In this video, we dive deep into the genomic landscape of Southeast Dagestan, analyzing 48 samples from five indigenous ethnic groups: Lezgins, Tabasarans, Laks, Kaitags, and Dargins. Using advanced tools like qpAdm and f-statistics, we trace their ancestry from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age and explore the unique genetic markers that distinguish mountain Dagestanis from their neighbors.

What we cover in this study:

Ancient Admixture: How Anatolian Farmers, Caucasus Hunter-Gatherers, and Eastern Hunter-Gatherers (EHG) shaped the Dagestani genome.

The Indo-European Connection: The impact of the Catacomb culture and the presence of R1a/R1b lineages alongside the dominant J1 haplogroup.

Phenotype Predictions: A breakdown of predicted eye color, hair texture, nose shape, and physical types (Taurid, East Alpinid, and more).

Health & Polygenic Risk: Analyzing predispositions for conditions like Polycythemia Vera, Autism, and Type 2 Diabetes, as well as their unique protection against Schizophrenia.

Comparative Analysis: See how Dagestanis cluster with Chechens, Iranians, and Europeans in terms of genetic distance.
