Inuit and their predecessors

[Duncan Head]

A new "genetic prehistory" provides the best picture ever assembled of how the North American Arctic was populated, from 6,000 years ago to the present.

DNA sequences from living and ancient inhabitants show a single influx from Siberia produced all the "Paleo-Eskimo" cultures, which died out 700 years ago. Modern-day Inuit and Native Americans arose from separate migrations.

I note that Mick Yarrow Miniatures makes an Inuit range, should anyone feel the need to wargame this.

George Dick, a Scottish wargamer of my acquaintance, used the MY Inuit to make an Early (far) Northern Barbarian army, complete with snowball-throwing skirmishers

Speaking of George, I bought a Black Sheep/Turkoman army off George and converted it into a Siberian Tribes Renaissance army, DBR Book 2, List 11. Have done well in competitions with it.
