About the test
Paleogenomic studies carried out in 2020 in multiple Xiongnu sites identified Xiongnu individuals from 1600 BC to 1500 AD, vastly expanding the Xiongnu period. It was also found that the Xiongnu were the ancestors of the Huns and Khazars; each group later formed its steppe Empire. With these new genetic data, we can finally tell their full story and understand how they came to be, which were the founding tribes, and what their genetic legacy was.
The test includes 28 Xiongnu people who lived between 1600 BC and 1500 AD and witnessed the transformation of their people and society from simple farmers to an empire and back, after their defeat. The test provides a detailed historical, archeological, and paleogenetic of the Xiongnu. It describes the relationships of the Xiongnu with other ancient Asian people and their cultic practices. A detailed profile is available for every Xiongnu. Find out now how related you are to the rulers of the Eurasian steppe.
