"@Zalinachka @TomasJulio485 The Hypatian Codex says the Kipchaks left Georgia matching the lack of Turkic DNA in Georgians. Meanwhile upcoming Medieval Ossetian samples are pure Kipchak. And your friend Spartak Dzanaev like many Ossetians oddly looks like a Mokheve with a Tatar grandparent. Wonder why"

"Facial reconstruction of an Eneolithic man from Ginchi Dagestan. The man exhibited artificial cranial deformation the result of intentional head binding - a practice widespread in the Eneolithic Caucasus and already well established in the Neolithic Middle East. The Neolithic and Eneolithic populations of the eastern Caucasus were largely of Upper Mesopotamian descent which may explain the adoption of this custom. The tradition of skull binding in Dagestan and South Caucasus is speculated to have been a source and diffusion point for the same practice later observed among the Indo-European"

"Facial reconstruction of an Eneolithic man from Ukraine belonging to the Usatovo culture. His skull was artificially deformed (plagiocephaly) with the right side of the face significantly smaller than the left caused by systematically laying him on his left side during infancy.

The left parietal bone bears cracks consistent with heavy blows almost certainly received in combat. These injuries are believed to have caused"

"Facial reconstruction of a 3000-year-old man from Ossetia The Koban culture emerged by the end of the Bronze Age during a period of major Kartvelian expansion throughout the Caucasus.

On the basis of this expansion the Koban culture was formed bringing forth advanced metallurgy and the distinctive Kobanian axes structurally very similar to the Colchian axes characteristic of the Colchian culture. Over time the Koban culture"

"The original Scythians were the Eastern Scythians. The European Scythians were Eastern Scythians who later admixed with Srubnaya Caucasian-Kobanians Para-Balto-Slavs and others depending on the period and region. We know that the first wave of Scythians (and Cimmerians) who moved west represented by the Marinskaya sample from the North Caucasus were identical to the Eastern Scythians. After learning the Caucasian passes from the Kobanians these people invaded the Caucasus and the Middle East leaving behind Iranic toponyms such as Gyumri and names like Dugdammi. The Scythians who did not cross"
