I disagree, they are not mere cosmetic changes.  As examples: The North East Siberians have short limbs so that they can conserve as much heat as possible, and also thicker skin, they have narrow eyes so that the white from teh snow does not bother them as much.  East Africans have long limbs to create more surface area for the loss of heat is increased, black skin for protection against sun (and somehting to do with diseases too).  Both have flared noses for opposite reasons.

And I think the actual population with a direct Turkish ancestor in Turkey has been underestimated, though certainly not in the majority I think it is more than what most people on the internet (not anyone here in particular) for whatever reason try to make out.

I am not saying that humans are the same everywhere. What I am saying is genetical variance is not enough to identify 'races'. This variance you are writing about exhibits clinal character, involving gradual changes over a continuous area. Racial difference is something else, not observed in humans. But what people call 'races' (like 'black', 'white' race) are classifications based on cosmetic (i.e. visible) differences, not on genetic differences, which is a better indicator of how close human populations are.  

And I think the actual population with a direct Turkish ancestor in Turkey has been underestimated, though certainly not in the majority I think it is more than what most people on the internet (not anyone here in particular) for whatever reason try to make out.

How many direct 'Turkish' ancestors (Central Asian is a better term, since vast majority of Turks have Turkish ancestors obviously) you'd need to call someone a Turk? If my great great great grandfather came from Central Asia in year 1750, but the rest of the family line are local people, my genes are only three percent Central Asian. Note that this is only 250 years ago, not 1000. I'd agree that many people in Turkey (and in Iran, for that matter) would have some ancestors at some point from Central Asia, but it doesn't make the gene pool very Central Asian.

OK if you want to remain in the strict confines of the word then I agree that the word race should not be used at all among humans, but it is a word which people understand and use in a cosmetic context.

Turkish I meant Central Asian. And I agree with you that on the whole the population is more regional than CA as Anatolia and Iran were already heavily populated, however, I think that the 5-10% figure is too low.  So instead of having just your (and I say this as an example) great great great Grandfather being of CA origin also another ancestor from that generation, again very dependent on region but on a higher % of the population than what we are generally led to believe by these genetic pie charts.

Even the Oghuz who came from CA would have been mixed to one degree or another before they came to Anatolia, ME genes are pretty strong in CA too, you know.

It's nonsense to claim that the modern Turkish people are Turkified Greeks, but I don't know how to explain this huge physical difference.

the turks of today in the west are mostly turkified inhabitants that were already there.

like a lot of turks in turkey are anatolian and a lot of turks in the cacausus were already there, etc....

that is why you look different than the ones from the east.
