Hasanlu IA Lovers, Hajj Firuz N and BA, and IRN85 modern Kurd 23andme format

Meet Kevin. He lived on the territory of modern Kurdistan in the neolithic period. If we break down his ancestry into Mesolithic components, around 45 percent of his ancestry derives from the zagrosian farmers, 42 derives from the Anatolian neolithic farmers, 10 percent of his ancestry derives from the neolithic Levant, and he also has trace ancestry from the european hunter gatherers.

Now meet David and Sophie. They lived on the territory of modern Kurdistan in the Bronze age. Their genetics differ from the Neolithic inhabitants of Zagros. The share of Zagrosian ancestry is decreased, while the share of Levantine and European ancestry rises greatly. A very significant admixture event happened just before the Bronze age. Bronze aged Zagrosians can be modeled as a mixture of Neolithic Zagrosians with extra Yamnaya admixture and extra Levantine admixture.

Due to their heavy Natufian admixture, bronze age zagrosians cluster with Jews and Assyrians.

Now meet Andrew and Garfield. They are iron age zagrosians.

Their genetics differ greatly from the bronze age inhabitants of Zagros. Relative to bronze age zagrosians, their zagrosian neolithic ancestry is higher, and their european ancestry is higher. Genetically, they can be modeled as a mixture of bronze age zagrosians with additional Iranic contribution from the Yaz culture and helmand culture admixture from western pakistan. Iron age zagrosians resemble modern Kurds.

Meet Fatima. She is a modern Kurd. She can be modeled as a mixture of Iron age zagrosians with umayyad arabs. According to illustrativeDNA, she clusters with turkish kurds.
