楼兰人种考

Research of the Race of Loulan

通过对罗布泊地区出土人骨遗骸的体质人类学研究,发现构成汉代楼兰人种的主体成分应是欧罗巴人种中的“地中海东支类型”,同时还有少量蒙古人种,汉代楼兰人群与时代更早的罗布泊地区人群差异较大,后者为“古欧洲类型”。因此,认为汉代楼兰人的族源应该与翻越帕米尔高原的古塞人的迁徙活动密切相关。

Through the physical anthropology study of human bones unearthed from Lop Nur area, it is found that the main component of Loulan race in Han Dynasty should contain the “Eastern Mediterranean branch type” of Europa race and a small amount of Mongolian race. While Loulan race in Han Dynasty is quite different from the earlier population in Lop Nur area, with the latter one belonging to “ancient European type”. Therefore, it is believed that the ethnic origin of Loulan people in Han Dynasty should be closely related to the migration of Gusai People who crossed over the Pamirs.
