There are people today in Chinese Turkestan which by appearances could be mistaken for European. To assume that people which look Caucasian must have been European travelers is unwarranted and a little simplistic-minded IMO. Anything is possible, though some things are more likely than others. The textile evidence mentioned in a URL Cobaltblue posted is better evidence of contact between central Asia and Europe than physical appearance IMO. Though given the relative ages (500+ BC and 3000 - 4000 BP for the Talka Makan mummies), it isn't clear which way movement went. I'd be more likely to bet on the Asia to Europe direction. The last five centuries have seen big population movements from Europe to other parts of the world. Prior to that the major direction of population movement was into Europe. Celtic languages belong to the Indo-European family which originated somewhere in west or southwest Asia. I believe most of the ancestors of present day Europeans immigrated into Europe within the last few thousand years from Asia. Sorry if I offended you.
