Abstract

This chapter focuses on the last migration from Siberia into the Americas –the dispersal of the Aleuts and Eskimos. We will examine: 1) the molecular and archaeological evidence for the settlement of the Aleutian Islands; 2) the phylogenetic relationship of the Aleuts to the Yupikand Inupikspeaking Eskimos; 3) the distribution of genes along the archipelago (i.e. the genetic structure) resulting from the patterns of settlement of the islands throughout the Holocene.
