A multidisciplinary and international research project has brought fresh insights into the origins and diversity of the populations that lived under and after the Hun empire between the late 4th and 6th century CE in Central Europe .

Study connects some of the European Hun-period individuals directly to some high-status elite of the earlier Xiongnu Empire -- a powerful nomadic empire centered in the Mongolian steppe centuries before the Huns emerged north and west of the Black Sea .

It also shows that only few Huns carried East-Asian ancestry, and that the newcomers of the Hun period were of rather mixed origin.

The Huns ' arrival in Europe contrasts with that of the Avars two centuries later.

The Avars came directly to Europe after their East-Asian empire had been destroyed by the Turks .

The ancestors of Attila 's Huns took many generations on their way westward and mixed with populations across Eurasia .
