Tóth, T.: The period of transformation in the process of metisation. (A paleoanthropological [sic] sketch)
in Kazahstan, the microevolutional transformation expressed in the race-genesis is observable on the material of finds covering three thousand years. The population of the Andronovo culture, that is, of the Bronze Age, is Europoid in essentials. The infiltration of the Mongoloid elements began early in the Iron Age, and its effects are expressed in the values of the nasomalar and zygomaxillary angles in the osteological finds of the Sakas ; however, this effect wrought no essential changes on the Europoid character of the anthropological composition (GINSBTJRG, 19(54, a; ISMAGTJLOV, 1965; and the present paper: Table 2, 7, Eig. 2). In the Usun Period, the proportion of the Mongoloid elements took a further increase, but again only in the angular values of the facial flatness. It is worthy of note that the transformation of the components, in the second half of the first millenium (the Period of the Türk kaganate), continues, but the Europoid elements still remain preponderant (ISMAGTJLOV, 1964, 1965 ; and the respective Table and Figure of the present paper). Since the present anthropological composition of the Kazahs shows no essential difference against those of the series of finds from the time of the Mongol conquest, it can safely be stated that, from the XlVth century, the proportional participation of the racial components had stabilized, but the process of transformation lasted from the end of the Usun Period (IVth century A.D.) to the beginning of the Mongol period (XHIth century A.D.). Within this one thousand years the intensification is about 500 y r ears (Table 2, 7, Fig. 2). In the third contact-zone of the Eurasian racial components, in the territory of
