Alleged ethnic continuity

Archeological discoveries throughout the Seward Peninsula show proof that Inupiat Eskimos have been living in the region for thousands of years.

That's highly unlikely and also directly conflicts with the assertion at Eskimo#Languages that Seward Peninsula dialects in Western Alaska, where much of the Inupiat culture has only been in place for perhaps less than 500 years, are greatly affected by phonological influence from the Yupik languages, and of course the assertion at Eskimo–Aleut languages that [t]he Eskimo language family divided into the Yupik and Inuit branches around 1000 CE. There may have been people living in the Seward Peninsula millennia ago, but they were no more identifiable with the Inupiat Eskimos than Turks with Proto-Hattians or Hittites. Turks cannot be said to have been living in Anatolia for thousands of years – that is a glaring anachronism. Archaeological discoveries cannot prove ethnic continuity on this scale. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 00:04, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

You're right. I just removed that sentence. Dylanvt (talk) 21:15, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
