"Do you have any links to pictures of Hakka? I'd like to see what they look like compared to other Chinese."

No. Just descriptions. High nose-bridge, wavy hair, sometimes taller and ocassionally lighter hair/eyes.

Btw, I believe these people to be the asian equivalent of the Scythians. A great drought hit the Tarim Basin region and people migrated east and west...Hakkas-Schytians. (...and they're both related to the Xiongnu, Han, Hun, Saka, etc.)

Speaking of the Scythians, you just reminded me of a note I jotted down that I meant to pass on to you guys--from my old World Book Encyclopedia:

About A.D. 120, the Scythians from central Asia conquered northern India. Their kings ruled as the Kushan dynasty. . .
