DNA testing is all the rage, I’m just not inuit. [tiny rimshot]

The “genetic flaw in the neck” mentioned in the article was the basis for the claim. I have no idea what that is.

Blam’s DNA swab test thingee showed a haplotype more or less isolated and commonplace among the Lapps.

Sami, or Saami. They hate being called Lapps.

I don't know of any such 'neck' marker amoungst the Sa'ami. The DNA (probably from a tooth) could quickly solve the riddle. The Sa'ami are mainly haplogroup U5 and 'V' while the Inca are more likely to be haplogroup A, B ,C.

Could that explain this mystery?
