The research team sought to comprehend the organization of this genetic variety at many social and political scales.
An extensive genetic analysis of two imperial elite Xiongnu burial sites located along the western edge of the empire was conducted by an international research team made up of experts from the Max Planck Institutes for Evolutionary Anthropology , and Geoanthropology , Seoul National University, the University of Michigan, and Harvard University.
The cemeteries include a local elite cemetery at Shombuuzyn Belchir and an aristocratic elite burial site at Takhiltyn Khotgor. Although the Xiongnu possessed a sizable amount of genetic diversity, the lead author of the study and Ph.D. candidate at Seoul National University, Juhyeon Lee, noted that it was difficult to determine whether this diversity resulted from a mosaic of locally uniform communities or if local communities were genetically diverse themselves due to the lack of genomic data at the community level.
The research team sought to comprehend the organization of this genetic variety at various social and political scales, as well as how it linked to gender, income, and power.According to the study, both cemeteries contained people with great genetic variety, a trait seen throughout the Xiongnu Empire. This discovery supports the idea that the empire was multiethnic, with distinct populations at all levels of society and government.
