Скачать или смотреть Why The Inuit Genetic Origins is So Mysterious

Discover the extraordinary story of the Inuit, whose genes reveal a history shaped by multiple migrations, dramatic population replacements, and stunning genetic adaptations to the harsh Arctic. This video guides you through more than 5,000 years of human occupation in the far north, exploring the secrets uncovered by legendary finds like the Qilakitsoq mummies and cutting-edge DNA research.

We will learn how Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA analyses illuminate the origins of today’s Inuit, tracing the rapid Thule migration, Paleo-Inuit mysteries, and the survival toolkit encoded in Inuit genes.
Discover how ancient lineage D2a connects the earliest Arctic settlers to Siberia, why haplogroup Q dominates Inuit paternal lines, and how mitochondrial DNA shows the female story — all while technological innovations like dog sleds and whalebone houses transformed Arctic life.

Dive into adaptations in the FADS and CPT1A genes for a marine diet, cold tolerance inherited from ancient humans, and how cultural, artistic, and linguistic traditions reflect both continuity and upheaval.
See why European admixture, Arctic trade, and the enigmatic Dorset culture add layers of complexity to the story.

This is the genetic journey of the Inuit — where science, survival, and history meet.
