I see. I have read often that Europeans are from Central Asia, in present day Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Makes more sense they are from Western China. My guess is Tocharians could be the earliest Indo-Europeans. Now I wonder if some of them found their way to East Asia, like Korea and Japan.

I pictured Scythians wearing metal helmets.

I'll speculate and guess that the Jomon/Ainu of Japan were their ancestors.
