"Since the Tajiks form the basis of the population of Russian Turkestan as well as of the mountains to the south, and since all other elements in the population are known and have been described, our only concern here is the elucidation of the racial position of the Tajiks. This is a comparatively easy task.161 The Tajiks are of moderate stature, with a mean of 166 cm., the same in the oases of Samarkand and Ferghana, in the foothill country of Ura-Tuba and Pedjerent, and in the mountains, lying between the headwaters of the Syr Daria and those of the Amu Daria in Afghanistan. Their arm length and arm segment proportions show them to resemble closely southern Germans and Frenchmen, in other words Alpines; at the same time they differ profoundly in these respects from mongoloids. In shoulder breadth, and in an especially great pelvic width, they again show their lateral constitutional tendency, and their Alpine body build.
The dimensions and proportions of the heads and faces of the Tajiks as a whole are as ideally Alpine as one can find in any unsorted population series; they might equally well have been measured upon samples from the most purely Alpine districts of France or Bavaria. The head length mean is 180 mm., the head breadth 155 mm., the cephalic index, 86. The auricular height is 127 mm., and the series hypsicephalic. The minimum frontal is 107 mm., the bizygomatic, 141 mm., and the bigonial, 108 mm.; the face height, 124 mm., the nose height, 55 mm., and the nose breadth, 34. The facial index is 88, on the border between mesoprosopy and leptoprosopy; the nasal index, 65."

To sum up this material, the Alpines of France, in the measurements and proportions of the head and face, seem to be smaller replicas of the Borreby people of northern Europe. They closely resemble the sedentary Iranian-speaking Tajiks of Turkestan, with whom we shall deal at some length later, and thus have possible relationships with a similar people far to the east. They furthermore differ greatly in facial dimensions and proportions from Dinarics and Armenoids in southeastern Europe and in western Asia. They differ profoundly from any group of Mediterraneans studied, and show a manifest affiliation to the general Upper Palaeolithic European group.

Like I said, you're illiterate.
"...and thus possible relationships with a similar people far east."
'Possible relationships' is not 'basically related...' but suspected that they may be related but not confirmed.
That being said, this is all psuedo-science. There is something called population genetics, you know, and there is no genetic connection between these people in the East and a segment of southern Germans or French or whatever.

It's pretty obvious that you never learned that correlation is not causation. You're also 20 years behind everyone else on population genetics. To have the Hapogroup R (no need to talk subclasses, apparently) ignores those populations are not related to Germans, French, etc. who are "Alpines.' There is not a segment of the German, French, etc. that shows a genetic relation to Tajiks.
No one who has been on this forum as long as you should be so ignorant of the very basics of population genetics.
