(Ottoman average) Genetical distance between ottomans🇹🇷 to modern populations. I would like to point out that we are talking about the similarity of genetic components, not about direct kinship. The Ottomans of that time are genetically close to modern Uzbeks and Turkmens - especially in terms of the ratio of Caucasoid and Mongoloid components. #ottomans #ottoman #turkish #turkiye #genetics #gene #centralasia
