Is there any conclusive evidence of where the Tarim Mummies originate from? The theories I have heard are that they are the fore bearers of the Kazaks or the Khazar's. Is there any good conclusive evidence for either of these claims? |

The only information I could find indicates that these early settlers were Tocharians, who were Caucasian herders who most likely kept moving further eastward in search of trade or grazing lands. There are other findings that indicate some of the later mummies were also Caucasian but most likely came from European settlers who were pursuing trade along the Silk Road to China. |
