Mitochondrial genome diversity on the Central Siberian Plateau with particular reference to the prehistory of northernmost Eurasia

“…Their related tribes, the Assan, Arin, and Kott, disappeared approximately 200 years after their first contact with Russians [ 5 ]. In this region, the Ket are the last tribe to retain their original language and until recent times subsisted entirely on hunting, fishing, and the gathering of wild plants [ 2 , 19 , 20 ]. The Tofalar and Todzhi languages, whose members originally spoke Samoyed, belong to the subgroup of Turkic languages confined to the upper Yenisei area [ 21 – 23 ], where their speakers may have had ample opportunity to exchange genes with the Ket and/or related tribes [ 5 ].…”

“…Formerly called Yenisei Ostyak (the census of 1897 recorded 988 persons), the Ket people are thought to be descendants of some of the earliest inhabitants of Central Siberia, while all of their present-day neighbors seem to be relative newcomers. In the 18 th century, some of the Ket were forcibly moved to the lands between the Ob and Yenisei Rivers, where the Selkup, speaking a language belonging to the Samoyed group of the Uralic language family, lived [ 2 , 5 , 19 ]. Until recently, there were no more than 500 Ket living in a few riverside villages in the middle reaches of the Yenisei; as in the past, many survive as seasonal hunters, trappers, and fishers.…”
