I recently saw a program about tracing DNA from Africa
to North America. They visited some reideer herders in
Siberia who had similar attributes. The narrator was
bundled up in a huge parka and still freezing, while
the herders dressed very lightly and performed tasks
with bare hands in sub-zero temps. They have adapted
over time to the cold by a natural increase in capillary
bloodflow to their extremities.

I don't think it is directly related to diet.
