*Let's clarify a few things that keep coming up:* 1) For those who ask about why we assumed Arab DNA. There is no reason other than the fact that we had both been told our whole lives that we are "Seyed". I don't consider it to be a part of my identity and I always felt like it was made up, but it is a part of my full legal name and hence why it was one of the predictions. Even before taking this test, we had removed the Seyed title for our daughter and do not plan on using it for any of our future children. 2) For those who don't know what "Seyed" means. It is basically a title passed on generation after generation, and it signifies being a descendant of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. 3) For those who ask why I do not see it as part of my identity or why I removed it. Because although I come from a Muslim family, I do not consider myself Muslim and have not considered myself Muslim for a long time. This is why I do not consider being "Seyed" to be a part of my identity. It has no value to me. 4) For those who use this opportunity to judge or preach. I don't believe in any religion, and this is the result of many years of research, including a phase in life where I was religious. I am incredibly happy as a non-believer, so please stop judging and preaching! As I have mentioned in other videos, I respect everyone to believe what they want as long as they can do the same for me. In fact, many of my friends who have participated in videos on this channel are Muslim or Christian, some are religious as well. I don't judge them and they don't judge me. I really don't care what others believe. 5) Our culture and identity isn't defined by race or ethnicity. This test was just interesting for us. We know what our culture is. Even if my results showed 0% Iranian, my culture and identity would remain the same. 6) I realize that these results are geographical, so for example, Turkey doesn't necessarily mean "Turkish". When we made this video, we just opened and read what was sent to us. This video is different from most of the other videos on this channel but it had be requested several times.

That's awesome guys!! I'm Iraqi and we always were told we are just Arab but my DNA showed over 70% Persian, rest was Greek, Mizrahi Jewish and just 4% Arab. Probably why I feel so close to Persian culture!!

Hello everyone Video was great..I am a Tajik🇭🇺 from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿.. I am 92% Iranian🇮🇷, 6% German🇩🇪 and the remaining 2% Spanish🇪🇸. Thanks for your good video🙏❤

İ am Azerbaijani and İ live in Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 Persian 65 % Turk/Central Asia 30 % Kürdish 5 %

I am an Iranian from Tabriz city my result were 78.8%iran/persia 9.2%Turkey Caucasus 7Armenian

I actually got some Persian in my DNA, you would be surprised how common that is in the Balkans.

I am 53% banana with 25% motor oil and 10 % fabric softener.

I am Bulgarian and I am 62% Persian and 24% Balkan 🙂🇧🇬

I am an ethnic Arab with 71% Persian DNA😅 almost like the Iranian guy here😆

I think we all should do a DNA test so it could be a wake up call for us to not discriminate between any particular races

Results make sense. The Arab impact was mostly religious rather than genetic. Persia was never truly Arabized, Arabic was used as court, scientific language but it never became a language of the local people. Genetically the Arabs did not intermix with the Persians. The Turkic rulers also preferred Persian over Arabic.

I’m 72% persian 28% turkey and caucuses

My brother did it, and he's 98% Persian! I don't think you can't get any more pure persian than that.

My results: 37.6%Greek 23.3% Middle East 23.1%Mizrahi jewish 8% Italian 8% Ashkenazi jewish I'm from Saudi Arabia by the way

arab gene in iranian gene pool is very overestimated the Arabs didn't replace the origin popultion of pre-islamic persia

I am Persian. My result shows 82% Persian and 13% Italian, and the rest others. Actually, the first time that I saw Bahador and Shahrzad videos, I thought Bahador is Persian-Pakistani and Shahrzad is Persian-Turkish. Anyway, all of us are human. That was cool!

