- Abstract
This article presents the results of a genetic analysis of the Ashina, a nomadic Turkic-speaking group from ancient Eurasia. The study used data from ancient DNA samples to investigate the genetic ancestry of the Ashina and their relationships with other Eurasian populations. The results showed that the Ashina had a mixed genetic heritage, with influences from both West Eurasian and East Eurasian populations. The study also found genetic differences between the Ashina and other Turkic-speaking populations, suggesting genetic heterogeneity within the Turkic Khaganate. Additionally, the analysis revealed genetic relationships between the Ashina and other ancient Eurasian populations, such as the Xiongnu and Tianshan nomadic groups. The findings provide insights into the genetic history and diversity of ancient Eurasian populations.
