Are Finns European? 🇫🇮

- Finns have a fascinating and unique history, but some people think they are more Asian (like the Saami) than European (FUGG XDXDXD)
Although Finns don't speak an Indo-European language, they have many ancient Indo-European words, their pagan religion was heavily influenced by Aryan religion and their DNA has a lot of Yamnaya (steppe) DNA which they got from the Corded Ware culture.
Learn the history of the Finns, their language, their gods like Ukko and Perkele and their DNA.

Finland is also, only one country away from North Korea...
"So in a way, they're the most europian people in europe, and in another way they're the least europian people in europe."
Now that is poetic.

Mongolians shared ancestors with Siberians and close to Finns by identity according to recent scientific paper published on Nature genetics. I think Mongolians are eastern Asians. They might mix with other ethnicities when they migrated to Europe.
This guy is talking about 1 group only, he is leaving out the 3 other sub groups of finns.
In Finnish old culture the language was also considered as magical. Saying thing's true name allowed to summon them to your side. For example knowing bears true name and using it would make the bear come to you. Similar thing applies to Perkele. Yes it's a "curse word" but it's mostly used only in situations where Finnish person feels great aggression and is about to hit something (thunder/strikegod). Think it as something similar as what dragonborns have in skyrim.
That's why we have so many different words for bears because you know you don't really want to be constantly summoning bears
You are on the Academic level! Kudos! Keep it up!
The idea that you shouldn't say an animal's name or else you will summon it is the same in Swedish (iirc other Germanic languages as well). The etymological root för "björn" (bear) in Swedish is literally "the brown". So when you say "brown bear" you say "brown brown".
Wolves are interesting because "varg" comes from the word for "outcast".
@@onnihalme8819 Yes the word for bear is usually a euphemism, as in "medved" in Slavic languages meaning "honey pig," and " bruin" meanng btown.
very interesting!
We are not Swedish and we dont want to be Russian. Let us be Finns

Some corrections
1. Asiatic (siberian DNA) entered Finland earlier than 2000 years ago. A study since this video was published pushes this back to about 3500 years ago. I said only 2000 because of limited data available at the time the video was made in 2017 www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07483-5
2. Western Hunter Gatherers were not the first people in Europe, but they are the most archaic population to have contributed significantly to modern European peoples' DNA. Eastern Hunter Gatherers were also in Finland during the Mesolithic and also contributed to Saami and Finnish DNA.
3. I mispronounced Finno-Ugric repeatedly throughout the video as URGIC instead of UGRIC.
4. The narrative I presented of Finnic displacing Saami is speculative. We know it happened but the exact time and way that this occurred is speculative.
You have it just about right. So what I am 184cm tall and blond. Do I have to take DNA with my farther?
I follow First Nations people in Nunavut. I will be damned, it does seem similar (the way it is spelled, with so many vowels, although slightly bit more guttural sounding even sounds like Finnish) to Finnish can't put my finger on how... but it's there. You guys been chilling with Siberians for a while ? And I am white and Yaqui Indian. My ancestors are from Siberia ! Well, some are.
Finland ,as a Nation State becomes from filosofer Hegel. We all are and will be mixt "races"...
Flo Antiesse whole early resident people pre Russia was Mongoloid. Christians came and did what they do best. They fucked up the Tatars in this side of the map. In America they fucked up the natives populations... during our hunter and gather phase, mongoloid people were the most dominant inhabitant in the Earth.

My first girlfriend was Finnish. I used to teach her Swedish and she taught me basic Finnish. I really adore their language, it really is unique and one of the most natural sounding languages I have heard in Europe. Really beautiful. I don't know about other people, but as a legitimate Scandinavian person, I see them as their own people, but are Scandinavian to me as I consider them part of my ethnic group.
Finns are Finnic by ethnicity, not scandinavian.
Might have some different genetics but are brothers nonetheless
I'm not sure it's really race-traitor material, it's just not in line with the more hardliner ethno-nationalistic ethos.
I don't consider inter-European marriage (dating, in this case) to be race-betrayal, anyway, though people should, and the generally encouraged approach should be too, marry within ones' own ethnic/National group.
@peter parker
@peter parker About 40% of the western Finns are genetically Swedes and Germans (M253). So, unless you're dating a Sámi, you're dating in your own race. Not that it would matter, there is nothing wrong with mixing with Asians, so long as all cultures remain.
@@valken666 So which one then, Swedes or Germans? Or maybe Norwegians or Danes (both Norway and Denmark rate about twice as high as Germany)?
Oh, my, for a Finn, this was extremely interesting... And I actually think it describes very well the current Finnish culture: being outsiders but the originals at the same time... :)
I watch finland videos cause Estonia is too small to make videos about :D
@@prapa5521 Estonians are the closest cousins of Finns. All other peoples in between were wiped out at some point or another.
Finns lived there longer than anyone. My father said we were the *joggers of Scandinavia because we are ancient, but were owned by everyone who came after throughout our history and had our language, religion, and culture taken from us.
Why are finns outsiders?
Basically according to vanDriem's Father Tongue Theory and y-DNA Haplogroup percentages among modern Finns, it is obvious that Finns still very much have their original Uralic language and culture because of Y-DNA haplogroup from their paternal line, Haplogroup N1a1-TAT accounting for approx 60% of modern Finnish male population (as high as 90% in some parts of eastern Finland like Savo). But at the same time Finns have a lot of indigenous European mtDNA haplogroup U5, just like the Sami. This suggests that the Finns (and Sami) were the product of an admixture between a bunch of Uralic males who came from the east, dominated the region and mixed with local European women. And its not difficult to tell that the so-called "Aryans" as described in the video were the ones being subjugated, because the word 'orja' in most Finnic languages today means 'slave'. Because of the bottleneck effect and the limited geneflow from the east, gradually the descendants of these Uralic men who intermarried with local European women became more and more 'European' overall in terms of autosomal DNA.
Finns, Sami and Estonians have some of the highest European Hunter-gatherer autosomal DNA today in Europe, as a result, and much less Anatolian farmer DNA. Finns, Sami, Estonians have more European hunter-gatherer autosomal DNA than Swedes, Norwegians or Germans. But at the same time their Y-DNA paternal lineage is very much Uralic / Finno-Ugric.

