ABSTRACT: There are several hypotheses on the origin and distribution of populations in Xinjiang before Mongoloid population arrived. Here we focus on some new data from the literature, and indicate a hypothesis of two routes of agriculture migration into Xinjiang. There should also have been admixtures between these two migrants. According to the proportions of Y-chromosome haplogroups J and R1a in Xinjiang population, the proto-Indo-European (Tocharian) speakers should have derived from the northern migrant of Proto-European type.
Key words: Agricultural diffusion; Xinjiang; Y-chromosome; Northern migrants; Southern migrants

摘要：关于蒙古人种进入新疆前的新疆人种来源和分布，一直有很多种不同的说法。本文综合最新相关的成果，指出新疆最早的农业定居者是分别从两个不同的方向进入新疆的，并且有一定程度的融合。最后根据Y染色体单倍群J与R1a的比例，推断原始印欧语——吐火罗语人群的可能起源于北路的原始欧罗巴人种移民。
