Scientists worked this out from their blood type and their small hands and feet, which is a predominant trait in Asian countries. Blood type is hereditary, that means it is passed on through your family, and all Eskimo have blood type B.Eskimo culture was completely adapted to the cold Arctic conditions and harsh winters with temperatures around minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit and only a glimmer of sunlight at dawn and dusk.
