"No, but this was about the same time Abraham left Ur, so could it be some other Hebrews?"
Semites maybe, but not Hebrews - Hebrew is a word that comes from Moses time, an Egyptian word, "Habiru," meaning "stranger."
I remember reading an article that stated the Scots and Irish are more closely related-genetically- to the Basques of Spain than the Celts of central Europe.
Don't remember where I read it but do remember reading it.
I read somewhere that Hungarians are descendants of Huns from Asia/Central Asia.
But, where did the Finnish people originated from?
I don't think so. Mythology has them immigrating from Spain when Spain was Keltic, before it was overrun by the Germanic tribes in the 1st to 4th century and then by the North Africans in the 7th Century.

Where do you think the people that were eventually identified as Europeans/Indo-Europeans lived during the Ice Age. Maybe Sundaland (a land area the size of present day India) until it went underwater at the end of the Ice Age and then these refugees spread around the globe.
The Ice Age occurred in (more or less) three stages, the last 'surge' 8,000 years ago opened up the Strait Of Malacca(sp) and they surged seaward toward India, Mesopotamia, Egypt and Europe. Some streamed up the river valleys of Asia and eventually across the 'silk road' (before it was a silk road) into the Middle East and Europe.
Dr Robert Schoch has a book titled, Voyages Of The Pyramid Builders, that has these same people taking their custom of pyramid building all over the world.
Sundaland may be Atlantis and Kennewick Man and his kin may have left during the first Ice Age 'surge.'
I will quote from Dr Victor Mair's book, The Tarim Mummies. "Narain (an Indian Archaeologist) argues that once one accepts the equation Tocharian = Yuezhi, then one is forced to follow both the Chinese historical record sources and the geographical reference of their (the Caucasian mummies) first cited historical location (Gansu) to the conclusion that they have been there 'from times immemorial'. Narain infers that they had been there at least since the Qijia culture c. 2000BC and probably even earlier in the Yangshao culture of the Neolithic. This would render the Tocharians as virtually native to Gansu (and earlier than the putative spread of the Neolithic to Xinjiang) and Narain goes so far as to argue that the Indo-Europeans themselves originally dispersed from this area westwards.

Still a cold and arid region...probably tough living. Those 'Europeans' may have been the dark complected, round-headed, Mediterranean people I ocassionally read about.
Hebrew refers to the descendents of Eber. The Chinese are identified by their prefix: Sino- comes from the Sinites.
I must be a self-loather :). Those damn dirty vermins! Is it a form of bigotry and racism to hate rabbits?
