Iran
The Iranian hunter-gatherers were the first inhabitants of present-day Iran. They lived by hunting and gathering food, and did not have a fixed residence. One of your male ancestors may have been an Iranian hunter-gatherer who lived in the Zagros Mountains and hunted animals such as deer, sheep, and goats. One of your female ancestors may have been an Iranian gatherer who collected fruits, berries, and nuts in the forests of Iran.
