Ethnographic studies [21–24] indicate that the Nganasan population has formed as a result of assimilation of Paleoasian people by Samodians (including the ancestors of Tundra Entsy) coming from the south and Tunguses. According to these sources, five major ancestral Nganasan groups formed prior to the 17th century: Kuraks (Kosterkins) and Pyasid Samoyeds (Momde), who are descendants of the Paleoasians assimilated by Samodians arrived from the south; Tavgi (Chunanchar and Porbins) and Vanyadyrs (the future Vadey Nganasans) resulting from the Tungus assimilation of Paleoasians; and Tidirises (Turdagins)—descendants of Tunguses assimilated by Kuraks, Pyasid Samoeds, and ancestors of Tundra Entsy. Paleoasian and Tungus languages were lost, and Nganasans adopted Samodian as their language [21].

Yenisei Nentsy and Entsy, western neighbors of Nganasans, are closest to the latter in language and ethnic origin [24]. Nentsy, Entsy, and Nganasans have a common anthropological type with Mongoloid features increasing in this series [25].


ethnonyms in literature:
Nganasans might be called "Tavgy Samoyeds" in older literature (see, e.g., Anthropological Linguistics, volume 7 [1978], p. 33).

traditional ethnic intermarriage:

Quote:
 
The Entsy population was virtually a single source of marital migrants (mainly women) for Nganasans from the late 18th century to the 1920s.


ethnic intermarriage today:

Кривоногов 2001: Народы Таймыра, p. 184: percentage of Nganasans with two Nganasan parents:
- born between 1971 and 1975: about 75%
- born between 1976 and 1980: almost 60%
- born between 1981 and 1985: about 40%
- born between 1986 and 1990: almost 30%

Кривоногов 2001: Народы Таймыра, p. 185: ethnic ancestry of a Nganasan population (only the most common statements):
- exclusively Nganasan: 387 individuals
- Nganasan/Enet: 153
- Nganasan/Russian: 89
- Nganasan/Dolgan: 84
- Nganasan/Enet/Dolgan: 33

estimation of Russian admixture:

Goltsova et al. 2005: The Effect of Marriage Migration on the Genetic Structure of the Taimyr Nganasan Population: Genealogical Analysis Inferred from MtDNA Markers, p. 782:
interestingly, offspring of Russian males and native females is supposed to have been counted as "Russian wives". In this case the concerning women could have contributed Russian genes but not Russian mtDNA.
