The computation of genetic distances of 55 human populations belonging to
four great human races, based on proteic, enzymatic and
blood group loci, and the construction of a dendrogram for
these populations, distinguished some relationship among
German, Slavic and Finnish-Ugric populations. According to
the results, Russians cluster together with Poles, Iranians,
Komi,
Chuvashes,
Udmurtians, Nentses and Ossetians; Germans cluster together
with Serbs, Moldavians, Hungarians, Croatians and Czechs;
and Greecs are in closeness with Slavic populations. Common
migrations of these populations from places of first
differentiation in Asia were identified. In Europe,
German populations migrated differently than ancestors of
Russians, which migrated into Europe across the North of
Siberia. The ancestors of Germans probably migrated in the
same way than Hunnu. Settlements of ancient Caucasoids in
Central Asia are currently under investigation. Haplogroups
H, W, I, U, X and T1, defined by mitochondrial DNA,
of the rural Russian population in the Yaroslavsky region
corresponded to that of Russians and Caucasoids. Additionaly,
the last decoding of petrogliphs in the Baikal region
discovered the presence of ancestors of Caucasoids in
Siberia in paleolithic .
