This work is dedicated to the history of the Zaza people, the third largest ethnic group in Turkey. The compilation table presents average values of the estimated ethnicity distribution of the Zaza candidates for different DNA testing companies. DNA is the tree of the unwritten folk groups. Effective isolation has given the Zaza people their own DNA. It shows that exclusivity and endogamy in the heartland Zazadiyar has made the DNA of the Zazas a distinctive species. The term Zaza is mentioned on cuneiform clay tablets as early as 3100 BC. Their homeland lies at the source of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. DNA tests confirm the kinship of the Zaza tribes. They show that exclusivity and endogamy in the heartland of Zazadiyar made the Zaza's DNA unique. Studies on DNA, languages, migrations, religious environments, living habits, agriculture, and cultural activities contribute to knowledge about the origins of the Zaza people and are discussed here.
