The analysis showed the extraordinary proximity of the mitochondrial DNA of Tagantsev and the Scythians with the Sarmatians. Apparently, they were closely related not only in the male but in the female line. This indicates quite free migration of people into the steppe zone of Eurasia in that period. The corresponding article was published in PLoS ONE. The study is supported by grant RSF.

Until now it was not known where their ancestors came, as despite the relatively Eastern location of the Tagar of monuments in their graves there are obvious Caucasians.
