This has been a fairly good week for tribal sequencing among Iranian groups of the Zagros! We are proud to present the lineage of the Harki Chiefs from Pirmam, Kurdistan Regional Government. The tested individual is a direct patriline descendant of Fattah Agha Herki.

New Bakhtiari yDNA result acquired via the Iranic Genomes Project as a result of full sequencing of the Y Chromosome. The result is: J2a-M47 -> BY144360 The individual's DNA however is still in processing so these are only preliminary results.

For further reading on how and why the distribution of M47 on YFULL can be misleading, and why its distribution reflects a Southern Iranian one.

@TORUKMAKTO_1 @YavuzSelim23_1 It is seriously advisable for you to learn the basics of statistics before discussing popgen. This also is not a rebuttal against the fact that the majority of the "Arabs" you're talking about aren't actually even Arab by any traditional/tribal metric.

@TORUKMAKTO_1 I don't think you understand what sampling bias is. Again, if a population is not sampled enough compared to another, you can't compare them. That one Iranian sample on that branch has 100s of times the statistical weight of any of those Kuwaiti or Qatari samples.

Interestingly, the Banu Harb were not specified as Ajam. Rather, these graphics show other clans such as Hammadi that actively are. This sort of nitpicking defeats the purpose of honest discussion.

@TORUKMAKTO_1 @YavuzSelim23_1 I have repeatedly demonstrated that the individuals you use to prove the "Arabness" of this clade are not even Arab. You have never managed once to provide a valid counter that stands on its own axioms. Your opinions on this matter lack any basis in statistical understanding too.

@YavuzSelim23_1 @vooxfrar @TORUKMAKTO_1 Idk what the relevance of Seyyeds are, but based on the academic data, ~85% of "Seyyeds" in Iran are not even J1 (forget the Quraysh L859 clade). Iran is accordingly also the country with the highest number of false Seyyed claimants in the world per square km.

@vooxfrar @TORUKMAKTO_1 @YavuzSelim23_1 1. Appeal to authority + doesn't actually counter the (perfectly valid) point about statistical biases 2. It's a flawed one, because those clades were being attributed (incorrectly) to Arabs 3. No demonstrable relevance.

It appears an error has been made. The correct tribal structure is: Bakhtiari -> Chaharlang -> Meyvand -> Fouladvand -> Khan Qa'edi While Khanjamali is a branch of the Qa'ed line of the Fouladvands, it is not the branch that this individual belongs to.

@Ashurbanip4574 @YavuzSelim23_1 I have already answered this elsewhere. Not going to bother doing this again. What you have posted is an MDS plot of a small number of ySNPs, and if anything it shows Syrians closer to an Iranian cluster than it does show Bakhtiaris closer to Syrians.

@vooxfrar @YavuzSelim23_1 @TORUKMAKTO_1 Utilising the same substantial academic papers, under 5% of Iranians are under J1-P58, and most of them are not under Banu Quraysh L859 based on what little we see of Iranians under J1 in FTDNA and YFULL collections. 8% claim to be Seyyed in Iran. This stands as sufficient

@Factonlym35 @YavuzSelim23_1 @vooxfrar @TORUKMAKTO_1 I think this is an unfair analysis given that there are many large Arab tribes in Ahwaz such as Banu K'ab who have a very old presence in Ahwaz stretching back to the Early Islamic Period. It's more proper to refer to them as quite "mixed" rather than "not Arab" in my opinion.
