Apparently the Medes, Kurds, Turks, Huns and Tatars share common ancestors: the mongoloid Scythians of central Asia, some of whom went west and intermarried with the ancestors of the Celts, and others who remained in the East and produced the Huns and Tatars

The ancestors of Baloch people were ancient Baluchis, the ancestors of Kurdish people were ancient Kurds, and Medes are an extinct people, there is no reason to consider an ancient people as the ancestors of another people because we don't have much recorded history about the ancestors of the second people.

Were Romans the the ancestors of the ancient Greeks? These people have different ethnicity and culture.

No. The Romans and the Greeks were distinct ethnic groups until the conquest of Greece by Rome. Roman identity and language was lost during the Byzantine era. Greek identity and language survived till now.

No. It's thought the Romans were descended from Trojan refugees led by Aenas

The Medes are a very ancient race. They are mentioned in the bible: the Medai descended from Japeth who lived among the Semites

I believe the medes separated into various ethnicities including Kurds, Baloch. etc. Both mentioned peoples speak Iranic languages belonging to the northwestern branch, so it's a good guess that they are closely related. Balochi language is northwestern Iranic like Kurdish and if not mistaken lori

How can Baluch and Kurds be descendants of Medes... as far as I know, Medes had urban civilization way back 2500 years ago whereas Kurds and Baluchs have till date tribal culture.

Civilisations can decline as well as advance. Take Europe after the Romans left: the tribes soon reverted to barbarism while their former masters became increasingly weak and decadent

I don't think that's correct. The Scythians did mix with the Mongoloids of the Altai, but pure Scythians were Caucasoid peoples as per skull and bone classification. The Scythians were an Iranic people and so were the Medes.

Generically baloch seem to be very ancient people, they seem to be the descendants of the farmers that arrived to south asia from the middle east, sometime 9000-12000 years ago

I don't think that's accurate either. The Baloch are an off-shoot of the Medes who arrived around 5 centuries ago in South-Central Asia presumably from the Caspian basin. Balochi is a northwestern Iranic language.

The Medes were East Iranian speakers, and if that's the case, how can they be the ancestors of the Baloch if they're northwestern Iranic speakers? Is the epyonym Baloch related to Skr. Bahlika Pash. Balkh, present day Bactria?