Can you give a source to Hungarians being of Hunnic descent? As I understand it the tribe of magyars fled from the huns as they were expanding towards Europe.
Thank you for this! Having gotten incredibly interested about where we come from in the past year or so (psychedelics-cough), I hadn't remembered to look into the history of Finland since my great grandmother was Finnish! Now I feel like there is a treasure trove of cool stories to learn about, and I think I need to visit Finland.
Love your accent/voice. I know for you it isn't an accent but since I'm American it is an accent to me. Interesting info on Finland and its people. Thank you.
Finno-Ugric is a macro subgroup of the Uralic language family. The Finno-Ugric is broken down into micro subgroups Baltic-Finnic in which Finnish, Estonian, Karelain, Veps, Livonian, Igarian, and Votic; The Ugarian group includes Mansi, Hungarians, and Khanty; the Finno-Permic members of this group includes Komi and Udmurt; Sami is it's own group; and Finno-Volgaic which Mari and Mordvinic belong. Their is also another major Subgroup called Samoyedic which is divided into Northern Samoyedic in which the Nenets and Enets belong too; and Southern Samoyedic which Selkup belong. The Uralic language family is believed to have emerged in the Ural mountain.
Tuğrul Its finno-ugric. Altaic languages are mongolian, central asian and etc
@Tuğrul Altaic is a sprachbund, not a linguistic family.
@Tuğrul I'm pretty sure the argument for Altaic not being real was that modern Altaic languages are more similar today than the proto-languages were.
Modern Mongolian and Uygher for example are closer than Old Mongolian and Old Turkish. Which are barely related.
And also that Proto-Mongolian and Proto-Turkish are even less similar.
Finnish the same people from Tatarstan (republic inside of Russia). The same faces
@Draken ahahahah. The most ridiculous claim I've ever heard about Germanic. The germans are slavs! Learn who has Finnish genes. Opinionated!
Finns are excluded from the Scandinavian "elite" club. Finns are NOT Scandinavian. Finns were the only nation of the Nordic people who managed to effectively defend themselves in the second world war. We are not Scandinavians, we are Finns.
We are Finns and honorary Aryans!
Lol, "successful defended themselves in the second world war" by surrendering to Stalin and giving him more land than he asked for and paying him reparations for all of his losses, 13% of Finns losing their homes, then trying to get it back but getting raped in the Continuation war?.
Check the statistics of the war you dumbfuck, lets see you go fight 1vs10 russians, because thats what every finn did in that war.
Pena Pallo it wasn't like that, 20% of the Soviet soldiers died of frostbite before they even crossed the border into Finland. Half of them didn't have guns, Stalin had purged all the experienced generals and the Soviet soldiers in Finland were poorly equipped Ukrainians that had no idea what they were doing.
Why do you think the finns had it any diffrent? they cant feel the cold? finns were just farmers who had to leave their home to the border woods to defend their country, soviet had 3k tanks and air force, while finland had 32, that didnt really prove your point.
My grand mother was from Finland and a decendant of the Samii people. She and her family were from Laihia and around that area. She also mentioned Upsala in Sweden. All my relatives spoke Finnish when we were together and I picked up some of it through conversation. I find it very interesting from a family point of view. I have wanted to learn more about Finland and your videos are really very good. Thank you for uploading such interesting content. Very good!
They’re ethnically and culturally European, but are linguistically unique.
@theDNgamer Likely yes, all of them. The time of high Asian mixture was only about 300 a.d. and that was the result of 2000-2500 years of Asiatic Sami migration an living in Finland. Then the "final wave" of more southern "Sami" people came trough Estonia 1000+ years ago and brought the Finnish language (or what would become one) with them. And these people too likely had the haplo-group N. (Asian origins). So because the timeline is so long it's highly likely that yes ALL Finns have some Asian DNA. (note this means ETHNIC Finns, nothing to do with nationality. People really want to conflate the 2.)
@theDNgamer Just shows you have 0 clue how genetics works. Genes for eye and hair color are around 0.000001% of your genome. So even a pitch black African can have bright blue eyes and blond hair if they just get those right genes.

