N1c was brought by late newcomers to Europe - racially Mongoloid Finno-Ugrians, and we have no samples of it before the metal ages. But how did it enter the Balic States, or more specifically Lithuania and Old Prussia? I understand Latvia, because they had Livonian influence, and Estonia does not even need a comment, but as much as we know there were no Finnic peoples on the Lithuanian and Prussian territory.
Wast it brought by:
1. Finnic slaves sold to the Baltic tribes by the Russian Slavs or Varangians?
2. Invading Finnic Livonians raping Baltic women?
3. Some unknown ancient Finnic immigration to this territory?
4. Or perhaps, the Balts are actually newcomers to the land (from Belarus?), and Finnic peoples genocided the most of native Cordeds like in Finland, just to get later assimilated by the Balts?
