Yuezhi

The Yuezhi were apparently a Caucasoid people, as indicated by the portraits of their kings on the coins they struck following their exodus to Transoxonia (2nd-1st century BCE), and especially the coins they struck in India as Kushans (1st-3rd century CE). Ancient Chinese sources do describe the existence of "white people with long hair" (The Bai people of the Shanhai Jing) beyond their northwestern border, and very well preserved mummies with Caucasian features, today displayed at the Urumqi Museum and dated to the 3rd century BCE, have
been found in precisely the same area of the Tarim Basin.

Tocharian languages

Tocharian is one of the most obscure branches of the Indo-European language group. It consisted of two languages, Tocharian A (Turfanian or East Tocharian) and Tocharian B
(Kuchean or West Tocharian). These languages are attested for roughly the 6th to 8th centuries, before they were extinct, their speakers becoming assimilated to the expanding Uighur tribes.

Tocharian

There is evidence both from mummies and Chinese writings that many of them had blond or red hair and blue eyes.
