The Cumans are said to have originated in China, east of the Yellow River. They are described as Caucasians with red/blonde hair and blue or green eyes. The Kipchaks were a loose Turkic Federation. The two combined and at various stages became mercenaries for some of the Russo/Baltic states. They eventually combined with the Mongol Golden Horde raiding across central and parts of western Europe. What genetic legacy did they leave behind?
