Talk:Koryaks

message: You probably mean mongolid and not mongoloid (with the 3rd O), the latter being a serious medical condition and most probably offending for the Koryaks, as it implies mental deficiencies. -- Szabi 22:21, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That’s right, more or less. "Mongoloid" means "resembling the Mongols" and is one of the three old anthropological racial types: Mongoloid, Negroid, Caucasoid. In recent decades, these terms have come to be seen as too imprecise and impractical, and are now rarely used by anthropologists in this sense. Mongoloid still has the meaning of "resembling the Mongols," however. Mongoloid also has the meaning that Szabi ascribes to it, i.e., pertaining to a pathological condition known as mongolism, but in this sense it usually is not capitalized: mongoloid, mongalism. And in this regard, I believe the medical profession no longer uses the term much, preferring more precise names such as Down syndrome instead. —Stephen 09:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

this article claims there are more Koryaks in Kamchatka alone!
Well, at least one of the articles must be incorrect?

thread_title:  number way too low, even contradict number in Kamchatka 

message: There is some extreme cultural bias in this article that needs to be fixed.  Why is there little mention of early, traditional history?  Where are a list of notable Koryaks?  This article should be put on some list that experts look at soon.CharlesRobertCountofNesselrode 23:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The passage in the article currently reads like a classical story of fictional savages.  It probably is one. Digwuren 12:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bias

message: The comment in this article that the Koryaks themselves colonized Haida Gwaii, and then all of North and South America (!) is obviously absurd and should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:B9C1:1A00:FD7E:B5FF:73E6:5F84 (talk) 15:48, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoever added this has probably been overreading genetic research results. The split between Siberian and American populations goes 20 millennia back, far before the Koryaks or even the entire Chukotko-Kamchatkan family had formed. --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 00:24, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