So the comb-ware culture people were not Finnic according to you? Comb-ware culture predates cord-ware culture by a few thousand years in Finland. Usually comb-ware culture has been associated with Fenno-Ugric peoples. I've been under the impression that "Finnish" broke from Earlyprotofinnic, the root of "Sami" and "Finnish", due to the influence of the cord-ware people spreading to the coastal areas some 2000 BC.
@@finnicpatriot6399
You do realize that both the Finns and the Sami descend from the same language root? The Sami languages are much closer to Earlyprotofinnic than the Finnish language at the moment, thanks to the many influences the latter language has absorbed from around the Baltic sea.

I will say this: I am fascinated and impressed with Finland! The Kalevala gave Tolkien (among others) such a powerful inspiration; in it the Finns not only have a mythology comparable to the Greek or Norse, but their own Odyssey as well. And the same country has given us Sibelius and Rautavaara, these incredible composers. And the language- one of the nearest non-Indo-European languages to the lands of my own Scottish and Scandinavian ancestors. And as a historian, one more thing; the Finns living for a thousand years around this great international crossroads that rose up around Novgorod, and later on Saint Petersburg! What a fantastic and fascinating country!
I will add: what a wonderfully detailed, thorough and scientific video! This is advanced graduate-school stuff, at least!
I found several problems in the video. Although everything in my reply wasn't criticism, some was further information. Anyhow I think this video has enough bad information, I would delete it. Too bad near 700k have seen it.
Also it is borderline racist asking this whole question. After all, Indo-Europeans have Asiatic prehistory as well. There's nothing strange about it, nothing different in the Sami or Finns. In fact everyone who have studied Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Chalcolithic Europe, have seen them big arrows pointing from Siberia to Europe.
@@nobody-special000 Oh you want full on racist? Not so surprising in this channel. Reading the comments it is pretty common here.
@@Aurinkohirvi I am Lithuanian and I am fascinated about our language having very crazy similarities with Sanskrit. we literally have many words similar sounding and having identical meaning.
Most of Europeans are pretty much Asians long time ago....😂
But Indo European are specifically from what we call India these days. Like I assume because people from Indus Valley migrated.
It's very interesting because Indians are Caucasoids, amongst Mongoloid people
I think they are the only Caucasoid people in far east Asia.
So it makes sense that folks from there migrated and those was who populated (most of) Europe.
Obviously those things have no impact today. Lithuanian language is the closest to Sanskrit but even that is very different language. The connections are just very distant.
But a linguist from Sanskrit and a linguist from Lithuanian language can actually guess pretty complex phrases.

Strange to hear very old Lithuanian language words, like "Kunigas" and "Perkūnas" Perkoonas.
Kuningas is a proto-german loanword (originally Kuningaz), as are the Finnish words "ruhtinas" (from Druhtinaz), "turisas" (from Thurisaz) and "kaunis" (from Kauniz)
The English word King is of the same root.
'From Middle English king, kyng, from Old English cyng, cyning (“king”), from Proto-Germanic *kuningaz, *kunungaz (“king”), equivalent to kin + -ing. Cognate with Scots keeng (“king”), North Frisian köning (“king”), West Frisian kening (“king”), Dutch koning (“king”), Low German Koning, Köning (“king”), German König (“king”), Danish konge (“king”), Norwegian konge, Swedish konung, kung (“king”), Icelandic konungur, kóngur (“king”), Finnish kuningas (“king”), Russian князь (knjazʹ, “prince”), княги́ня (knjagínja, “princess”).'

By the way, I wonder if Finnish word "heimo" (tribe) has a link to the German word "heimat" (home)? Heimo would be in plural "heimot". Their sound is very similar and both their meaning relates to the soil.
I'm Hungarian and my maternal grandfather's family are Seklers from the Bukovina region. His haplogroup is N-L1034. Among the so called 'Hungarian conquerors' there was also some individuals with haplogroup N. So definitely there have been some contact. My mtdna is H11 A1 and according to the DNA site where I've had the test done shows loads of mtDNA relatives in Finland.
Interesting
What about the Udmurts?
I believe red hair in Hungary and Ireland (partially, they got Scandinavian DNA too)might originate from somewhere around Siberia.
Both the Udmurts and Scythians had/have the gene for red hair and while Tom was wrong about Hungarians not having ANY Asian DNA (most really don't)i think there's evidence of genetic connections between Uralics/Siberians and Scythians in the form of those characteristics in people with ancient Hungarian DNA.
Same here - are we related?
I believe the Finns are a unique people who are definitely part of European culture. Being ethnically Russian I was always taught by my parents that they are brave and skillful people to respected.
Believe me northwest Indians and some nepalese are caucasian having r1A haplotype European genes and are closest to Europeans genetically. They are the descendants of indo European aryans who established indian civilization ancient indian civilization. Buddha for example was a Prince from the Sakhyan tribe of ancient Nepal and the Sakhyans were the descendants of indo European Sycthians who entered india along with the Acheneid Persian army of Cyrus the Great in 6th century bc.

Great English BTW. Congratulations.
Don't forget the great smith Ilmarinen (earlier Ilmamoinen) who according to Kalevala made the sky dome and the pole supporting it (sampo). It is thought that this was the original sky god borrowed from the Indo-European butin the iron age, he was "demoted" to a magical smith. He was still important, of course, the poem on smelting of iron being his. "Taivas" (sky) is a very old indo-European loanword as is "jumala" (god).
Please do a video on ancient Irish/Scottish Celtic mythology and heritage! It's rarely discussed these days, but is fascinating nonetheless!
Please this
There is certainly similarities but also some nuance that makes Celtic-Paganism distinct.

