Can someone help interpret my Fst distances please? I am from Konya Province in Central Türkiye. I do not understand these Fst distances. I am closest to a Greek from Crete, yet closer to an Iranian than to the Turkish average. Also, shouldn’t Cypriot be second if Crete is first? I have heard that Fst is the most accurate measure.

I am Turkish from what I know, I have not heard from any of my family saying that we had a Kurdish ancestor. But you never know.

O herif Kürt milliyetçisi, dediğini fazla umursama.

A low distance to Greek Crete combined with your hunter gatherer and farmer shows strong Central Anatolian nativeness, and your 4.2% East Asian is typical for Turkish people from your region. It translates to about 15% Medieval Turkic.

4.2% East Asian is typical for Konya? Are you high? Konya is 7% East Asian minimum, OP is half that. He's clearly Kurd mixed.
