The legacy of the mongols and what they have left for us to study.
The mongols caused many changes wherever they went, be it bringing information through trade routes, or diseases that killed thousands of people.
The trade routes created by the mongols allowed for an array of information to arrive in Europe, which caused great enlightening.
They unified large regions of the world, many of which are still unified today. Their travels throughout the world assisted in the spread of religions like buddhism and Islam. Additionally, they caused a great stir-up in the demography of the world since they would often recruit prisoners of war from one region, but also themselves settle in a conquered region. Because of this, the DNA of the mongols can be traced across the world from Mongolia to as far away as New York.
The longest living successor of the Mongol empire was the state of Crimean-Khanate, which was annexed by Russia in the 18th century.
Although no direct states exist that descend from the Mongol empire any longer, large areas like China and Russia were unified and rose to power under the Mongols. In Russia's case, the Moscow region acquired the position of being tax collectors for the Mongols, and since they rarely visited the region, the Russians managed to gain military power and overthrew their Mongol rulers in the region. This allowed for the Russians to create the Tsardom, and essentially the Russia that would live until the revolutions of 1917.

Many of the changes caused by the mongols can today be traced by scientist.
Today, the massive emigrations the mongols caused with their destruction can still be seen today, as they caused the migration of Iranian tribes into today's Iran. The mongols also brought diseases with them which the Iranians were not immune to, and today the massive death toll can still be seen between the Iranian people. The mongols are also suspected of being the ones who brought the plague to Europe in the 14th century.