I didn't connect the two (Odin and Gwydion) until I came across this blog post a while back, but I agree. Definitely a possibility.

The Irish and Scottish are not Celts. They do however have a Celtic culture. Celts lived in Central Europe and their culture spread westward as far as Ireland.

Are you Pagan?
This video is blowing my mind...I am a collector and I have a number of small ancient artifacts and I am discovering so much..I will have a question for you at a later time.. this is incredibly important info to me!
Based on molecular data, a population bottleneck among ancestors of modern Finns is estimated to have occurred about 4000 years ago.[3] This bottleneck resulted in exceptionally low diversity in the Y chromosome, estimated to reflect the survival of just two ancestral male lineages.[13][14] The distribution of Y chromosome haplotypes within Finland is consistent with two separate founding settlements, in eastern and western Finland.[15] The population bottleneck is seen only in the Y chromosome. Genetic diversity in autosomal chromosomes and in mitochondrial DNA (maternally inherited) is as high among Finns as among other European ethnic groups.[15]
The Finnish disease heritage has been attributed to this 4000-year-old bottleneck.[3] The geographic distribution and family pedigrees associated with some Finnish heritage disease mutations has linked the enrichment in these mutations to multiple local founder effects, some associated with a period of "late settlement" in the 16th century (see History of Finland).[16]
As a Estonian I was pretty much thought this at school. Basically as the ice age retreated the original people to live here where the same that colonized other parts of Europe, hunter gatherers that moved with the ice retreating and settled new areas.
Then most likely several waves of immigrants shifted the culture totally, most likely as this video explained they had better technology and their ways of farming took over, alongside language and culture.
What I didn't know at all is that Sami where that much different to Finnish people and that Estonia was the side that the "mostly Finnish" came from.
I do get the "most and least European" though. Finno Ugric people at those lands kind of stopped mixing with others and hence their slow adaption to a farming culture they were kind of isolated and grew slowly, this allowed another culture to take over yet they still, due to less interbreeding, remained with the highest original hunter gatherer European Genes.
So while the gene mix was drastic in some sense it was in one short "swoop". They still held on to their most original ancestry.
Hence if you want to see a "modern caveman" our how a proto-European most likely looked like, look at Finnic people as our mix of genes is still the most proto-European you can have, yet we have a dip in Asian genes so the genes we have mixed with are so foreign that no other European nation really has.
Hence the most and least European sentence is very beautifully said.
Your comment is a great unpacking of this video. Very clear. I hope you are teaching.
Everything about Finland is just awesome!
Except its political and economic system. And that the majority of Finns are totally authority conditioned npc.

