I remember having mentioned that one anthropometrist (Cheboksarov) reported relatively narrow average facial widths concerning part of the Kalmyks he measured. See http://s6.zetaboards.com/man/topic/8836962/1 . As far as I remember, West Eurasian admixture is probably too weak in Kalmyks to cause them having a facial shape atypical for North Asians. Meanwhile, they published some results of a study by Jeong et al., which might explain why. As you can see at "K=9" in fig. S5 of the respective paper, quite a large percentage of the autosomal genes checked is like in certain East Asians. Take a look red and green colours in the bars: both the latter colours are about equally important in Kalmyks. In this sense, part of Kalmyk genome is similar to part of Nakhi and Yi genomes. By contrast, red is significantly less important than green in the bars of northern Han and Koreans, not to mention southern Chinese populations. Nakhi are linguistically related to the meanwhile extinct Tanguts people who once live close to southern Mongols. And while part of these Tanguts might have chosen to join other Na-Qiangic-speakers, others might have stayed in geographical proximity to Mongols. The latter later on became Mongols, it seems.
