'The last mülen' killed by a Yakut hunter

A 1933 article by the geologist Pyotr Dravert reported that the last of the wild mülen people had been killed by a Yakut in 1913.

1913 CE · 66.77, 123.37 · status: claim

The account

Dravert argued that a small, rare human-like population really lived in northern Yakutia. The ethnographer Gavriil Ksenofontov answered that the stories belonged to beliefs about mountain and forest spirits.

The sceptical view

No remains or first-hand testimony support the 1913 killing.
