Annotation

The article presents the results of the analysis of the gene pool of the ancient Hittites with the determination of the origin (autochthonous or alien) of each mitochondrial haplogroup. The results of comparative paleogenetic analysis are included in a wider system of archeological and linguistic data, and on the basis of a comprehensive assessment, conclusions are drawn about the origin of the Hittite-Luwian (Anatolian) group of Indo-Europeans from the area of the ancient Yamnaya culture of the Moldavian steppe. The analysis of the specifics of the funeral rite showed its translation from the Yamno-Budjak culture of Thrace through Troy II to the Royal Necropolis in Aladja in the valley of Galisa — on the historical habitats of the Hittites. Assumptions are also made about the circumstances, place and time of the divergence of the Hittites and the Luwians.
