Where would they mix with Mongoloid DNA, if there was no Mongoloid DNA to the west of the Altai Mountains at that time ???Goga said:Makes sense, Alans & Scythians (R1a-Z94/Z95) came from BMAC through Central Asia. Before they migrated into Europe they were already heavily mixed with Turkic tribes in the Steppes / Central Asia. Scythians of the Steppes were not really Iranid anymore but had also Russian / Uralic (Europoid) and Turkic (Mongoloid) DNA in them.
Figure A below shows frequency (shades of green) of Mongoloid mtDNA in ancient DNA samples from times before the Iron Age:
Until the end of the Bronze Age there was no Mongoloid ancestry in populations living in what is now Kazakhstan:
