South Ossetians claim they are descendants of Steppe Nomads.

South Ossetians claim they are descendants of Steppe Nomads. But the majority of them share a common ancestor with Svans 4000 years ago.

Who are they? And are they truly indigenous to South Ossetia or did they migrate there later? Do they have any textual evidence of this or is this based purely on oral histories?

    They descend from Alans that settled into that region. The Alans themselves descend from Scythians.
    By the time of the Ossetian ethnogenisis, they had churkafied. That doesn't really mean anything.
    All steppemutts are native to Caucasus (Georgia and Azerbaijan).
    There is nothing to suggest that there was an invasion or population replacement there like there was in, say, Mesopotamia or Italy.

            There is only proof of skeletons that overlap with other Iran_N caucasian populations like Kurds and Georgians.
            There are equally as many pastoralist remains scattered all over wienerasses.

            Mexicans were not farmer people. They descend from a population that behaved similar to CHG as a matter of fact.
            They appropriated farming from Incans. You couldn't have picked a worse example.
            Chinese conventionalized rice farming so it's a dumb thing to bring up.

            Different peoples. The ancestral peoples of the caucasus existed in georgia even before 9000 before christ.

            Simply untrue.
            >Mexicans were not farmer people.
            Mexicas and central americans eidely developed their own agriculture based on corn. Incas, who are also mountain dwellers like caucasians developed their agriculture from potatoes. America had several instances of initial sedentarization.
            >Your people in their origin chased deer, you're not characterized as farmers
            Caucasian cultures practice farming since the eneolithic
            There is no space for nomadism in the mountains of the caucasus.

            Georgians were a pastoralist people themselves.

            They're just in denial about it for some reason.

    Not uncommon. Two examples apply:
    - Hungary. They speak a Uralic language, probably descended from an "old Hungarian" language now dead, but nowadays closest to Khanty. But their gene-pool is Slavic. So although we got plenty of evidence for their history, the genome was erased - by the Mongols, who wiped out the true Magyar nobility, leaving their Slavic squires who were speaking Magyar (the prestige-tongue) to become the next Magyar nobility.
    -Euskara. This one's funnier. Their menfolk are Bell Beaker R1b who were probably speaking old Lusitanian when they showed up in Aquitania. The local womenfolk simply refused to speak it. The men just had to learn the language or else not get laid.
    -Etruscan. Seems similar to the Basques. They were Gauls of the Urnfield culture; R1b by genes again. When they came to the Po Valley, the local women refused to speak any Gaulish so the men learnt Etruscan. (Although there may have been more creolisation here, Etruscan has some inflexions, implying that IndoEuropean and maybe Semitic influenced it by the time it was written.)

    tl;dr, sometimes ancestry doesn't tell the whole story, and the pussy sometimes wins.

      >Who are they?
      The descendants of the Scythians and the peoples of the region that they conquered. Genetically the population is mostly the latter, but culturally the Scythian strain predominates (or, at least, is very clearly of great antiquity, whereas the more Caucasus-aligned cultural features cannot be dated to any specific point in time).

      The Mayans, and various other groups in South America, have something similar going on. Genetically, they're 100% Mayan, but they also speak Spanish in addition to Mayan languages, practice Catholicism, and are very hispanified in terms of culture.

            because ethnic divisions in the caucasus are draw along geographic features, most of the areas you see in that salmon shade of pink, the actual pontic caspian steppe is inhabited by russians, cossacks and the like mostly, caucasians settled the region for times and for times it was setled byb other people, most caucasians and the core of their population is the area in purple and ocassionally those in blue or green. the reason is because they are simply different economically and the caucasian cultures formed along other economy that depends on agriculture

            Sure, that doesn't mean it started with you gypsies. You just learned it from ANF, which is what I've been saying this whole time.

            Fine metaphor but even if i humor you and say you are right, it still doesn't make sense, all people moved around, and all people had their beginning in hunter-gatherer societies after which they evolved into agriculture, and as i told you above, Caucasus is one of the oldest places in the world where that began, you coped your way out by saying it was ANF, and not CHG without realising that those populations don't exist today and people who live in modern day caucasus, whom you call ''churkoids'' are decendent of both. don't reply to me again you bad faith arguing opinionated homosexual

            There are no ANF populations in Caucasus you seething little mongrel.
            > Caucasus is one of the oldest places in the world where that began
            Asia Minor and Mesopotamia is suddenly a part of Caucasus now? Lmfao.
            moronic gypsy, ANF is alien to Caucasus. No one in Caucasus (Georgians and Azerbaijanis and above) have high ANF admixture.
            Stop fricking bumping this gay thread. No one here cares about your little country problems. You're just making your country look really bad.

            False

            If you actually possess some reading capeabilites you would have read that i said ''one of the'' not ''oldest'' alone.
            >moronic gypsy, ANF is alien to Caucasus. No one in Caucasus (Georgians and Azerbaijanis and above) have high ANF admixture.
            Both ANF and CHG have same root, and while yes ANF might not be majority of Caucasian gemone it still is sizeable part of it
            >Stop fricking bumping this gay thread. No one here cares about your little country problems. You're just making your country look really bad.
            This just proves the last point of my previous reply to you, you are a opinionated moronic homosexual who has hate boner for some small nation, hate boner so big that he has to make it known in every thread. but you are right on one thing though i'm not bumping this shit up anymore, it's only me and you here, and you clearly don't have an open mind, anyways here's you last (you) enjoy it.

            moron, that isn't me lmfao.
            That's probably some euro or iranian that's obsessed with your people.
            I don't have a hatred for you specifically, I don't like any steppe.
            Accept it or don't. Churkoid lies have no place in this board.

            a huge part of the Caucasus is part of the PIE steppe, getting the CHG admixture wasn't that difficult.
            Most of the North Caucasus is still based on cattle breeding much more than on agriculture.

            Yes and caucasus is a part of pontic steppe
            [...]
            Africans made similar towers, they aren't proof of sedentary lifestyle. It's proof that there was fights for resources in the region.
            [...]
            > Caucasians range from 30 to 50%
            Show me your dog shit models. I know for a fact that you included non caucasian samples.

            what's the point of lying lol

            Lamo, Georgians are literally one of the last populations with Ydna ANF, but yes, their ANF is usually under 40%.
