You seem well read on this subject and coming to reasonable conclusions, so hopefully this doesn’t seem like nit-picking, because it’s meant only to add to your mental picture of the physical anthropology of Europe. The Finns, genetically, are about 25% Siberian, not including the Swedes long settled there. I’m afraid I don’t have a link for you, but will search my browsing if you like, and may turn it up before you’re able to through search engines. I just came across that factoid recently, randomly.

I would really like to see any evidence that Finns are "25% Siberian," whatever that means. Finns are linquistically related to tribes who live in the Urals and elsewhere in Russia. That does not mean that they are Mongolids racially.

Hungarians are distantly related to Finns linguistically, and also migrated from what is now Russia, but Hungarians look pretty much like their present-day Slavic or Germanic neighbors in Europe.
