Han Kangxin describes the people of Qawrighul as robust proto-Europeans. I don't know what he means by 'robust.' Anyone?
That means they were heavily built, almost as if they had, oh, I dunno, Neandertal forebears... ;')

I always did like your way of thinking. Maybe we've found a group of hybrid Modern Human - Neanderthals, huh?

The people he defines as robust were found in these locations:

* Qawrighul
* Charwighul
* Yanbulaq

and later he says that they're closely related to people known by these names:

* Afanasevo
* Yamna
* Srubna

But not related at all to these people:

* Sredny Stog

And, all of the above are defined as proto-Europeans...some robust, some not.
