No, Pashtuns are primarily of Indo-European and West Asian descent, with their genetic makeup largely attributed to these ancestral groups.
While there may be some historical interactions with Greek cultures due to Alexander the Great's conquests and the subsequent Hellenistic period in the region, modern genetic studies indicate that Pashtuns' genetic heritage is primarily rooted in Indo-European and West Asian populations. The presence of Haplogroup R1a, a common haplogroup among Indo-European populations, in a significant portion of Pashtuns further supports this ancestry.
Therefore, while cultural influences from the Greek period may be present, direct Greek DNA constitutes a minor or insignificant component of the overall Pashtun genetic profile.
