Circassian DNA. The Circassians are originally from the North Caucasus and experienced significant losses during long wars with Russia. About 90% died or were exiled, resulting in most living in Turkey today. But what are they genetically? Here we see the breakdown of Circassian DNA on average. They have mainly Caucasian roots, with influences from Turkic peoples, Slavs, Germanic peoples and Sarmatians. The most genetically similar peoples are Karachays and Balkars. However, as we can see here, the values differs by region and tribe. For example, Circassians from Adygea are more similar to Ossetians and Ingush than other Circassians