@@AimForMyHead81 No. More socialist, more beaurocratic, more naïve, more virtue signaling etc. Less solidarity and fairness to the own population and no respect to the legacy or actual freedom. Basically neoslaves who willfully do the slave controlling for the owners and their lackeys. Even shorter: womanized.
With the current mentality and conditioned& incompetent herd mentality 'leadership' it is not a question of if the nation will crack in pieces, it is a question of how soon and how they delay by 'borrowing time'. First the population get 'acclimatized' to the new normals and so they are blind to the detriments. At this time they do more of the same and expect different results.
Those npc's of course will disregard this comment as hyperbole, but generations to come and a minority of today recognize the truth in it.
If one's spirit in the first place does not naturally understand personal responsibility, communal stability and prosperity based on freedom and fairness, and thankfulness to the ancestors, it is not something that can be taught or learned for good leadership.
The (fake) representative democracy or rather the party mob rule assumes the masses are virtuous, brave and wise philosophers that have great discernment with an eagle's view. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I´we readed that Rurik king of Varjags and founder of Novgorod was Baltic Finnish from somewhere near or from Roslagen area (that time there were Finnish tribes). There was also Estonians in his Varjag Viking army.
And btw i like your videos also :D
@Teemu - Very good English, but the start should be "I've read" as in "I have read". The present "read" pronounced "reed" and the past "read" pronounced "red".
A short comment:
If you read the Kalevala, I suggest you also take a look at 'Kalevala Mythology' by Juha Pentikäinen.
There are actually many parallels between the Nordic sagas and the Kalevala:
The chanting duel between Väinämöinen and Joukahainen resembles the battle of wits between Odin and Vafthrudnir.
Both probably represent a magic struggle between shamans of different tribes.
The Bosa Saga and the Sampo Cycle are similar in numerous aspects: Both tell the story of men's journey to the north (the land of women) and both tales end with the battle against a dragon-like creature: Flogdreki in the Bosa Saga and the transformed Louhi the mistress of Pohjola in the Sampo Cycle.
Whether the Saami are the indigenous people of Scandinavia: The Saami of Finland have the same amount of East Asian admixture as a non-Saami Finn. Swedish and Norwegian Saami have low East Asian admixture, not higher than most Swedes and Norwegians. Saami have more East Asian mt-haplogroups than Finns, but less y-haplogroup N1c. The second most common y-haplogroup in Saami is I1, which is associated with the WHG. The Saami as a whole have more ANE and WHG admixture than Swedes and Norwegians: That makes me think that the Saami are of dual origin with both European and Siberian affinities. The ancestors of today's Saami over time were pushed farther north, because their land extensive reindeer
nomadism came into conflict with the slash-and-burn agriculture of the ancient Finns (all information from the dodecad admixture maps of Eupedia).
I actually know of one individual with y-haplogroup N and mt-haplogroup G2a1 (mtdna G is most common in today's Ainu and Japanese) who lived in what is now modern day Hungary approximately 900 bc (Gamba, Christian et al. (2014): Genome flux and stasis in a five millennium transect of European prehistory, p. 3, table 1).
Super interesting video. Subscribed 👍
Thanks for sharing this fascinating post about Finns.
This video should be removed. Too bad so many, over six hundred thousand I see, got erroneous info from this.
Very interesting video. Im from Romania and I admire Finland. Keep up the good work.
I honestly find the whole focus on the Finns and whether or not they're European a bit silly. Why would it matter where they originally came from? Their culture is absolutely European and has been for a hell of a long time no matter where the first people in the area might have come from. While they don't belong to the Northern Germanic (Scandinavian) group like the Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, culturally those three countries/cultures are clearly who the modern Finns resemble the most.
Wikipedia on Finns refer to DNA studies:
"With regard to the Y-chromosome, the most common haplogroups of the Finns are N1c (59%), I1a (28%), R1a (5%) and R1b (3.5%).[38] Haplogroup N1c, which is found mainly in a few countries in Europe (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Russia), is a subgroup of the haplogroup N (Y-DNA) distributed across northern Eurasia and estimated in a 2006 study to be 10,000-20,000 years old and suggested to have entered Europe about 12,000-14,000 years ago from Asia.[39]"
"Finns show very little if any Mediterranean and African genes but on the other hand almost 10% of Finnish genes seem to be shared with Siberian populations. Nevertheless, more than 80% of Finnish genes are from a single ancient Northeastern European population, while most Europeans are a mixture of 3 or more principal components.[45"
I mean, if some of their DNA originates in Asia 12-14k years ago.. So what? I mean, the pyramids are only from like 2000-3000 BC. 12-14k years is so long ago that most of what today we consider culture wasn't even around yet. We're talking right around the time when the most basic kind of agriculture came about. It's not like they were a bunch of Asians who came in with Samurai swords and Chinese architecture etc. We're talking pre-stone age.
The part about the Finns sharing haplogroup with Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians and Russians shouldn't really surprise anyone. It's not like there was a people around actively looking for the hardest possible place to live in, so of course humans slowly expanded north. As long as there was good land available in southern Sweden (for example) why would anyone want to settle further north and just make their lives harder for themselves? It would make no sense.
So it seems logical that people would start expanding from the Baltic region, from the western Russian region etc. to find places to live, and since Finland (of today) is right next door, it would be stranger if they didn't share any DNA with each other honestly.
What makes it even more pointless to talk about Finns being Asians *today* is obviously their history with their neighbors Sweden and Russia. There's obviously bound to be some Finns with mostly Slavic roots and others with mostly Germanic roots today because of that history, and a lot of Finns with both Slavic *and* Germanic roots either due to Russians and Swedes simply settling in what is now Finland or due to intermarriage.
So of course Finns are Europeans. They live in Europe and their culture is clearly a European one. Their history is also intertwined with other parts of European history. If those things don't make a people European, then what exactly does? No ethnic group ever just popped up in Europe one day, they all came from somewhere else.
ninetythree's hyvä että joku osaa olla rehellinen itselleen💪🏼
ninetythree's The Finn's proper, also known as the "original Finns", are the tribe that have lived in Finland the longest(mainly Tavastians). There's evidence of them living in southwest Finland since stone age.
If you want to talk about the "original" Finnish culture and people, that's them and they weren't Asian, neither culturally or genetically.
Why does it bother you
Racism is a good thing, if people would be more racist, they would just look at the Finnish people, and realise quite fast we are very much alike. Facial features, eyes, hair. How can anyone with half a brain say fins are not european?
