๐ต๐ฐ Genetic Landscape of Pakistan
Pakistan sits at a genetic crossroads where South Asian, Central Asian, Persian, Arab, and Turkic DNA converge. The Kalash people of Chitral are one of the world's most genetically unique populations, with high rates of light eyes and disputed claims of Macedonian descent. Pakistan has the world's highest B blood type frequency (~36%), making A blood type relatively rare. The Pashtun, Punjabi, Sindhi, and Baloch peoples each carry distinct genetic signatures reflecting thousands of years of separate history.
