A study made by Korean scientists finds that Europeans might be ancestors of Chingizkhan, reports PLoS ONE.

It is reported, that 12 years ago there were found remains of 7 people in Mongolia during excavations, 3 out of which were the remains of women. Asian scientists believe that one of the women at the time of her death was 50 years old and had 3 children, who died before they turned into 30.  Moreover, the experts examined all the samples and only in 5 cases managed to identify haplogroups. Thus, R1b-M343 haplogroups inherited by Y chromosomes belong to Europeans, whereas by X chromosomes to Asians.

In this connection, the scientists reported that the generation of Chingizpan were descendants of Europeans, who had moved to Mongolia and married Asian women. The researchers note that this version remains in doubt, until the tomb of Chingizkhan is discovered.