Found the binn
Just to clarify, the Germanic loanwords were not borrowed to Finnish through Saami, as you seem to imply at the end (maybe this was just unclear sentence), but were borrowed directly through contacts with proto-Germanics. Saami independently borrowed some Germanic words, there is a PhD dissertation available for free (in English) on this topic (University of Helsinki). Also, the modern theory on settlement of Finland is not quite as straightforward "Volkswanderung" either for Finns or Saami, SW-Finland being inhabited by various groups (Germanic, Finnic and "indigenous", i.e. corded ware/local hunter-gatherer mix), who then started to move Eastward in 300 AD and push Saami (and mix with them) north. This year we should learn more about the DNA but it is noteworthy that all (5?) males from Luistari (the richest Merovingian/Viking age cemetery in Finland) were apparently N1c. Maybe not totally surprising, though as the Germanic settlements were concentrated closer to the sea but still of note since the Bronze age in this area is described as Scandinavian in style. On the other hand, last year's Viking DNA paper found lot's of N1c in Mälaren, among those buried in Salme-ships and even in English Viking age burials, so the picture is getting more diverse in this respect. Finally, the famous "Janakkala swordsman" was found to be R1b but with wholly Finnish admixture. Unfortunately the Finnish soil does not preserve any DNA beyond 2000 years, so we are reliant on secondary testing. They are currently trying to extract DNA from Finnish stone age "chewing gum" as they have done in Sweden, though. PS: I though Corded Ware were (predominantly) cattle keepers, I doubt they would have attempted farming in Tromso, even if the climate was warmer then.
Also his video is full of errors.
Errr... I didn't quite get why you're talking about Bronze Age explaining Luistari cemetary somehow.
If you are speaking era before 500AD it wasn't yet Sami-language, it would be Proto-Sami language. Also the idea of Finns "starting to push" (Proto-)Samic people ahead of them is unnecessarily violent. Speaking Proto-Samic language does not even mean the person was an ethnic Sami. It is just the name of this language phase, ethnicity of the speakers is unknown.. and like found later in the comment, ethnicities were probably several: generally agreed.
The current view of Sami language history is that Proto-Samic (or Pre-Proto-Samic) home is in the Eastern Karelia, around Lake Ladoga (Laatokka), Lake Onega (Äänisjärvi) region. Time estimate for the start of Proto-Samic phase is anything from 1000BC to 700AD (yeah, opinions really vary!). From there it expanded into Southern and Central Finland, Lapland, Russian Kola Peninsula, Norway and Sweden. Now, linguists agree it is way too wide region for the Proto-Samic to evolve, it must have been a smaller region. Even today, there's 10 Sami languages and the region isn't even half as big, contacts are easier now yet it has fractured to so many pieces.
The Proto-Samic language/dialect got its Proto-Baltic loan words from Proto-Baltic-Finnic (also Proto-Finnic name is used). That's the earliest loan word layer found in Samic languages. The earliest Proto-Germanic loan words also came from the Proto-Baltic-Finnic. However latest Proto-Germanic loan words Proto-Samic seems to have borrowed directly from Proto-Germanic so that's when Proto-Samic seems to have existed as separate from Proto-Baltic-Finnic for sure. Proto-Germanic languages were spoken (in the Germanic region, if there were Proto-Germanic people in Finland, then who knows.) from about 500BC to 400AD.
Also, all that region from the Proto-Sami homeland to the Arctic Sea includes unknown language place names, and Sami lannguages include unknown language loan words, which can't be traced to any existing languages. So Proto-Samic expansion also replaced other languages. Or if I say like you: pushed ahead other languages to the Arctic Sea.
Genetically Finns and Samis are two different people. "Ancient Fennoscandian genomes reveal origin and spread of Siberian ancestry in Europe" research shows that ethnic Sami people have much higher amount of Samojedic Nganasan genetic heritance than ethnic Finns. Modern Samis still show about 30% Nganasan admixture, while among modern Finns it is 5% to 10%. Levänluhta cemetary Sami burials dated to 300AD to 800AD showed even higher Nganasan admixture: upto 50%. Ethnic Sami mitochondrian DNA also shows evidence of Atlantic coast migration from the Iberia peninsula, not found among ethnic Finns' mtDNA. So it is obvious the genetic Sami people are different from Finns. But also the modern Sami DNA proves that the Sami have mixed with Finns and Scandinavians. So although some of them still identify as Sami, some of them no doubt adobted Finnish or Scandinavian identity.
The above mentioned Levänluhta Sami cemetary is unique in the sence that none of the bodies were cremated, there were almost 100 burials found and the cemetary was in use for about 500 years. The bodies were buried on the ground without and stone or wood structures. However, Finland is full of burial sites with cremated bodies buried within stone structures, starting from Late Neolithic over the Bronze Age and Iron Age to the start of Christian Era. Most of them are found in coastal regions but in the Iron Age also expand inland. If these Sami people were not the first Christians centuries before we are supposed to have Christians in Finland, then their burial style is quite different to the known burials.
That's quite strange. And that's why they first thought these were swamp burials, and people been criminals or war prisoners, but it was found many of them were women and children, had their jewelry, no violence done to them, and the cemetary turned into swamp later when a lake expanded there: it was medow when the dead were buried.
It's a funny thing, that the Seima-Turbino Phenomena is often nowadays suggested brought Proto-Baltic-Finnic region to the Baltic Sea shores. But only to Estonia. Despite Finland has hundreds of that culture's bronze items, especially axes and axe molds. How come Finns accept the idea it was only in Estonia Proto-Baltic-Finnic existed for almost 2 millenias, before the language finally found its way over the narrow gulf? Are we too polite to the Sami people? And maybe to Estonians too? IMHO if Proto-Baltic-Finnic existed in Estonia, it existed in Finland. We were part of the same Culture zones through-oout Bronze Age: western coast part of the Baltic Sea (Scandinavian) Bronze Age, inland part of the Seima-Turbono Phenomena.
Edited a few typos, no content change.
I really enjoyed this video!!
In finnish "Ukko" also has a slightly humorous tone because it also means "old man" in common language. When spoken about the old god named "Ukko", the word "ylijumala" ("overgod") is usually added; even in Kalevala. So it is "Ukko, The Overgod" (crude straight translation) when we talk about the stormy father figure (who was kinda like Zeus).
Ummm... And about "Perkele". You were right! Nice! Very few seem to know that "Perkele" was the same as"Ukko" (even tho some sources claim Perkele was god of the forest; not thunder) . It's funny because every finnish person that I know understands "Perkele" to mean "Satan"/"Devil". This is because when the Christians came and forced their religion on us by asking "sword or cross?" (giving the options between death by the sword and Christianity), they also deemed Perkele as a false god and his worship as idolatry.... Soooooo... In some point they just decided to switch "Perkele" to mean "The Devil" just to claim their territory. :E
Copy pasting local believes as evil creatures is a very common practice in the Abrahamic religions. Even the Muslims did it, as can be seen with the "Djinns".
Let's learn some finnish :D

