2010]. - 402 Anthropology The analysis of numerous hypotheses about the physical, ethnic and linguistic origins of Yukagirs is beyond the scope of this study. However, it should noted that they are thought to descendants of the ancient population of Northeast Siberia, and the origin of their culture is traced back to the Late Neolithic Ymiyakhtakh traditions. Some have argued that in ancient times Yukagirs lived east of the Yenisei and on the Sayan mountains and were part of the Uralian language unity, and also that the proto-Yukagirs belonged to the oldest stratum of Uralic-speaking populations which moved to East Siberia 201 The addition of new comparative evidence, dental and cranial, together with the results of intersystem comparisons based on multivariate statistics allows to expand the search for affinities of the people up to the Lena and Kolyma basins. Unfortunately, the Yukagir cranial and dental materials are not representative enough to used for statistical analysis. Overall, the skeletal and genetic evidence clearly reveals eastern affinities of the people. One can speak about two components of Asian origin that contributed to the formation of this group. One of them was definitely connected with the populations of ancient Ural, West Siberia and the Altai-Sayan mountains. This component links the series not only with the Bronze Age people of this region, but also with modern Ugric-speaking people. The second component, which is somewhat underrepresented compared to the first one, was related to the Neolithic populations of North and Northeastern Siberia, such as the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age Ymiyakhtakh culture people.
