Odd to see Inuit pluralized with a trailing s. FWIW, they are referred to as "the Inuit" in Canada.
EDIT: I see from the document gwern posted that "Inuits" does not appear in it, only in the HN title.

A strange thing I've found is that while ICU has all kinds of support for proper localization of plurals if you have a number in your UI, if there's no number then you still have to write `if (n == 1) singular else plural;`. Is that really serving people who want a dual/few/many distinction?
The title makes it seem like only the inuit who live in the arctic have these genes. But I doubt that's the case.
In Alaska, besides the Native American tribes ("Indians") that also live in some of the same areas, there are Inupiat, Yupik, and Aleut. The Inupiat are fairly closely related in culture and language to the Canadian Inuit, but the Yupik and Aleut are considerably further apart in terms of language. Calling a Yupik an "Inuit" is sort of like calling an Italian "French" just because they both speak a Romance language. They tend to not like that very much. :-)
A twist on this is that even though Native American sounds more correct (doesn't imply being from India, is longer and bureaucratic), they'd actually rather be called Indians. It helps to claim it's short for Indigenous.
