Where Do The Finns Come From?

Sydaby ^ | Christian Carpelan

Not long ago, cytogenetic experts stirred up a controversy with their "ground-breaking" findings on the origins of the Finnish and Sami peoples. Cytogenetics is by no means a new tool in bioanthropological research, however. As early as the 1960s and '70s, Finnish researchers made the significant discovery that one quarter of the Finns' genetic stock is Siberian, and three quarters is European in origin. The Samis, however, are of different genetic stock: a mixture of distinctly western, but also eastern elements. If we examine the genetic links between the peoples of Europe, the Samis form a separate group unto themselves, and other Uralic peoples, too have a distinctive genetic profile.

"The Saami are of interest because of their cultural and genetic uniqueness. They, and to a lesser extent Finns, have very high frequencies of mtDNA haplogroup U5, which is generally associated with the first modern human settlers of Europe.

9,000 year old Cheddar Man has mtDNA U5a as does my dad's mother, Mrs Smith.

I went to the Saami museum in Inari Finland in the early 2000s and they had said this.

It had a great outdoor area which showed how the early Saami lived, including their saunas. :)

The Arctic museum in Rovenami was a more traditional museum but had very interesting descriptions of the different peoples, Saami versus Finns.
