Do Turanids really exist in Hungary ?

Do they, I read that 25% of the population is Turanid but I find that hard to believe. Most Hungarians look European and their genetics also show them to be Caucasoid people and related to South Germans I believe. If you have examples please post them.

I saw some but i think 25% is a bit too much

I don't doubt there is Turanids there, but 25% of the population is quite bit. I wonder how overestimated the amount.

30% of the Hungarians are Turanids, and 60% are Europo-Mongolids over all.

That's interesting actually, but how did this come out to be. So they have more Turanids than Turks is amazing actually, how did this happen and genetically they are not much different from their European neighbours.

The Turanids is a basically Europid type with a very little Mongoloid element. Later, in the medieval times, the Central Asian Turanids were heavily Mongolized. But the average, or original Turanid, for example the ancestors of the present Hungarian Turanids were mostly Europids, so their genetics are Western or Central Eurasian too.

And here are the examples of the basic Turanid types!

The Turanids in Hungary are mostly very Europid Europo-Mongolids. I'm not sure what their exact genetics are, but I think the East Eurasian mixture is low. However this does not change the facts confirmed by physical anthropology.