Another interesting thing in the Finnic pagan religion is the god Väinämöinen. I don't think there's really an equivalent to him in Indo European religions altho he has similar features with some gods. He's very very important in the pagan religion maybe on level with Ukko or even above him in importance (not metaphysically). Ukko is a rather abstract entity whereas Väinämöinen is a cultural hero as well as a deity so he is much closer to every day life and events. He is described as a sage and here he is similar to Odin but I think in some poems he also shares characteristics with Thor.
But the striking characteristic about Väinämöinen is his similarity to Greek Orpheus in that he is a master musician and an instrument builder as well and his ability to build things with spellcasting (Thoth/Hermes comes to mind). Apparently Greek Orpheus is Asiatic in origin altho his exact place of origin is unclear. It's generally thought he came somewhere from the east. Perhaps he originates from the same root influence as Väinämöinen.
I would be really interested in what your thoughts are on this. :)
keeelane he is very like Odin and Merlin
Yes, on a surface level but on a deeper level he seems more alien to me. His name refers to a quiet river bend - Väinö or Väinä - and the suffix -nen is a diminutive indicating affection much like -ini in Italian. I think some people have suggested he originated from a water sprite or spirit of some sort.
This is a great book on this:
www.amazon.com/Ukko-Thunder-Ancient-Indo-European-Monograph/dp/094169495X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503127697&sr=1-1&keywords=unto+salo
For Estonians, Vanemuine (Quite noticeably similiar name) was the god of music and acting, often carrying a ''kannel'' with him. He was also known for songs and verses. Other gods from our pagan side include Järvevana (The Elder of the Lake), Metsaema (Forest Mother), as well, as some evil entities. For example, Külmking was a lady-like creature with 10 arms and legs, luring people in the forest to devour them. The list could go on with Grave Maidens, Shadowlings, House Spirit, homemade grass effigys, that would bring your riches for you and so on.
väinämöinen was a drunk
Väinämöinen was a god-like man, more like an old wise man than a god. In Kalevala epic tales he also had really bad luck with the ladies. Aino, the fair lady, even drowned herself rather than married that old man (and turned into the fishes in the sea). Ilmarinen, the blacksmith, was another god-like man. But above all was the Ukko, "the over god". They might all be the same god in the origin tho. In Kalevala, there is also a story about the life tree "Yggdrassil" which was split four directions by a midget iron man which arised from the sea...

