I don't think DNA is the only thing. We can crop up anywhere. But the Manchu deliberately bred people for Shamanism. They had very strict rules against intermarriage.

Check out this fascinating story of Nishan Shamaness. She's the Chinese Aradia. You have to scroll down a bit to get to the story. http://www.buryatmongol.com/nishan.html

The caucasian side of my family was interested in folk magick. I know they did "faith healing," dream-interpretation and such. But so did all country people back then. I don't count that as a big deal.
