Hajj Firuz BA (I4243) in 23andme format
In this video, we explore the genetics of Leyla, a bronze age woman from Hajj Firuz Tepe in Western Iran. She is significant because of the prevalence of Yamnaya ancestry in her genome, at such an early point in history before the major Indo-European migrations into western Asia. What do you think could explain her presence in Iran? Could she be a lost traveler from the Steppes of southern Russia, or a member of an extinct tribe of early Indo-Europeans in Western Iran?
