Some of Alexander the Great’s literal descendants ended up in that part of “Central Asia”, resulting in blonde hair, blue eyes, etc (allegedly), so… While that may not be the same genetic source (he was Macedonian/Greek. They don’t tend to have red hair), I would suggest that sort of… Genetic mixing has been going on for at least that long…

For it to survive what, 2500+ years is interesting, though…

If they are his direct descendants… Man must have raped a hell of a lot of local women… 😳
