Ancient DNA shows the Sámi and Finns share identical Siberian genes

[Lemminkäinen]

As I already stated in another thread, I made an analysis already several years ago proving that Finns and Saamis share same rare alleles and these alleles differ from common rare alleles shared between Mordvas and other populations showing high Siberian admixture in the east. The conclusion is made by a later Finnish study using aDna. It looks very safe to say that at least most of Finnish Siberian is due to a local admixture with Saamis. Does this confront the idea of the Volga origin of the Finns? No, but it challenges the theory of Siberian origin of the Finns as an evidence about the Volga origin.

What do you mean by this? I thought that the Estonian study already showed that there was some influx of East-Eurasian ancestry into early Iron Age Estonia that probably was the time when Finnic took over the region:

I thought this was common knowledge.
