Hmong and Mongols: Unearthing the Shared Ancestry Hidden on the Eurasian Steppe

December 10, 2025 • Deep Dive Team • Season 1 • Episode 17

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating connections between two seemingly distant cultures: the Hmong, primarily found in Southeast Asia, and the Mongols, legendary for their vast Central Asian empire.

Despite their geographical separation, we explore how their migratory paths, shared cultural motifs, linguistic similarities, and genetic evidence suggest a deeper, intertwined history.

Drawing from insights shared on the A Bus On A Dusty Road blog—known for its focus on history, travel, and expat living—this episode reflects the author’s passion for anthropology and global exploration. Tune in as we unravel the forgotten echoes of the steppe and uncover the surprising links between these two remarkable peoples.
