How come Finns are so distant to Swedes genetically?

Ok, then points for that

. Grammar? Yes, I'm quote sure that even many Finns will not know all the theories well; opposite they just ''know'' what to use case by case.

I exactly follow some of Finland's media not to lose it.

Kyllä. Uskon Lemminkäinen on paras asiantuntija. Tai Harkonnen. He näytät tietävän kaiken suomen kieli.

Because of their long-lasting isolation not only through hundreds of years but actually millennia. Also their Siberian admixture explains that.

They aren't some sort of special, isolated population like others are saying. It's simply Mongoloid admixture, it's so diverged and far away from anything Caucasoid they'll be closer to populations with similar amounts of Mongoloid and very far from any Caucasoids. It's kinda like a Spaniard will be genetically closer to a North Italian than a Uruguayan who is 90% Spaniard but 5% Amerindian and 5% SSA.

If you took away the recent Mongoloid from both Finns and Russians, Finns as awhole(maybe not SW Finns) are still slightly closer to Russians anyway because Finns are 35% Germanic, 55% Baltic-like(rest recent East Asian), but they would be much closer to both populations in terms of distance.