Hello! I'm uyghur. My results: 44.70% - Central and Northern Asia 19.76% - Iran 19.09% - Eastern Europe 5.50% - Ireland 4.69% - Central Europe (mostly Germany) 3.47% - Greece 1.89% - Northern China and Korea 0.90% - Sub Sahara

My wife did my DNA Analysis in 2second. She tolled me I’m 99%loser, 1% idiot. So I left her at the mall. Now I’m 100% lost.

great video! I am from Khūzestān my results were 91% Iran/Persia 4% Turkey Caucasus 3% Southern Asian 2% Eastern African

I am from Tajikistan. I have done my DNA test as well :) I have got 59%- Iran 37% - south Central Asia ( which is Afganistán ) 3 % Mongolia 1% Wales ( which is Europe). I was surprised by last one and pleased . ;)

This "Seyed" phenomenon is a common thing in India as well. My Muslim friends with this surname have been told they are descendants of "Prophet Muhammad" and I knew its not possible. Its a common belief among Muslims that having "Seyed" name means they are better Muslims so many families changed their surname in the past.

I’m a bukharian Jew and originally from Uzbekistan. My results were a little shocking because I don’t even have Central Asia in my DNA results 😂😶 Iran/Persia: 61% Turkey and Caucasus: 29% Middle East: 9% European Jew: 1%

I am Syrian and this is my results 38.7% Middle Eastern🇸🇦🇸🇾🇱🇧 37.2% West Asian🇹🇷🇮🇷 10.2% Greek🇬🇷 6.4% North African🇪🇬🇱🇾🇩🇿🇲🇦🇹🇳 5.5% Italian🇮🇹 1.2% Asjkenazi Jewish🇺🇦🇩🇪 0.8% Nigerian🇳🇬

My redults : 55% scandinavian 20% persian 15% Arab 10% Jew My mother is swedish and my father is iranian jew.

Iran/Persia 93% Middle-East 6% Cameroon/Congo 1% I am Kuwaiti but my ancestrial origin is Hormozgan, Iran.

This is really cool. I should do this and although I am Polish I think I might get some Persian. Bahador did you know that a lot of Polish refugees settled in Iran during WW2? And many of the mixed with the local population and some later moved back to Poland. So as a Pole I am forever grateful to the Iranian nation for welcoming us!

I was born in Russia and lived there most my life, but it turns out I have a lot of Iran/Persia in me!!

My Names Fereydoun I'm From Afghanistan Tajik My Test DNA (‌‌South Asia 35.7%) (West Asia 24.3%) (Scandinavian 20.1%) (Baltic 11.9%) (Central Asia 8.0%)

I'm an Iranian Azeri from Tabriz I speak Azerbaijani (Turkish) but my D.N.A showed another thing I'm 77% Persian - 6%Turk :/ - 10% Greek 3%Kurdish rest was middle Eastern It's weird!!!!!!

I knew your wife will have central Asian genetics as per her eye features

There is no pure race, Every human being is a mixture of many races

I'm persian and my results were: 73% persian🇮🇷 22% cacausus( armenian and georgian) and turkey🇬🇪🇦🇲🇹🇷 5% greek italian🇬🇷🇮🇹 --->> 👀!!

Mine was short. Very very short. 59% north Indian and 41% south Indian (no complaints about being Indian, of course, I love that. Just wish I'd had some variety). Now I'm finding solace in the fact that India is called سرزمین هفتاد و دو ملت i.e. the land of 72 ethnicities in Farsi.

I'm from Iraq, but if I've done a DNA test I'd probably be either Iranian or Northern Indian ( Arian ), cause that's how I really look.

It’s funny she’s more Persian than he is percentage wise, but he looks more stereotypically Persian than her lol. Genetics are wild!

A heart and reply from Bahador will make my day better

I thought I was around 50% Italian, then Irish and Ashkenazi and some middle eastern. Turns out I’m only 28% Southern Italian and 11% Persian, 6% North African, 4% Middle East and 1% Nigerian. And a quarter Irish/English and Ashkenazi. Apparently my grandfather from Sicily was not genetically Italian at all!

