&quot;Genetic testing performed on residents of a remote village in China have shown that they may be descended from a “lost legion” of Roman soldiers.  Tests found that the DNA of some villagers in Liqian, on the fringes of the Gobi Desert in north-western China, was 56 per cent Caucasian in origin.  Many of the villagers have blue or green eyes, long noses and even fair hair, prompting speculation that they have European blood.&quot;
