Uyghurs in the making, Tocharians in the unmaking. Only the earliest mummies represent the true phenotype.

Looks like Aralids and Asiatic-Alpines.

There is no established link between the mummies and Tocharians.

The mummies might be the ancestors of the Tocharians. Tocharians are probably descendants of the Afanasevo culture;
