Description

The most widespread Pamirid variety, typical for the steppes and lowlands from Uzbekistan to Xinjiang and the Ferghana Valley. Somewhat influenced by Aralid. Formed by contact of Turanids with Tungid-influenced groups and became widely dispersed by nomads. Most common in Uzbeks and Uyghurs, sometimes Tajiks, Kazakh, Afghans, Chinese, Anatolians, and even Hungarians.[1]

Physical Traits

Light brown skin, often straight, brown or black hair, eyes sometimes mixed. Medium height, brachyskelic, ecto- to endomorph. Brachycephalic, orthocranic. Mildly leptorrhine. Body hair relatively weak. Face not very flat, sometimes with the Mongolian fold.
