What Genghis Khan looked like is still a matter of heated debate. In this video, I have collected direct and indirect evidence from sources that suggest that Genghis Khan had significant European features and was a carrier of genes from ancient contacts between people from the West - probably from the Turkic world - and the East Siberian ancestors of the Mongols. The history of Genghis Khan's ancestors, reflected in his unusual appearance for the Mongols, shows how close and diverse were the ties between our distant ancestors.
