Genetic origins

This statement: According to recent genetic genealogy testing, the genetic admixture of the Uzbeks clusters somewhere between the Iranian peoples and the Mongols. is not confirmed by the (quoted) source, which says Thus, the admixture estimate from northeast Asia is high in the east, but is barely detectable west of Uzbekistan. "West of Uzbekistan" is the sparsely populated South-Western tip of Kazakstan and the Caspian sea. I don't say that the Iranian/Mongol statement is false. It is just not corroborated in the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ortakturiktili (talk • contribs) 08:07, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Uzbeks are not "found," they live in other countries. Improper or outdated, non-neutral tone.

The second sentence of this article treats the subject of the article, i.e. the Uzbek people, as something to be found. It states: "They comprise the majority population of Uzbekistan but are also found as a minority group in: Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Russia, and China." Found by whom? This is not written in a neutral language; instead, it applies a discoverer/the discovered perspective and uses outdated language which is inappropriate when discussing a group of people, especially in this case because the article then proceeds to describe the Uzbek peoples' history and international relations spanning thousands of years. A more proper and concise way to convey the idea that Uzbeks live elsewhere as a minority group is just to say "live," like this: "They comprise the majority population of Uzbekistan but also live as a minority group in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Russia, and China." No colon needed either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.3.138.230 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

sign your posts with four tildas (~ ) ... "found" is completely proper English.50.111.52.57 (talk) 10:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

You could try adding the unsigned template yourself. Aaron Liu (talk) 07:05, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Please include this results into the section "genetics":

A genetic study by Seidualy et al. 2020 found that the Uzbeks derive about ~45% of their ancestry from East Asian-related populations, ~40% from West-Eurasian (European-related) populations, and ~15% from indigenous South Asian populations (samplified by Andamanese, which are often used as proxy for indigenous South Asian ancestry). Overall, the Uzbeks are closest to other Central Asian populations, such as Kazakhs, Kalmyks, and Kyrgyz people.

Thank you.-103.148.157.148 (talk) 10:11, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.In particular, which genetics section? Are you attempting to create a new section? If so, then where? Aaron Liu (talk) 07:09, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