My results: 56.7% South Asian 19.8%persian 12.2%Arab 9% turkish 2.3%Russian Btw am Pakistani

That really was interesting guys so thanks for sharing it. Iran is very historical and the rich cultures always interested me so much.

Love you Pakistan and iran 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

Given that 2,500 ~ 1,500 years ago, half of the planet was located within the Iranian Empire, it can be said that the majority of people in Asia, Europe, and North Africa have Iranian genes.

My results (I’m Belgian Walloonian) 58.9% french 21.1% Irish -English 10% south west European 8% Central European %2 Latino

You actually took my suggestion!! Omg thank you; the video was so interesting

The lady looks like a typical Turkmen (Turcoman) girl. She could have played in the Dirilis: Ertugrul series as a bala :)

My family have been living in India(then pakistan) since about the year 1000. We are zoroastrian though. I got 73 percent Persian and 27 percent Indian.

I'm 100% human.

As a Near Eastern history buff, Bahador's entire percentages are part of what is often referred to as Greater Iran, the boundary of Iran extended into present-day Eastern Turkey, as well as Armenia and Georgia during the rule of the Safavid dynasty only a few centuries ago.

this channel is gold

My DNA's test result was 99% Iranian and 1% East African :)

It seems persians are more related to Turks than Arabs? Am I right? I am from Turkey.

Hello from Georgia 🇬🇪 😃💖

That was interesting. I want to check my DNA now👍👍👍❤❤❤

I'm burusho ! We speak burushaski..we live in hunza northern Pakistan

this is so interesting and awesome. shows how race is not something to scoff at or to be proud of, but something to explore as kind of a personal living history : )

These were my results along with the countries that came up for each: 39% South Asian (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) 20% Central Asian (Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Russia) 14% Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Armenia, Russia) 8% Eastern European (Georgia, Russia) 7% North East Asian (Siberia, China, Russia, Mongolia) 3% South East Asian (Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia) 3% Mediterranean (Cyprus, Italy) 3% Western European (Great Britain, Finland) 2% Middle East (Iraq) 1% Melanesian/Papuan And tribes that came up were Burusho/hunza valley for me as well, along with kalash! That’s when I researched on the Burusho people and it made sense given all the different regions I got. For reference, I am of mixed background. My father is Persian and my mother is ethnically Indian but from the Caribbean. I convinced both my parents to do it too because at first I was surprised but then it started to make sense when examining the history. My mom’s side was more simple, hers was mainly Indian and she had some Central Asia and the Western Europe I got was entirely from her given the history of British India and colonialism. My grandparents on my fathers side are from totally different regions of Iran. My grandfather is one side from the Khorasan region and the other Shiraz and my grandmother’s side, mainly northern Isfahan. The Greater Khorasan extended into Afghanistan and parts of Central Asia. And the Mongols etc. so it makes sense that there will be different gene pools within Iran. When Shahrzad mentioned before she was originally from Mashhad, I knew her results would have regions that I got as well because of the history of the Greater Khorasan. Iran is situated in a very interesting spot on the map where there is so much history of different people have come in and out on both the eastern and western past of the country. It is quite interesting to learn history through genetics etc.

I've always been willing to take a DNA test, but there were no chance to do that. I hope i will do it in the future cause I'm kind of curious where I am actually from..

Hey guys I'm a Atlantic Celt and North Sea German, we're cousins. Minus about 10 thousand years or so. But we both descend of the Yamnaia people of central Eurasia.

SALAM AZ ROMANIA❤️

I got 66% Turkey/Armenia and 34% Iran.

