Whoops! Red haired Genghis Kahn had green eyes, not blue.
During my reading in Wiki the day before yesterday, the Thracians had red hair and had expanded way out into the great steppe perhaps before the time of the Scythians, or well before the Scythians moved west of the Aral and Caspian seas. Again one of those WoW moments one stumbles upon.
There was a whole slew of red headed folks once on the great steppe, the Thracians (!), Scythians, and some of the Sarmatian Confederation.
The confederation may not have "fought each other", but I'm sure did raid each other for horses and cattle.
Who knows, the more eastern tribe silk and cotton cloth trader saying, move your pastorage west a few days ride and I'll give you a great deal on the cloth and toss in some salt.
Everyone was pushed west by more desperate tribes to the east.
