'''Orazak Ismagulov''' (born 1930) is an internationally known{{fact|date=March 2014}} [[anthropologist]], doctor of historical sciences (1984), corresponding member of the [[Kazakhstan National Academy of Sciences]] (1994). Ismagulov uses anthropological studies of [[ancient]] and modern people as a source of historical information for [[ethnogenesis]] and [[ethnic]] [[history]] of the [[Central Asia]] peoples. This work shed light on the origin of the [[Scythians]], [[Sarmatians]], [[Kangar people|Kangars]], [[Alans]], and other [[Central Asia]] peoples, following the anthropological development from the ancient to the modern times in the Central Asia.

In the 1993-1994, within the framework of scientific cooperation with the Institute of Anthropology at the Bolonia University in Italy, Ismagulov headed an international project for problems of adaptation of high-mountain [[Kazakhstan]] and [[Kyrgyzstan]] populations in respect to ethno-cultural processes in the region.
