The phenomenon of the genesis of the Kazakh people and ethnic system

The article examines the ethnic system of the Kazakh people. An attempt is made to answer the question: what influence did the ethnic system have on the ethnogenesis of the Kazakh people? The historical conditions for the formation and development of a people are reflected in the genesis of any ethnic group. The Kazakh people were born and developed under the influence of the standards of the tribal system. For more than one millennium, this system has retained its inviolability. Therefore, the ethnic system of the clan had a strong influence on the genesis of the Kazakh people. The tradition of the "trial" structure of the ethnic system of the patriarchal system contributed to the emergence of the cult of ancestors. Exogamy and polygamy of marital relations played an exceptional role in the ethnogenesis of the people, which ensured the "purity of the ranks".
