Genetics of Inuits

The Inuit people, indigenous to the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska, have a unique genetic history shaped by their adaptation to one of the harshest environments on Earth. Genomic studies have revealed that the Inuit are closely related to ancient populations from Siberia, with their ancestors migrating across the Bering land bridge into North America around 5,000 years ago.
In terms of lifestyle, the Inuit have traditionally lived as hunter-gatherers, relying heavily on marine animals such as seals, whales, and fish, which are rich in fatty acids. This high-fat diet has been crucial for survival in the Arctic, providing the necessary caloric intake and insulation against the cold. Their technological innovations, like the kayak and igloo, reflect their deep knowledge of the environment and resourcefulness in adapting to their surroundings. The Inuit also developed sophisticated tools and clothing, such as fur-lined parkas, to protect themselves from freezing temperatures. Despite modern influences, many Inuit communities continue to maintain traditional practices, balancing them with contemporary ways of life in the Arctic.
For this video, I gathered the raw genomes of 36 ancient samples associated with Paleo-Eskimo cultures of Siberia and North America from a 2019 study called “Paleo-Eskimo genetic legacy across North America”. And ran them through my trait predictor tool for DNA analysis. Regarding their Y lineages, almost every male carried Q1 haplogroup aside from one sample who carried Y lineage C.

This confirms The Theory of The Altaic Origin of Innuits. PERIOD!

[MorphiusTheGreat]

Whats the next video. These are really good

[gvrxil]

Yess!!! Really wanted to see this! If you remember, it was me months ago who asked you major questions about them, and u answered, so thanks for that, and this video!

[BrandonLack]

Thank u so much for the video what a great channel this is

There are two distinct lines of Eskimo. The paleo-eskimo and the neo-eskimo. The neo-eskimo have largely replaced the paleo in North America and Greenland.
Some might think that the paleo-eskimo are a remnant of Ice Age peoples that crossed the Bering strait. But the reality is that their culture are no more than 4000 years old. And that their culture started on the north coast of Alaska.

Can you also show which ethnic groups are closest to these samples?

[ТМир-ие]

I like this theme. I like the author's work!

[thoirdhomhfiosrachadh]

In the older periods and cultures are only a few samples for cultures. In maximum 20-30 . Sad that not more

[julkka]

Good video. Its interesting that Chukchi people are so close to Inuits and Native Americans compared to Nganasans.

[Hectoroftroy]

Pls make video for Anatolian nelithic farmers

[land]

Will you make a video for samples of the Fournol cluster from Paleolithic Europe?

[AnthropoTube]

Make a video about Aboriginal Tasmanians.

IRON AGE BERBERS OR KABYLES/SHAWIYA BERBERS

[lololo-cyeu]

So eskimos are most likely to look like Vietnamese?

[receptayyipklcdaroglu]

Make Azerbaijani DNA video. They are genetically half Anatolian Turkish (Anatolian Greek+Oghuz Turk) half Northwestern Iranic (Kurds, Talysh, Persian).

As you all can see, east eurasians are extremely homogeneous, where west eurasians are more heterogeneous than east eurasians. Would you still tell some misunderstood theories about that P, Q, R ydna are west eurasian, please stop wrong commenting.

M, N, O, P, Q, R, S ydna are close relatives and more possible to be east eurasians. Even R ydna inside indoeuropeans are originated from siberia of east eurasia. I think this should mean lots of things to you all.

Andrei, if i send you a raw dna test, can you make a video about my genetics and ethnicity? Please give me your mail adress.. i would like to pay.
