pashtuns in pakistan or peshawar have history of marrying into punjabis or indians so they do share same DNA most of the time. Afghan pashtuns in Kabul etc also share the same tbh. Only the ones living in caves dont share any clusterPanjabis and Pashtuns don't have almost the same DNA, though. They cluster close with some of them but there's also plenty of them that fall outside the cluster. Even on PCA charts you will notice Afghan Pashtuns falling outside of the range. The ones clustering with Panjabis are people whose ancestors were Indic / Dardic but they got Pashtunized. Afghan Pashtuns will gatekeep hard and say they aren't "real Pashtuns."@Shrek2OnDvD @ascendedd may be able to confirm.
