Iran’s Shared Genetic Heritage as a Foundation for Democracy and Unity

Khoshnood, Ardavan M. LU orcid (2025) In Cyrus the Great Institute, CGI Perspectives
Abstract
Genetic studies show that Iranians, despite linguistic and regional differences, share a deep ancestral continuity rooted in the Iranian plateau. Language shifts have occurred without major population changes, and all major Iranian groups belong to a shared genetic family. This unity supports a democratic and inclusive national identity, where diversity strengthens rather than divides.
