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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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]

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”).'

@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.)

@@janijonkkari4890 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.

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.

@Kuriver4 жыл бұрын
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.
@Aurinkohirvi Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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...

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.

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

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).

a couple of corrections: after the ice age melted, the first people in finland were pure eastern hunter gatherers (EHG) as demonstrated by the findings from that time, for example peurasaari, the largest mesolithic cemetery of its time in the world... then during the mesolithic, the western hunter gatherers (WHG) came from estonia as demonstrated by many findings... this mixture was very similar to what a few thousand years later became the scandinavian hunter gatherer (SHG) in scandinavia. Then after the indo-european expansions, a slow influence of steppe-dna has been slowly mixing with finnish dna ever since. Then during the bronze age, the large asian populations started to have their slow genetic effect on finnish dna through siberia. This influence has been historically very slow and even today only about 5% of finnish dna comes from east asia. And this creates the modern finnish dna: around 5% asian dna, around 30% steppe dna and the rest being the largest still remaining pocket of the old eastern and western hunter gatherer dnas still remaining in europe.

Why are the Finns basically the Sami? Well, because they share this history and because the Sami that lived in areas where their Fennoized cousins moved to, they settled too, became farmers, and became Finns too.
