Indo-European indications of Turkic ancestral home

The migrations typical for in the Central Asia in the 2 century B.C first ever put in the forefront authentic Turkic-speaking peoples. The origination of Turkic peoples in the history is not attributable to the name or the people of Turk that appeared in the south, near the Great Wall of China in the 5 century A.D. One should therefore not derive ethnic and cultural history of all ancient, medieval and contemporary peoples speaking languages of the Turkic group from this people only. The diversity of anthropological type of Turkic peoples will, thus, be analysed in this article.