Wonderful. My sister just went to Finland a couple of months ago and I wish I had know this then as she is a history buff too. Great stuff.
It's actually quite interesting how there's so many Finnish words loaned from Proto-Germanic language. Few pages just in Wikipedia for starts.
That's because Finland was populated by proto-Germanic tribes (the battle ax culture).
Actually there is a simple reason, when the first ugrian finns came to northern baltics app. 800-500 years before a.d. there were already living proto germanic people. Propably same proto germanic who also inhabitated southern scandinavia.
So loan words have been taken from baltic, germanic and slavic languages etc. For example finnish word orja which means slave is originally also proto germanic/sanskrit (aryan).🤔

The whole question seems rather racist. It's as if he considered it a good outcome that Finns aren't Asiatic. And in fact he is largely wrong, as almost all Europeans have very much Asiatic pre-history. Also Proto-Indo-Europeans' all 3 major components the EHG, CHG and EEF came from Asia. If one has studied European Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Chalcolithic, one has seen those big arrows from Siberia to Europe. And during the last couple of thousand years, we know waves of Asiatic people have come to Europe.

Very interesting. A couple questions:
I get your logic regarding today's Finns being most like the Proto-Indo-Europeans, except I'm confused: I thought Proto-Indo-European people (Yamnaya, Khvalynsk, Samara cultures) were primarily dark-haired & dark eyed? That doesn't really describe todays Finns. Genes do funny things over time?
The arrival of today's Finnic people's Uralic ancestors (haplogroup N) in the North Baltic/Karelia region in the early to mid-second century BC fits nicely around the time of the of the Seima-Turbino phenonenon and its set of fantastic bronze arms. Any thoughts?
my grandmother is sami and ojibwa (native American tribe) so she looks very different then most people where we live
There were many good point here and to someone who does not know Finnish history, a very good introduction. However, there were few points where there was either misunderstanding or wrong information.Avarion below already pointed out many issues but maybe it is worth repeating these in slightly different form. Firstly, the DNA result from Levänluhta only applies to that one site and does not mean that all of Finland would have been the same. Around 350 AD the Finnish culture was concentrated in the SW coast of Finland (today known as "Finland Proper") and would spread in the following centuries to inland and Karelia. On the other hand, only 10-20 km from Levänluhta there was a distinct culture concentrated on the river and coast that was using luxury Scandinavian swords and burying their chiefs in by burning them in long ships. This culture had their Golden Age in the migration period and they would disappear by the early Viking Age, around the time when land route to the eastern fur trade centers was replaced by the Eastern Way.As for Finns arriving as one tribe 2000 years ago, this migration theory has been displaced by the continuation theory already in the 1980's. It is now accepted, and this is backed by archeology, linguistics and genetics, that the ancestors of Finns have been there basically since the end of the last ice age. Of course there have been many newcomers but they have all contributed to the mix. However, Finnish as a language cannot have been present for that long but was adopted from one group or another at some point few thousand years ago. Then, for example battle axe conquerors, the Nordic Bronze Age migrants and the Scandinavian migrants that came from Eastern Sweden or Gotland during the older Roman Iron Age all were assimilated to the Finnic culture and adopted Finnish as their language. At the same time, Finns kept pushing the Sami northwards and assimilated some of them to their sedentary farming culture. At the same time, Karelians, who were originally migrants from Western Finland who had moved to the East to gain from the increased activity, got migrants from other Finnic tribes moving from Novgorod to get away from Slavic pressure. The same effect can be seen in Estonia where Veps graves start to appear at the same time. This happened at the same time when the Scandinavian elements of Novgorod were assimilated to Slavic society. This Eastern Finnic influence started the Golden Age of ancient Karelia which ended with first with its absorbion to Novgorod and then the division of Karelia between Novgorod and Sweden in 1323.Summa summarum, the whole ancient history of Finns is extremely complicated and the picture is still evolving. The excerpt you have about Levänluhta is only a "trailer" of the first result of the ancient DNA tests that have been taken recently and the samples from SW Finland dating to migration period, Merovingian Age and Viking Age will shed more light on the genetics of Finns during that time. Especially the rich burial grounds of Eura will be interesting. Unfortunately the acidic soil of Finland does not preserve any bones from stone age. There is only one skeleton known from stone age and that is from Åland islands where the soil is quite different

Texans are looking at that belt buckle and feel that they need to step up their game.
Very informative and nice study, the most interesting about Perkele it sounds similliar to me to Perun or Perkunas
Good presentation overall, but I want to address a few things:
-WHG probably never existed in Finland in pure form, instead the land was inhabited by Eastern Hunter-Gatherers like Karelia HG, 6850 BC.
-Finnic only applies to Baltic Finns, not Saami or other Uralics.
-Levänluhta cluster closest to modern Saami, not East Asians. We already have a few small previews of the upcoming PCA and they don't look too far off of the moderns. While it's true they may have lacked Anatolian (EEF), they probably still had Caucasus (CHG). They were much less "alien" than you think.
-Every Uralic group EXCEPT FOR Baltic Finns & Saami has Turkic/Mongolian/East Asian admixture. Fennoscandian Asian is of a specific type found only in the Eastern Baltics and Lappland. It's very likely that this admixture type is non-Uralic in origin and was picked up only recently, even by Saamis. This means that whatever West Uralics were like originally they might not have had ANY Asian admixture at all until they got closer to Finland. (Proto-Uralic is a different matter of course, it's an even bigger question mark.)
-Finland has never been genetically uniform. Even during the Levänluhta period Southwest Finland was never populated by Saamic speakers. There would have been Proto-Germanic or some form of Germanic and a mixture of the previous.
-Finnish people are not actually all that unique. What most genetic studies fail to understand is the Saami factor and the fact that Finns with higher amount of Saami genes look different from everyone else, including Southwest Finns. When Saamis are absent in a study, Eastern Finns then become the "next best thing" and assume all the Saami characteristics. East Finns should be viewed as a mixture of Finnic and Saamic.
Most Finns have some degree of Saamic blood, Estonians retained their pure Indo-European blood after having diluted away their original East Asian autosomes. West Finns are mainly assimilated Paleo-Europeans, explaining their lack of Indo-European paternal lines.
Ruskataival Finnish Y-chromosomes come from a 2000 year old bottleneck, hence the strange inconsistencies it produces. For example, Saami N1c1 frequency is less than that of Finns, even though Finns are clearly more western than Saamis. Similarly, Southwest Finns, who are the most western on a PCA, have more N1c1 than the majority I1 Satakunta Finns. I would argue that mtDNA makes for a much better marker for Indo-European ancestry in this case. eurogenes.blogspot.com/2017/07/corded-ware-origin-of-big-chunk-of.html
N1c1 isn't very reflective of East Asian admixture in Europe with the exception of Finns, Saami have high N1c1 because the Mesolithic European forebears of Saami were matriarchal who first mixed with West Siberians (the origin of their Asiatic admixture) and then with Finnics (the origin of their paternal lines).

Well, if you talk of the physical attributes, the Finns have the highest percentage of blond hair and blue eyes in the world and the fairest skin.. But you must be talking of something else? Maybe you could start by defining what you mean by "white"?
Nice Video, I really like Finland and I've always wanted to visit Turku! I subscribed :)
Oh... okay I will go there instead. But honestly I'm used to being a minorty, I live in germany's most infamous no-go-area: Marxloh.
Ach du Heimatland You are welcome.
