This is something I've been wondering about for a while:


A third non-local component found in most parts of Europe is from the Altaian region that includes indigenous populations of Western Siberia. In Europe, this component is largest in the Finnic (21.1%), Urals (15.7%), and Norse (13.3%) sub-regions of Northeast Europe. Altaian components are lowest in sub-regions and populations near the Mediterranean Sea, such as Basque (0.2%), Sicily (0.0%), and Greece (0.0%). This suggests the Altaian component might reflect genetic traces of pre-Neolithic links between Northern Europe and Siberia, including links related to the spread of Uralic languages during the Mesolithic period.

Although some linguists view the spread of Uralic languages into Europe as a far more recent event. Regardless, on some Euros MDLP and McDonald's BGA, there is that whole Altaic or East Asian component, respectively, that comes up repeatedly.

edit:

'nother interesting remark on this from the article:


Manchurian and Arctic genetic components are identified for the Urals (Manchurian 1.7%) and Finnic (Arctic 9.7%) sub-regions of Northeast Europe. Both of these components might reflect locally specific links with Siberia during the medieval period (Manchurian links, possibly related to Turkic and Mongol expansions) and earlier Mesolithic and/or Bronze Age (Seima-Turbino).

Seima-Turbino is an interesting archaeological cultural bloc w/ a vast extent from Siberia all the way to Finland. Graves are of warrior nature as often males are interred w/ bronze falcattas.
