Dali Site Remains

Caption

This is the detail of excavated human remains from a middle Bronze Age tomb at the site of Dali, Kazakhstan. Samples from this burial show a significant change in the ancestry of inhabitants after 2000 BC, shifting from a mixture of West Siberian hunter gatherers and Iranian farmers, to mixed ancestry with central steppe groups and southern central Asian populations.
