    Caucasians have little to do with their ancestors being Huns, you can't say that.

    The Turks are Caucasians.

    The Turks are the majority ethnic group of the Republic of Turkey, and the vast majority of them are Muslims, dating back to the Ottoman Empire. Most are of Anatolian ancestry, Greeks, Caucasian peoples, Kurds, as well as ancient Hittites and Lydians, and later the inhabitants of the Balkans.

    The Turks were first mixed with the Greeks of the Baizai and the Chatines. After 1071, the founding of the state in Anatolia began, and a large number of Oghuz people entered in the post-Mongol Ilkhanate era, which was the real foundation of the era.

    This ethnic group is mainly distributed in Turkey, Germany, France, and some other countries such as Iraq, Azerbaijan, Northern Cyprus, Greece, Russia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Romania, Austria, Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Australia, Central Asia, North America, etc.

    Europa.

    The descendants of the remnants of the Eastern Roman Empire, the original inhabitants of the Mediterranean, and the Turkic tribe speak Turkish, which belongs to the Oghuz branch of the Turkic language family of the European Altaic language family. In 1928 it was switched to the Latin alphabet. They believe in Islam and are mostly Sunni.

    The Turks are of mixed descent from the Western Turks. After the Western Turks were destroyed in the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century, the Seljuks of the Oghuz tribe moved from Central Asia to West Asia and Europe, where they combined with the local Persians. Osman I founded the Ottoman Empire in 1299.

    By May 29, 1453, Mehmed II captured Constantinople and destroyed the Byzantine Empire, reaching its peak in the 16th and 17th centuries, especially during the reign of Suleiman I, ruling across three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. Therefore, the Ottoman monarch Sultan regarded himself as the lord of the world, inherited the culture of the Eastern Roman Empire and the simplified Islamic culture, and the Eastern and Western civilizations were united in it. After the First World War, the empire collapsed and was colonized by European powers.

    In 1919, under the leadership of Kemal, an armed struggle for national liberation was launched, overthrowing the feudal dynasty, repelling foreign aggression, and establishing the Republic of Turkey in 1923.

    The Huns belonged to the race.

    The Xiongnu were ancient northern nomadic peoples in ancient China, rising in the foothills of the Yinshan Mountains in present-day Inner Mongolia. According to the "Historical Records: The Biography of the Huns", the Xiongnu, the descendants of their ancestor Xia Hou, are also called Chunwei. Above Tang Yu, there are mountain rong, lynx, meat porridge, living in the northern barbarians, and moving with animal husbandry.

    The Xiongnu in ancient Chinese books were a powerful nomadic people who dominated the north of the Central Plains in the late Qin and early Han dynasties.

    The users of the slate tomb culture in central and eastern Mongolia may be the common ancestors of the Xiongnu and Donghu, both of whom belong to the North Asian type of the race ethnically, and they are homologous in terms of germology, close in geographical range, and similar in cultural characteristics.

    The Xiongnu and Mongols may have been of the same ethnic origin. Of course, it cannot be said that the Huns were the direct ancestors of the Mongols, who were already very distant in time.

Crocodiles are not descendants of dinosaurs (crocodiles appeared in the Mesozoic era from the Triassic to the Cretaceous, and were contemporaneous animals with dinosaurs, and the similarity may only be due to the influence of the bad environment of the times, so they are not considered descendants of dinosaurs in terms of origin), such as horned crocodiles are herbivorous creatures that lived in the late Triassic, and ground crocodiles are carnivorous creatures that lived in the middle of the Jurassic, all of which lived in the same era as dinosaurs.