My results: 70% Caucasus Georgia 🇬🇪 20% Estonia🇪🇪 8%Russian 🇷🇺 2%Ukraine🇺🇦

4:25, Burusho people speak Burushaski language and its roots are unknown yet. I am from Chitral, North West Pakistan, and we have alot of languages and very interesting. I speak Khowar language, there are languages like Shina, Burushaski, Kalashwar, Balti (To North East), Wakhi, and a lot i can go on and on. It is very interesting that you knew about Burusho people because that is some deep knowledge about the North. North Pakistan has three major regions namely Chitral, Gilgit (Hunza included), and Baltistan. Before Pakistan, we were known as Boloristan. Would be awesome to be in your channel, i can refer to other friends of mine speaking different languages if you want us to be exposed to the world. Peace ! Quick Update Edit (After 3 years): After living in Siberia and learning some Russian, I came to know that Burushaski is a Russian word for the language of Burusho people. It is insanely unbelievable that Northern Pakistan has many cultural and languages roots/similarities with Siberia/Russian. Like in Khowar we say "Di" for yes compared to "Da" in Russian.

Interesting results! Thank you for sharing. My results were very different than what I expected. I expected to have Native American genes; however, I didn't have any. Given my surname, I expected my paternal haplogroup to be British. However, my haplogroup was an older haplogroup (I1) that indicated Scandanavian (which also showed up in significant amounts in my DNA ancestry).

As a Kurd my results were 74% Iran and 26% Turkey and Armenia. Also the Turkey and Armenia region doeskin indicate a Turkic mix. Rather, it is the DNA of the natives of Anatolia.

Wow so the whole “seyed” thing is a lie in Iran

Interesting! May I ask what DNA test you took? Also, are you considering taking another test from a different DNA-test company?

Burusho people speak buroshaski a pretty unique language. They live in northern Pakistan

Shahrzad looks extremly like an Turkmen in my opinion

We are leaving in USA. My daughter got DNA test. She is %100 Turkish. No more any percent other nationality. %100 from middle North Anatolia. It was surprised for us.

verrrrry interesting.... Intrigued me to take a DNA test !

My results: Italian: 27,7% Iberian: 23.3% Greek: 18,6% Irish, Scottish and Welsh: 12,5% Middle eastern: 12,3% Balkan: 2,8% North African : 1,3 Nigerian: 0,9% Mother: Galicia, Spain Father: Sicily, Italy

You can totally tell that they're a solid couple. So much respect for each other!

I loved this! Thank you for posting! When I did my DNA test I was actually really surprised and way off. My mom is Colombian and my dad is Lebanese, so my assumption was I'd be half Arab and a bit Native American and Spanish (my mom's great great grandparents had migrated to Colombia from Spain). My results indicated I'm: 35% Italian, 25% Southwest European, 11% Native American, 9% Persian, 7% Asian (minor), 5% Ashkenazi Jewish, 3% Northern Indian and 2% Southern Chinese.

3:42 Hey Brushu here. I am so surprised to get to know that our gene is extended to Iran. You're right, Brushu primarily lives in northern parts of Pakistan, particularly in the Karakoram mountains. You can find them only in three districts like Hunza, Nagar, and Yasin. All three districts speak distinctive dialects of the Brushuski language. You are right about the Brushuski language, it is considered one of the oldest languages yet has no roots in any other language.

Interesting results! Good video guys, I did mine and it was mainly Persian, and then about 15% was Turkey, Greece, and Caucasus, and 1% Mizrahi Jewish.

nice results👍🏻 i am gonna do a dna test in the future and let see what will tell my

Nice couples. They're doing a great job. Have a good luck

The kind of eyes the lady has is very common among Persians. Now I know: it's the mix of mongolian genes and persian and turkish.

That was so cool. As an Israeli Persian Jew I'm gonna do this for sure. I know our ancestors have been in the Middle East for over 2000 years I'm just curious if we mixed anywhere along the line

This was indeed intriguing Bahador, the great percentage that test missed about you and Shahrzad khanum is politeness, kindness and bahooshi which would have all been 100%, not paying you a complimen mate, thank you

Burusho is from north of Pakistan known as Gilgit and Hunza. These people also have persian traditions like celebrating Nu-roz. People from Hunza are known to have healthy and long lives and you can find few over 100 years of age.

