Scientists Reveal Incredible Genetic Origins of The Eskimos

Approximately 4,500 years ago, a group of terrestrial mammal hunters spread eastward from Beringia to Greenland. There they established small settlements along the Alaskan and Canadian coasts.Known collectively as the Paleo-Eskimos, these people inhabited the northern Arctic coast for the next 3,000 years, developing regional cultural variants in Canada and Greenland.Then, around 750 to 800 years ago, a new cultural tradition focused on whale hunting the Neo-Eskimo Thule quickly expanded eastward through Paleo-Eskimo territories, reaching Greenland in just a few centuries .
These Neo-Eskimos were the inhabitants encountered during European contact and became the Alaskan Inupiat, Canadian and Greenlandic Inuit, and Siberian Eskimo as we know them today.

They are perfectly adapted and they love travelling around.

When you learn seakayaking or whitewater kayaking you have to practise eskimo rolling in various ways.

It is not always Inuit, sorry, you’re wrong. I known that in Canada and Greenland it is so, but not so in Alaska and Siberia, where we have Yupik people.

Thank You for this very interesting video !

I tried to post on the Denisolvan DNA in 27566 icelanders and youtube would not let me post it for some reason.

My ex wife Eskimo thought they were more likely related to Native American / lower 48 .

[benthekeeshond]

How are they related to the people of Eastern Siberia or today's Mongols?

[svenkaahedgerg]

There is a theory that the Sámi are linked as well. Have ancient Sámi DNA samples been compared with the other Arctic groups as well?

The assimilation of Paleo-Eskimo in Northern America (Alaska, Canada, Greenland) by Neo-Eskimo is similar to how the Ancient North Eurasian and Ancient North Siberian (Paleo-Siberian) got assimlated by the Neo-Siberians.

It is probable to state that the Paleo-Eskimo were Ancient North Siberian who crossed the Bering strait into Americas and the Neo-Eskimo are Neo-Siberians who arrived into the Americas via sailing the Bering Sea. Same phenomenon, same latitude but on a different continent.

The ancient North Siberian of Yakutia from 6, 800 to 6, 200 years ago were the Syalakh-Belkachi culture.

According to Pavel Flegontov et al.,

"The new wave of population from northeastern Asia that arrived in Alaska at least 4, 800 years ago displays clear archaeological precedents leading back to Central Siberia. ... the Syalakh culture peoples, spreading across Siberia after 6, 500 YBP, might represent the “ghost population” that split off around 6, 500-7, 000 YBP, and later gave rise to migrants into America."[3]

"The ancient Paleo-Eskimo peoples were probably involved in these migrations."

The Syalakh-Belkachi culture was replaced by the Ymyyakhtakh culture.

"After 1, 700 BC, the Ymyyakhtakh culture is believed to have spread to the east as far as the Chukotka peninsula, where it was in cultural contact with the Eskimo–Aleut language speakers, and the Paleo-Eskimos.:[4]

Interestingly, it is also around 4, 500 years ago did the Yakutia_LNBA (Yakutia late neolitihic Bronze Age) aka Uralic speaking ancestry Nganasan people spread westward across northern Siberia via the Seima-Turbino phenomenon. It could be also a westward migration to the Chutkotka peninsula by these people who pushed the people living there to sail to Alaska setting off a migration leading to the Neo-Eskimo to migrate from Beringa or Alaska to Greenland.

Violet went to school in the lower 48, she was good friends with Native Americans .

Been saying that. Nice 👍why a lot I say end up on the internet is something I won't understand.

[bridecolbourne]

They are Inuit, please respect that !!

[BlackDoveNYC]

The term “Eskimo” is a racist pejorative. Even though it’s reductive using an actual ethnic group like Inuit (at least as it relates to indigenous Alaskans) is closer to the people’s self identification.

[edisonone]

Yakutia!

Clearly Yakutia, SSR!


And, if they are well nourished; if well sheltered; if given the chance to modernize rather than as Hunter gatherers, and if they are well puffed like Koreans Japanese, other Asians does, they too would qualify as another proud group of the asiatic genomic strand…

This social groups, like those of the Stands, my opinion, are byproducts or remnants, of eons upon eons of military outcastes who through the millenniums — yes, millenniums
— were forced to become outcasts of Kingdoms past therefore not surprising *the resemblance* amongst the group.

This is the reason why they look more like us rather than they do Hindu’s, Turkic, mideastern, or Nordic groups.

heads up - 'eskimo' is a racist term and we would never use it here in Canada. Its Inuit, Dene, Yupik and other northern people.

[plumbummanx]

Eskimo is a derogatory word. The people are called Inuit.

[romesp.]

The Eskimos are an AmerIndian tribe with a little bit of Scandinavian blood.

[SenshinDk]

You are saying that you fully respect inuit and yet you keep it up with the word eskimo. So ZERO respect. Got it!

[loquat]

Icelanders have Denisovan genes in them. I wonder if the origin is from the Paleo or modern Inuit peoples?
