[Stegura]

The Tocharians left a notable impact on the modern day Uygur's who inhabit the far western Chinese province of Xinjiang.

This is the beauty of Loulan. Different photos of her, don't know which one is the real reproduction.


Perhaps the Chinese wanted her to look more oriental in the top one?

Oh yes, there are definately white folk in modern day China. For example, this guy (http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonnarramore/1712437195/in/set-72157600522950493/)!

I still have a great many images I took during my trip to China back in June - I recently had a little time to work on this pair of images.

Both were taken in a remote mountain village where we stayed one night.

These are ethnically Tajik people, the girls were dressed-up to perform in a village dance, but many of the other villagers nipped home to dress-up just for the photos. If you look closely you can see that the man in the middle of the shot has clearly just put on his best shirt, you can still see the fresh fold lines in the cloth. And the hat is not an every-day hat, this one would be the equivalent of his Sunday-Best.

The Dongxiang people have a very high rate of R1a1 frequency, 28%, as do the Uyghers at 28.6%.
