The mission of our project, which focuses on Kurmanji and Zaza Alevis and the Yarsani Kurds, is to dispel baseless claims about Alevi Kurds and provide an objective source of data.
DNA results from Alevi Kurds will be shared regularly, and people can contribute to our project.
We at the Iranic Genomes Project are happy to report that the haplogroup of Baba Hindu Lorestani, teacher of Shah Khoshin and a founder of the Yarsani religion, has been ascertained based on descendant testing at the Y37 level!
The descendant testing in question surveyed the Lak tribal confederacy of Iran's Central Zagros region, spanning Lorestan, Ilam, Hamadan and Kermanshah provinces. The testers in question lacked a tribe, but were found to be descended from Baba Hindu Lorestani, who was originally from Sistan.
Baba Hindu was a famous poet and religious preacher that lived in Lorestan around 1000 years ago, known as the teacher of many foundational Yarsani elders. Some worth noting are Shah Khoshin and Pir Firuz Hindi.
The tested haplogroup can be revealed as R1a-Y15121, a subclade of R1a-Z93.
