So we aren't exactly the world's most phenotypically consistent breeders. A person can also trace every last one of their ancestors back to those lines on the map they call Mongolia and not be a Mongol. I don't fully understand the process but the registry is pretty developed and tends to parallel concepts in horse breeding. You have people who are registered but don't show also like breeding paints in horses or people who are registered but not to breed regardless of what they look like.
It was pointed out that the union I was talking about would probably produce Kazakhs but we have a solid use for Kazakhs which is why they persist. There have been a lot of other groups spring out of pure Mongolian ancestry such as the Kyrgyz and Tibetans and people whose names are lost to time, and honestly Japan, Korea, and China as well. Some of these people will persist and some will keep taking on different forms based on what is happening in the world and what people need to do, but somewhere we need to keep the unspecialized pool to draw from where the mutations stay within a certain range but can branch out anywhichway if taken away in groups and subjected to different conditions and we can argue about the importance of color or just how apeshit China goes when they think the westerners are camping too close, though with communication and transportation being what they are these days and that place we were really all going together being open to all of us again, we could probably stand not to keep all our eggs in one basket, and the chickens on our farm may not lay the same colored eggs as the chickens on the next.
