Generation length in the Yakut population in the XVIII-XIX centuries
https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2023.83.05
Abstract
The intergenerational time interval in the Sakha people (Yakuts) was determined by an analysis of genealogical data of 712 families from Namsky, Verkhnekolymsky, Srednekolymsky, Nizhnekolymsky and Elgetsky districts recorded in the 18th – 19th centuries. The male generation interval in the Yakuts averaged 35.7 years, the female generation interval was 30.5 years, which is much higher than the mean general intervals used earlier in population-genetic studies for calculating the time of genetic divergence by the Y chromosome (31-32 years) and mtDNA (25-28 years).
