It defines that ancient Chinese mummies are caucasian. Simple as that.

Are you genuinely that stupid or just that much of a troll?

The Cherchen Man was/is caucasian, simple as that.

Not my claim. It has been made by countless others. How many sources do you need?

the Cherchen man, along with the others found in his tomb, were Caucasian

His features DON'T define his DNA. That should be simple enough for anyone to grasp. 

My own features are "Caucasian", as it were, however my mtDNA having originated BEFORE the Last Glacial Maximum and the origin of light skin tones in Europeans would have originated in an ancester of at least brown skin tones. Does that then mean I'm NOT 'Caucasian'? You're comparing apples and oranges.

The oldest mummies are from 2000 BC. Until the year 0, all of them are of the "Caucasian" type, meaning sharp nose, deep eye sockets, light skin, bright or brown hair, and, on men, strong beard.

I never said there was only one specifc type 'Caucasian DNA'.  Why would you assume I did?

It doesn't matter how many types of DNA there are, you specifically said this:

Yes, but these mummies they keep digging up in China, especially in 'tomb complexes' seem to always be Caucasian with Caucasian DNA.

Again, there is no such thing as Caucasian DNA.

Ok. You are interested in giving a dictianary lesson. Doesn't change the idea that the tomb of Qin may contain a caucasian.

Doesn't make his DNA Caucasian, a distinction that you apparently DON'T understand, but continually misrepresent.

How about DNA from a caucasian. The tomb of Qin may contain a mummy that has DNA from a caucasian.

No, I'm interested in accuracy and you are NOT accurate in your claim concerning DNA. It's really that simple.

How about the Cherchen man is caucasian and has DNA. Would that work?

His skin tone may be Caucasian, that is not in dispute, but his DNA can NEVER be classified the same as it originated BEFORE there were any Caucasians.

I hope he had DNA otherwise he wasn't human. Having DNA wasn't the problem, the specific claim you made about it was.

What about his genes?

Of these genes, DCHS2, RUNX2, GLI3, PAX1 and PAX3 were found to determine nasal morphology, whereas EDAR impacts chin protrusion and facial hair, both of which have been recently selected in Caucasians^[44][45]

^{Does he contain any of these genes?}

Never claimed it would. Nothing you have said claims you know anything meaningful about DNA. THAT was the issue.

Why would I need to know anything meaningful about DNA for the opinion I stated in this thread?

In genetics "recently selected" DOESN'T mean "didn't originally exist". That doesn't help your claim about his DNA.

 It is a focus on skeletal anatomy, and especially cranial morphology, over skin tone.

1. He is a caucasian.

Simple as that.

His DNA would show "what was selected" but given the Haplogroups mentioned for him and other Tarim Basin mummies his DNA CANNOT be linked to a specific race, barring an L0, L1 or L2 determination.

If you are going to make a claim about DNA then you should know what you are talking about. And given the specific information about the Haplogroups involved, it's evident you don't.

And yet, YOU made the claim about DNA. Perhaps you should shy away from anything genetically related.

That is why I said his DNA would show his caucasian features.