I am tajik and I am 90% persion and 5% Arab and like 5% Russian

I'm 55% indo-Pakistani 🇵🇰🇮🇳 15%Persian-Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇮🇷. 7%turkish🇹🇷 23% Italian🇮🇹. I live in Italy and my parents are from Pakistan

The Burusho people are living in Hunza, Chitral, and in valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan in northern Pakistan.

Hi can I know which company did you used for this test? Most of them are not good. Thanks A From Paris

That music at the end! Just love it.

به هر حال همه ما باز هم انسان هستیم و هیچ نژادی بر نژادی برتری ندارد، هیچ سفیدی بر سیاهی و هیچ سیاهی بر سفیدی هیچ کدام ما از نسل آفتاب نیستیم ،معیار برتری ما انسانها تنها و تنها بر اخلاق و پاکی هر فرد است و بس ، موفق و کامگار باشید! بااحترام احمد شکیب

Sharzad's accent is so cute😍I am from Germany and learn Persian myself.

I knew she would have Central Asian genes.

Guys, does it show your Haplogroup? My haplogroup was Q. Q-M242 is the predominant Y-DNA haplogroup among Native Americans and several peoples of Central Asia and Northern Siberia. It is also the predominant Y-DNA of the Akha tribe in northern Thailand and the Dayak people of Indonesia. I did my DNA test too, full package with Biy-Y. I’m pamirian (Shughnanian we are eastern Iranic people) from Tajikistan and my DNA test says that I’m 47% Central Asian, 30% European, 19% Middle East (Asia Minor) 3% New World (North and Central America) 5% of Ashkenazi Jews have Central Asian Q haplogroup also. I live in U.S, I wasn’t born in U.S and my ancestors aren’t from U.S but I have Native American DNA )) I would say native Americans have my ancestors DNA since I’m from Central Asia and their ancestors are from Central Asia too, they came to both Americas about 15-13 thousands years ago from Central Asia through Siberia and Alaska they discovered north and South America and probably were shocked)) Now, it does make sense when scientists mention that Native American tribes predominantly have DNA of Q haplogroup.

That's really cool you guys, I want to do one myself one day! Very interesting and true for all the people in this world is that none of us are 100% a single "race" :)

Good video!!

Woah👌😔 I can't wait to do this.

You both have 100% awesome in your DNA! 😎😎

I’m from Saudi Arabia and my DNA test is I found that I’m 63% Middle East 19% North Africa 4% Jewish Mizrahi 11% Byzantine The rest from different parts in Asia.

Love you brother!

I'm Armenian and I got 85% Iran and 15% Levantine. The borders of today don't represent history, remember.

i am from Turkey my results were %92 turkish %4.3 greek %3.7 german i'm slant eyed :D

Awesome results :) Mine were: 27% Iran/Persia 18% Turkey/Caucasus 5% Italian 45% Irish/Scottish 4% British 1% Baltic (Latvia/Lithuania) For context, my dad is Persian/Azeri and my mom is Irish/Scottish From what I’ve seen from other Iranian results on Ancestry DNA, it is very common for Iranians to have at least 10% Turkey/Caucasus DNA (even Iranians that have no known Azeri or Turkmen heritage). Most of the people that I’ve seen on there seem similar to you Bahador (3/4 Persian and 1/4 Turkish). I prefer to think of that region as being ‘broadly Caucasian’ because there are many differences between Armenians, Georgians, Turks and Azeris These tests can be frustrating, though, because they’re constantly updating information. For example when I first took the test they said I was 31% ‘Caucasus’ (Iran/Turkey/Armenia/Syria, etc), 8% South Asian, 9% Italian/Greek and 2% Central Asian. Now they say I don’t have any south or central Asian heritage at all

Interesting results… I am wondering Which test did u use.

nice content enjoyed it,well done. Which DNA test is that I wanna try one too. Could you please advice me which is more precise.
