The mummified corpse is in excellent condition and looks like a typical European. Red, brown, blond hair, white skin, European skull. Clothes, everyday objects have been preserved. The corpse is preserved in such excellent condition because it is located in the middle of the desert - thousands of years ago there were water reservoirs, farmland in this area. These are the oldest human remains found in the region, dating from 4800 to 5000 years ago. There may be many more graves in the area, but new excavations are not underway. Graves with people with Mongoloid features did not appear until around 800 BC. Until then, white people. This creates a problem for China, because it suggests that they got technologies like bronze smelting from us. As for DNA, between 2009 and 2015, the remains of 92 people found in the Xiaohe tomb complex were analyzed for Y-DNA and mtDNA markers. Genetic analyses of the mummies showed that the maternal lines of the Xiaohe people came from both East Asia and Western Eurasia, while the paternal lines came from Western Eurasia. Li et al. (2010) found that almost all - 11 of the 12 men, or about 92% - belonged to the Y-DNA haplogroup R1a1a-M198, which are now the most common in Eastern Europe; the remainder belonged to the extremely rare paragroup K* (M9) from Asia. In 2021, the Department of Life Sciences at Jilin University in China analyzed 13 specimens from the Tarim Basin, dating to around 2100-1700 BC, and assigned 2 to Y haplogroup R1b1b-PH155/PH4796 (R1b1c in ISOGG2016), 1 to Y haplogroup R1-PF6136 (xR1a, xR1b1a.
