> kurds developed an own typical genetic profile called "modal kurdish haplotype" (kmh or mkmh for muslim kurds) on subclade j2-m172 with the following loci: 14-15-23-10-11-12 > a genetic study conducted in 2022 in iraq on iraqi, turkmen, yazidi, and kurdish populations revealed that the genetic distance between yazidis and kurds was found to be closer than the genetic distance between the kurdish and the turkmen population, meaning that the yazidis were found to be genetically closer to kurds, indicating a long-shared history between yazidis and kurds and same homeland for thousands of years, as well as both coming from indo-european origins.[179] > according to another genetic study, yazidis from northern iraq may have a stronger genetic continuity with the original mesopotamian people. the northern iraqi yazidi population were found in the middle of a genetic continuum between the near east and southeastern europe.[180] > a genetic study on the georgian kurds, most of whom follow yezidism,[181] showed that the populations with smallest genetic distance from georgian kurds were found to be kurds from turkey and iran. they're just normal kurds who follow a different religion from islam.
