Genetic affinity of Iranians
Lifeandme published a post on its page that shows the genetic correlation of Iranians. The post includes an excerpt from the results of the scientists' research, which is also accompanied by an article.
We have been witnessing nationwide protests across Iran for about 3 months now, and we have also witnessed a great deal of unity and solidarity among Iranians, regardless of ethnicity. A unity and solidarity that until now everyone thought did not exist and thought that the Iranian people were separatists, but today this unity and solidarity has astonished the entire world.
The aforementioned research is as follows:
According to the latest research results of a joint project between scientists from universities in Germany, Iran and Australia, from a biological perspective, all Iranian ethnic groups have very similar genetic roots, despite differences in language, religion and culture. The article, published in the prestigious journal PLOS Genetics, states: Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Lors, Turks, Persians, etc. all had common ancestors in the present-day land of Iran and over time, they have either borrowed or invented different languages and cultures. The more interesting point is that due to the high genetic intermixture and very close genetic roots, Iranian ethnic groups cannot be considered separate from each other. Perhaps these days, more than ever, we understand the meaning of this research. Perhaps we can find the reason for this beautiful solidarity and closeness of our hearts in our genetic codes.
We are people who may be hundreds of kilometers apart, but we feel so close to each other that it's as if we are part of a family and constant partners in each other's sorrows and joys. Yes! One family, an Iranian family.
We respect the different ethnicities of our land and are proud of the unity, integrity, and empathy among us.
