Description
Northwestern Sibirid contact type, influenced by strong Tungid and possibly Lappid elements. Has migrated to the Yamal peninsula and surrounding regions during the Middle Ages from a more southern place, possibly the Minusinsk Basin or Altai-Sajan region. Typified by the Nenets, also in Enets, and mixed in Selkups and Nganasans. Until the 19th century, relict populations existed in the Altai Mountains.[1]

Mildly leptorrhine or mesorrhine, slightly prominent nose. The face is flat and fleshy with large, protruding cheekbones. Body hair weak, the Mongolian fold is found regularly.
