However, there is the group called the Tocharians, who were settled in the Tarim basin yet had extensive travels and trade contacts for a couple thousand years. They had red hair sometimes (as the mummies found in west China attest). Also, various Iranian tribes populated central asia before the huns/turks swept across, and the early Iranians have connections with Indic as well as possibly European physiologies.

Caesar himself remarked on the much larger bodies and the height of Celts and Germans. Romans had dark complexions, dark brown hair, and were short. No Roman writer thought Celts and Germans to have anything in common with Romans, and no Roman thought himself to be "European". To confirm, read Caesar's "Gallic Wars" and Tacitus' "Germania" and "Histories" Romans differed much from both Celts and Germans.
