About 90% of the Sa'ami were physically isolated from ALL other Europeans from about 20,000 years ago to 1,000 years ago. The other 10% had some strange show up about 7,500 years back ~ probably from India or Mesopotamia most likely.

There continue to be Sa'ami who do not yet have a real close relationship with Europeans ~ and then there are the Fulbe, Berbers, Cherokees, Yakuts and others who are closely related to Sa'ami but not other Europeans in general.

There are still other genetic isolates ~ the upland families in Switzerland show signs of that because nobody moves in, although they move out!

Mathematics must be counseled with reality ~ not all the connections work simply because nobody moved in or out of thousands of semi-isolated villages for thousands of years.

Logical Fallacy. Correlation is not causation.

I am a mutt.

Father’s parents were Scot/Irish but mother was Swedish by way of Finland to US. (other groups involved too)

Migration patterns in US evolved in patterns too.

The label “Caucasian” is not very descriptive.

Norse invations.

Asians migrated to Europe.

It is simply not that tight on the gene pool.

I don't find it remarkable at all, due to rape, pillage, and plundering, that "genetic chunk" they are discovering was put there by Norsemen to all points of Europe, and perhaps North America as well, just about 1000 years ago.

Just look at the "tour shirt" they would have been able to put together:

Russia
England
Ireland
Iceland
Greenland
Vinland
France
Various modern Slavic states
Grafittied the Mediterranean
And the invited bodyguards of various Byzantine Emperors.

They're all related to me.

Well, I know my ancestor, Johann der Wilde [John, the Wild] von Wallmerode Buewinghausen contributed his share of DNA to the European gene pool. I have said many times that I am related to all Europeans through this man. He lived in the 15-16th century and was married with 3 daughters, but when he died he had acknowledged 72 illegitimate children. I wonder how many more unacknowledge children he had?

He was a minor nobleman in the northern Rheinland. Maybe you too could be a descendant of his?????

Well if he was a minor nobleman, most likely his ancestors were nobleman from all around Europe, as they tended to travel and intermarry, and in time all the cycling around meant you are related to notable nobles all over Europe. Mine is a DuBois who was a Hugoenot and ultimately, yes I can go back to Charlemagne as an ancestor.
