel that explains her beautiful coloring. I had no idea that the apparent origins of ginger hair and blue eyes is the Asian steppe.
Living in the northern lattitudes doesn't explain why Europeans developed light skin and blue eyes. Why didn't the Inuit (Eskimos) develop light skin and blue eyes?
Many Siberians have light skin and even some red hair, such as the Komi, Mari and Khanty.
The Volga Tatars are the reddest people in the world, along with the Scots, but the Tatars, unlike other Europeans, have large amounts of DNA associated with Siberia and Central Asia. I myself have done an analysis of their genome and it is quite exotic compared to the typical European.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d
So there must be another explanation for light skin and blue eyes, not living in the northern lattitudes. Because then the Inuit (Eskimos) would have also developed light skin and blue eyes.
@@jerzypawlowski7999Inuit have genes associated with light skin, MC1R, KITG, MFSD12. But they are not positively selected. The MFSD12 genes are unique to Siberian and Native American populations, the East Asian-exclusive versions of MC1R and KITG cause light skin, and the SLC24A5 and SLC24A2 genes cause light skin in Europeans and Middle Eastern populations. Given these distributions, we can assume that light skin evolved independently in different parts of the world, but it is also evident that there was mixing, creating a gradient in populations that can be seen with the naked eye.
@@jerzypawlowski7999The two main genes for blue eyes are OCA2 and Herc2, with OCA2 being the most important. The Herc2 variant that causes blue eyes is almost exclusively found in Europe, but the OCA2 gene that greatly influences pigmentation is widespread in Middle Eastern, South Asian and Native American populations, but the OCA2 variant does not exist in East Asians.

@@celtichistorydecoded For me, as a red-haired Tatar (Kipchak people) from the Volga region (real name Atil or Raha), the fact that we got red hair from the Slavs sounds not just like an insult, but like absolute nonsense. The Slavs do not have the large percentage of red-haired people that representatives of the Volga region have. At the same time, ethnic Russians or other Slavs are not autochthonous inhabitants of the Volga region. They migrated there in the 16th to 20th centuries. In the territory of ethnic Russians, red-haired people are a rarity.

Genetic mutations through genetic lottery. NOTHING to do with living in any "special" area, or any "special" diet, or any other "special" physical attribute. Just genetic lottery. Always remember: genetic lottery has NO explanations. It just happens, end of the story. There's a tribe in Africa where they have striking cobal blue eyes. Another tribe in the Pacific have blond hair. Another tribe in Pakistan look 100% ethnic Europeans and have ZERO European DNA.

My daughter and I both have red hair and blue eyes-- as far as I know, we are primarily German descent ( Americans) with little bits of French and English but never had any genetic testing so who knows...
Well of Celtic ancestry and bald with gray reddish beard, blue eyes (sometimes green)
I was also blonde when I was a baby and under 10 years old, then I had brown hair when I was a teenager, then I had brunette hair, but my eyes are light brown, I think this change and evolution is interesting, I think it is the effect and result of Turkey, Anatolia, Istanbul, Thrace and its surroundings, and the climate and genetics of the southern hemisphere of the Earth, and here I have more than one friend and more people in the same story, this is a fact.

Also, let's not forget that Ottoman Turks were constantly pillaging Christian European countries in the Balkans and Eastern Europe up to Russia and bringing in every year tens of thousands of Christian captives to be sold and used as slaves. All the Christian men were savagely castrated (90% death rate) and all the Christian women were brutally used as sex slaves. This inevitably produced a mestizo offspring with a fair share of European genes. Modern Turks made it a point of "honor" (wtf??) to rape Christian Armenians and Greeks in the years before, during, and after World War 1. Those are two very well-documented history facts.
Its beautiful and people wanted to make more, so we did. Its not complicated.

Yes, indeed: there's a tribe in Africa with striking cobalt blue eyes, another one in the Pacific with very blonde hair, and another in Pakistan who look like ethnic Europeans despite their having ZERO European DNA. that's genetic lottery in action, happening anywhere at anytime for NO reason.
Hello, congratulations, excellent channel, I love it. 🙂
However, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, there is a mistake there, there is no evidence that red hair originated in Central Asia. According to the most recent genetic research, the red-haired, green-eyed Tarim mummies originate from the Andronovo culture, which in turn originated in Europe (Corded Ware Culture).
So, maybe it was in Europe (northern Europe) that red hair appeared.
quoting the 2022 research "Bronze and Iron Age population movements underlie Xinjiang population history" by Vikas Kumar et al:
"To study the possible phenotypic effects of
these ancestry shifts, we investigated predicted
eye, hair, and skin pigmentation using the
HIrisPlex-S system (36) on the higher-coverage
individuals (n = 38 to 64; table S15) spanning
all time periods. We observed the appearance
of lighter hair color and skin tone in north and
west Xinjiang beginning in the LBA and continuing
into the IA. Blue eye alleles also appeared
in these regions at least during the IA,
with one to two early IA samples having blue
eyes in the Yili region (figs. S29 to S31 and table
S15). Light eye and hair pigmentation has previously
been identified in people associated
with the Steppe_MLBA Andronovo culture
(37), with which several of these individuals
are associated."
Don't take it seriously everything on Wikipedia, because has a lot of incorrect things there.
Anyway, keep doing this great work. I subscribed to the channel 🥰
Did you enhance the color, or did she eat spice (Dune) ?
Thanks for this! As intriguing as the Scythian hypotheses is, there's never been material or DNA evidence to support the legend. Far more likely that it came through Scandinavia. Fairer skin and blue/grey eyes are great traits for dark, northern forests; and the greater capacity to retain Vitamin D on the part of red-haired people is part of that.
The oldest humans recorded to have red hair are the EHG or Eastern Hunter Gatherers, who lived in Eastern Europe in the Mesolithic (10 thousand years ago), and the Tarim mummies (Central Asia), although the Tarim mummies are more recent in age, their autosomal DNA is 80% ANE, indicating that they are an ancestral population that survived until relatively modern times. The ANE lived in central Siberia 20 thousand years ago, although no ANE have been found to have red hair. Modern Europeans have between 9% to 25% ANE DNA, Southern Europeans 9% and Northern Europeans up to 25%.
