๐ฎ๐ท Genetic Landscape of Iran
Iran sits at one of history's greatest genetic crossroads โ Persian, Turkic, Kurdish, Arab, Baloch, and Lur peoples blend into remarkable diversity. The Zagros Mountains fostered genetic isolation for millennia, creating distinct regional profiles. Northern Iranians from Gilan and Mazandaran show surprising rates of green and blue eyes (~15%), while southern populations near the Persian Gulf carry more Arab and South Asian markers. Iran's B blood type frequency (~27%) is among the highest outside of Asia.
