| Abstract: | Background The Yakuts contrast strikingly with other populations from Siberia due to their cattle- and horse-breeding economy as well
as their Turkic language. On the basis of ethnological and linguistic criteria as well as population genetic studies, it has
been assumed that they originated from South Siberian populations. However, many questions regarding the origins of this intriguing
population still need to be clarified (e.g. the precise origin of paternal lineages and the admixture rate with indigenous
populations). This study attempts to better understand the origins of the Yakuts by performing genetic analyses on 58 mummified
frozen bodies dated from the 15th to the 19th century, excavated from Yakutia (Eastern Siberia). |
