The Scythians were a multitude of horse-warrior nomad cultures dwelling in the Eurasian steppe during the first millennium BCE. Because of the lack of first-hand written records, little is known about the origins and relations among the different cultures. To address these questions, we produced genome-wide data for 111 ancient individuals retrieved from 39 archaeological sites from the first millennia BCE and CE across the Central Asian Steppe. We uncovered major admixture events in the Late Bronze Age forming the genetic substratum for two main Iron Age gene-pools emerging around the Altai and the Urals respectively. Their demise was mirrored by new genetic turnovers, linked to the spread of the eastern nomad empires in the first centuries CE. Compared to the high genetic heterogeneity of the past, the homogenization of the present-day Kazakhs gene pool is notable, likely a result of 400 years of strict exogamous social rules.Gnecchi-Ruscone et al. 2021, Ancient genomic time transect from the Central Asian Steppe unravels the history of the Scythians, Science Advances, Sci Adv 7 (13), eabe4414, DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abe4414 See also...

Get a life instead of probing my past comments and using them against me out of context. What you and many other nationalists all over the world cannot comprehend is that people can make arguments totally free from nationalist biases. When someone does exactly that and especially when those unbiased arguments happen to contradict with your biased nationalist views, in your mind you allocate such unbiased non-nationalist arguments to the nationalism that best suits your purpose. E.g., suppose there is a nationalist person from nation x and he finds the unbiased arguments of a person from nation y inconvenient for his x nationalism, too often than not the response of the nationalist person from nation x will be allocating the inconvenient but unbiased arguments of the person from nation y to y nationalism.
