中亚作为亚洲和欧洲的接触地区，经历了欧亚大陆东西方复杂的文化发展、广泛的迁徙和生物融合。然而，要理清这种多样性的复杂性，需要了解欧亚大陆上东西方人民的史前接触。我们通过分析线粒体 DNA 变异，证明了在南疆加瓦尔克出土的 35 名居民中存在东西方基因混合，这些居民的年代距今 2,800-2,100 年。这一结果表明，早在2500年前，东西欧亚人种的初次接触就发生在比中亚更东部的地方。
As an area of contact between Asia and Europe, Central Asia witnessed a scenario of complex cultural developments, extensive migratory movements, and biological admixture between West and East Eurasians. However, the detanglement of this complexity of diversity requires an understanding of prehistoric contacts of the people from the West and the East on the Eurasia continent. We demonstrated the presence of genetic admixture of West and East in a population of 35 inhabitants excavated in Gavaerk in southern Xinjiang and dated 2,800-2,100 years before present by analyzing their mitochondrial DNA variations. This result indicates that the initial contact of the East and the West Eurasians occurred further east than Central Asia as early as 2,500 years ago.
