[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] Anyway, here's something from the article that can be misleading. [i] However, they did move east, as the study shows. The research team found that the Iranian genomes represent the main ancestors of modern-day South Asians. Whilst sharing many segments of their genome with Afghani and Pakistani populations, [b]the almost 10,000 year old genomes from the Iranian Zagros mountains were found to be most similar to modern-day Zoroastrians from Iran. “This religious group probably mixed less with later waves of people than others in the region and therefore preserved more of that ancient ancestry,”[/b] said Broushaki.[/i] Although the above statement is accurate, the problem however comes from the fact that Indo-Iranian speakers did not enter the region of modern Iran until 5 or 6 thousand years ago-- about half as young as the Neolithic genes, therefore to identify Neolithic Iranians with Bronze Age Iranians much less the Zoroastrian religion of Iron Age Iranians makes no sense.
