The Yupik and other Eskimo people have been fairly isolated (genetically) from other humans for several thousand years. They've developed in divergent ways. How their bodies deal with HIGH levels of Omega 3 input should be expected to be much different than the way tropical peoples deal with the same quantity.

Some of the differences are known when it comes to disposing of surplus iron in their diet ~
