message: Regardless, DNA analysis that has been conducted "shows that [Assyrians] have a distinct genetic profile that distinguishes their population from any other  population."  Genetic analysis of the Assyrians of Persia demonstrated that they were "closed" with little "intermixture" with the Muslim Persian population.M.T. Akbari, Sunder S. Papiha, D.F. Roberts, and Daryoush D. Farhud, ‘‘Genetic Differentiation among Iranian Christian Communities,’’ American Journal of Human Genetics 38 (1986): 84–98 — is there any more information available on this? On which group of Assyrians, were these tests conducted? Chaldeans/Nestorians/Syriacs? Were the results exactly identical? The source doesn't reveal much detail. I'd like to get down to the bottom of this. So far, this is all I can find. Doesn't reveal much. — EliasAlucard|Talk 01:48 01 Aug, 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Ashurism]] updates

message: I say it's time to split the articles and on each article explain the movements to unite and the different nationalistic movements. Explain the Chaldean perspective. Explain the Syriac perspective and the Aramaean movement. Explain the Assyrian perpective and Assyrian nationlism. The uniting article should be Syriac Christianity. What I'm getting at is that each perspective on why they feel they are that group should be thoroughly explained as well as the opposing groups counter to that claim and in the end explain that ultimately they are united by more similarites than differences. There are countless perspectives on this issue. Many feel that they are all of these people merged. Some feel connected to one and not the other. And some are blatant ultra-nationalists.

replies: text: We can explain them but we DONT need a 10 different articles. Garzo also supports the idea of not having all these different pages. I have suggested to Benne (an Aramean perspective supporter) to start on a page []  that you have described (Chaldean perspective, etc) and the page should be Syriacs. This page right here [] shall the be the draft. Work on it together and get the two Chaldeans in who are also discussing this on the Chaldean Assyrians page to come to the page and create something.  By the way, what do you think of this [] Chaldean 17:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: *Population: The total Assyrian, including the Diaspora, is estimated at 3.3 million, with the majority living in the former Mesopotamia. Outside of the Middle East, approximately 93,000 live in Europe, 300,000 in the United States and Canada, 64,000 in Armenia, Georgia and Russia, 33,000 in Australia and New Zealand and 150,000 in other countries. unpo.org (1999)
*1.8 million (1.4 million in Mesopotamia, 400,000 diaspora) i-cias.com (1996?)
estimates thus vary by more than 50%. homeland: 1.4–2.5 million, diaspora 0.4-0.8 million) dab (𒁳) 07:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
