Genetic study The Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans

By the way, I am not saying that Nganasans genetically represent the Proto-Uralic population but they have preserved the Siberian ancestry the most compared to other Uralic people.

...or they have lost the European ancestry. It all comes to the question: what was the genetic composition of Proto-Uralic speakers? To know that, we should take the linguistic results as the starting point. We cannot just decide that they consisted of 100 % Yakutia ancestry. And even less we can then argue circularly that because of that 100 % Yakutia ancestry, Proto-Uralic was spoken in Yakutia. Unfortunately internet is full of such unscientific circular reasoning by laymen who believe they can see language from DNA or genetic continuity, when that is impossible in this shared reality.

Yes, I wrote it.
