DNA analysis of human hair preserved in Greenland's permafrost has given clues as to what the owner looked like.

He’d have been the first Khan if he’d gone in the right direction.

"Chuckchis and the Koryaks" ~ these are considered the indigenous peoples of NE Siberia. There are others who live in the vast spaces between population centers ~ e.g. the Evenks and the Yakuts.

Two things struck me. The Chuckchis and Koryaks are Reindeer Herders "inland" and Fishermen on the coast. They differ primarily in language, but it's all part of a small group.

Fishing and reindeer herding (as distinct from hunting) are not big time activities in Greenland ~ if at all ~ so that meant these people were living on nothing but seal and dogmeat. Although they were "cold adapted" I doubt they were totally devoid of a need for something besides fat and protein. Neither were their dogs. Maybe they found a source of seaweed. When it died out they died out. Or maybe modern Eskimo decendents of the Yakut/Sakha had them over for dinner?
