Native Anatolians began to use Altaic languages instead of Indo-European languages after the migration of Turkic speaking groups into Anatolia. Scientists have long debated the extent to which this shift in language was accompanied by a genetic replacement of the former population,[1] and it has been concluded that despite the overemphasis on their Central Asian roots,[2] the Anatolian Turks are overwhelmingly indigenous to the area and they are in no sense Mongoloid phenotype.[3]

When analysing the report written by Di Benedetto, et al. entitled "DNA Diversity and Population Admixture in Anatolia", it is clearly seen that is it not Elite Cultural Dominance, but a steady genetic contribution over a long period of time. It is illogical to be able to change the entire language of a sedentary population by a recent wave of nomads. Also, religious conversion also occurred, and the most successful way to achieve this was to constantly mix with the local population, supported by Di Benedetto, et al.[13] In the conclusion of the report, Di Benedetto, et al. states that there was a constant genetic contribution over a long period of time, because the 'elite dominance' theory was too inefficient (there was a substantial Turkish gene contribution, too much for a zero-level) , so the theory of 'continuous admixture' was supported with research, "...if most Asian alleles in the current Anatolian gene pool arrived in the 11th century AD, the Oghuz invasion had a much greater demographic impact than is commonly believed by historians. The alternative is a continuous input of alleles from Central Asia"

he naval battles between the Ottoman Empire and other European powers around the Mediterranean Sea also played an important role in large population exchanges (see, for instance, Uluç Ali Reis and Cigalazade Yusuf Sinan Pasha). Greek Muslims have been absorbed into the Turkish ethnic group and many Turkish nobles have some Greek ancestry through the Ottoman practice of taking Christian wives

The question to what extent a gene flow from Central Asia to Anatolia has contributed to the current gene pool of the Turkish people, and what the role is in this of the 11th century invasion by Oghuz Turks, has been the subject of several studies. A factor that makes it difficult to give reliable estimates, is the problem of distinguishing between the effects of different migratory episodes. Recent genetics researches indicates that the Turkic peoples originated from Central Asia and therefore are possibly related with Xiongnu.[19] A majority (89%) of the Xiongnu sequences can be classified as belonging to an Asian haplogroups and nearly 11% belong to European haplogroups. This finding indicates that the contacts between European and Asian populations were anterior to the Xiongnu culture, and it confirms results reported for two samples from an early 3rd century B.C. Scytho-Siberian population.[20] According to the study, Turkish Anatolian tribes may have some ancestors who originated in an area north of Mongolia at the end of the Xiongnu period (3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE), since modern Anatolian Turks appear to have some common genetic markers with the remains found at the Xiongnu period graves in Mongolia.[21] Moreover, the mtDNA (female linkeage) sequence shared by four of these paternal relatives were also found in a Turkish individuals,[22] suggesting a possible Turkic origin of these ancient specimens.
In het eerste stuk wordt gesuggereerd dat Turken zijn geturkificeerd doordat Turkse mannen trouwden met niet-Turkse vrouwen. Het tweede stuk (wetenschappelijk bewezen) zegt dat Turks mtdna (moederlijn) Aziatischer is dat de Y-DNA (vaderlijn).
