Of Hungarians' Genetics

The Antropological View

The result of antropology confirmed the obvious issues around the Finnougrian theory, also highlighting that against any other European nations, there is no word of a nation of single race in case Hungarians. Hungarians consist of at least five major antropologic groups.

1. Turanid type. The old country of these people is the Heart of Asia, East Turkestan; this type is common among the ones graved in Astana from the 3rd century CE. The most Western (Northern and Southern) appearance of this type is in the Carpathian Basin in Europe, having 30-35% of occurrence in today's population of Hungary.
2. Pamiro-Ferganian, Central Asian, Mesopotamian, or Anatolian Type comes from the area of Pamir, Tian-Shan, Altai, Central Asia and the Iranian Highland. This type of people were buried in Central Asian Astana and Ordos. The type reached the Carpathian Basin with the Huns first, then with Avars and Hungarians. This is the typical character of the Hungarian Plain's ploughmen, having 10-15% of occurrence in the Carpathian Basin.
3. Taurid (Caucasian) Type characterizes Turkish, Scythian, Sarmatian and Yazig nations partially, occurring among Hungarians in 5-8% from the Hunnish times through Avars and the Settlement until today, however in the Kiskunság, this rate can easily go up to 14%. The old Country of this type is Asia Minor, the Caucasus, the old Mesopotamia, Persia and the Iranian Highland.
4. North Baltic, or Eastern European type characterizes the people of the Eastern European Plains, where the fathers of Hungarians, Pechenegs, Kumans, Yazigs went through. However this type is not common in the old quarters of the Hungarians, the type could come from Levedia and Etelköz quarters by mixture and join. This type occurs in 8-10% rate, but in Palócland can reach 35% because of mixing with Slavic population.
5. Uralic, or Ugric Type characterizes Finnougrian nations, coming from the area between Urals and river Sayan. It's first occurrence among Hungarians can be proven from the 10th century CE in rate 0.6% that is valid also today. This means that Hungarians really went through some Finnougrian lands, but that population played no important role in shaping the ethnic picture of Hungarians. The "Mongoloid" elements of the Hungarians come from this group mainly.

Physiology also provides important information in the identification of the origin of a nation. Within the blood group system attributed to Landsteiner, the rate of the "0" and "B" bloodgroup genes characterizing Hungarians (31.05% and 17.90%) is off from the Indoeauropean and Finnougrian nations, but it is within the range found among Central Asian Turkic nations. There is another bloodgroup type among Hungarians, Diego [A+], that is present in no other people of Europe. The "Mongolian spot", that is almost unknown in Europe, has 22.6% occurrence. Lactose intolerance (missing lactose digestive enzyme), rare elsewhere in Europe, is at 37% among Hungarians, exactly as in Central Asia. The skin splinter system of Hungarians has Central Asian characteristic (low bend rates, but high vortices). Observing the bones of 9th century Hungarians antropologist Pál Lipták states, that 24% of Settling Hungarians was Turanid, 20% Pamirian and 2-3% belongs to the formations arose in Asia. Turanid type is the mix of andrvov and mongolic types (which means Andronovo = Ural-Altaic!), while the Pamiro-Ferganian is an archetype of Xinjiang, the land under Chinese control today. These are all evidences of the relationship of the 8th century Hungarians and the oldest inhabitants of Northwestern China. Ethnic set up of today's Hungarians is basically the same as in the 9th century, according antropologist Gyula Henkey, for the later settling populations shared similar characteristics coming from old Hun and Avar territories.
