I agree about the textile evidence. That means there is likely some connection between the Takla Makan mummies and early sites in Europe. I think it would be interesting to tie down the relative ages of the sites. Perhaps this could provide evidence of the direction of population movements. I believe the Celts were the first or one of the first Indo-Europeans to enter Europe proper. I note there is written evidence there was once an Indo-European language used in Sinkiang - wonder if the Tocharians (the language is now dead) were connected to the Takla Makan people? pbs.org Here's another Tocharian site - given the time periods involved I'd also suspect a connection between the Takla Makan mummies and the Tocharian people: wlc.com You know I just thought about the Nike example - Nikes are made in places like Indonesia for a company headquartered in Washington state and marketed around the world. There ARE Nikes in China and Europe and it just means there is a lot of world trade going on. Oh well, there likely wasn't quite as much trade in things like clothes a few thousand years back, so the textile evidence is better evidence of population movements then than Nikes are today.
