The homeland of Proto-Tungusic inferred from contemporary words and ancient genomes [PDF]
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2020 The Tungusic languages form a language family spoken in Xinjiang, Siberia, Manchuria and the Russian Far East. There is a general consensus that these languages are genealogically related and descend from a common ancestral language, conventionally ...

Genomic Insights Into the Admixture History of Mongolic- and Tungusic-Speaking Populations From Southwestern East Asia [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 As a major part of the modern Trans-Eurasian or Altaic language family, most of the Mongolic and Tungusic languages were mainly spoken in northern China, Mongolia, and southern Siberia, but some were also found in southern China. Previous genetic surveys

Proto-Tungusic in time and space
International Journal of Eurasian Linguistics, 2022 Although there is a general consensus among historical comparative linguists that the Tungusic languages are genealogically related and descend from a common ancestral language, the internal structure of the family, its age, homeland and prehistoric cultural context remain subject to debate. In addition to four competing concepts of classification, the

Мiryachit: A Culture‐Specific Startle Syndrome in the Saami People [PDF]
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 807-816, June 2025.Abstract Background Miryachit is perhaps the most complex and least understood of the culture‐specific startle syndromes that include latah and the jumping Frenchmen of Maine. Objectives We carried out a field study to evaluate startle‐induced paroxysms in the Saami to determine if it is still endemic and, if so, to contrast it with the available ...

Male-Dominated Migration and Massive Assimilation of Indigenous East Asians in the Formation of Muslim Hui People in Southwest China [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The origin and diversification of Muslim Hui people in China via demic or simple cultural diffusion is a long-going debate. We here generated genome-wide data at nearly 700,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 45 Hui and 14 Han Chinese ...
