Polish genes connected to Mongol-Tatar and other Asian genes?


Hi everyone 

A historical gene question here.
I’ve always wondered if there is a link between Polish genes and Asian genes or perhaps Finnish genes and Asian genes (unrelated to my story; just because I’ve also heard that Finnish people have such eyes). 

My brother and I were both born in Denmark to Polish parents (Warszawa and Jarosław), and my brother has very mono eyelid/epicanthic fold eyes, which sparked a discussion in my family as to if that could be related to the several Mongol-Tatar invasions of Poland during the 1200’s.

Just a small curiosity.

Thank you for your time 💡👍🏻
