Interesting start by Lemminkäinen with the samples he has gathered.

Since the last post I have done a lot of testing, I have tried to find limitations of the analysing tool as well as increase my own understanding what all results mean. There is still much work to do, but I am going forward piece by piece and I try to shed light on the Finnish genetic history. In his purpose started my shared LD tests from present-day populations, not from the ancient ones, although it would be more intriguing to resolve big historical questions in our deep past








These results suggest that the Finnish genetic shape is an outcome of several migrations and admixture events, more than I could expect using PCA and formal admixture analyses based on averagely LD-pruned data. The big genetic difference (in Fst-distances) between East and West Finland might be more due to the migration history than genetic drift. Eastern Finnish results show rather young southeastern or eastern admixture history (Mordvas), while western results show older southern admixture (present-day Belarussians). Both groups show also northeastern admixture (Mari->Saami?). It is possible that those three populations are all proxies, most likely this is true in case of Belarussians.

The common history with present Scandinavians is smaller and older than expected, but this doesn’t rule out possible ancient regional migrations from there to Finland. Unfortunately I have not enough samples to check it and regarding Scandinavian migrations to Finland before the Swedish era in Finland my expectations are more focused at ancient genomes. It is worth noticing that I removed all known foreign admixture, including obvious Finland-Swedish samples. It was possible, thanks to my genealogical western Finnish data.

It looks like no particular Estonian migration existed to Finland since the common language diverged and southern migrations to Finland bypassed Estonia.

I am going to find out admixture amounts in following analyses.

Posting Finnish admixture results won't make you Finn. Ukko the gypo from Balkans.
