The first study on the DNA of the ancient inhabitants of Finland has been published, with results indicating that a copious number of Siberian genetic variants are present in modern Sami populations. Genetic material from remains associated with Neo-Siberians has been found in the inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula from as far back as ...

Dec 28, 2012 · The new theory, using mitochondrial DNA testing, states that the Finns did not arrive in Sámiland only a short 3,000 years ago but rather came out of the Sámi themselves.

Nov 27, 2018 · Genetic material from Siberia has been found in the inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula from as far back as approximately 4,000 years ago, later spreading also to Finland. The study also corroborates the assumption that people genetically similar to the Sámi lived much further south in Finland than today even during the Iron Age.

The first identification of the genetic origin of the North Saamis is presented. These DNA results put the Saami history into a new light where the Coastal Saamis are the initial carriers of the Saami culture.

May 14, 2008 · Sami of northern Scandinavia are genetic outliers among European populations and their origin has been difficult to determine.

To present a summary of the lifestyle, genetic origin, diet, and disease in the population of Sami, indigenous people of northern Fennoscandia. A survey of the available scientific literature and preliminary results from our own study of the Swedish Sami population.

In this study, a high-resolution phylogenetic analysis of Saami genetic heritage was undertaken in a comprehensive context, through use of maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and paternally inherited Y-chromosomal variation.

Sep 20, 2006 · Here, we present an analysis of the complete mtDNA genome from the northern and southern Swedish Sami groups, with the purpose of studying the genetic structure of the populations and...

Mar 25, 2025 · Explore the genetic heritage of the Sami people through DNA analysis, revealing patterns of ancestry, population diversity, and inherited traits.

Aim: To present a summary of the lifestyle, genetic origin, diet, and disease in the population of Sami, indigenous people of northern Fennoscandia. Method: A survey of the available scientific literature and preliminary results from our own study of the Swedish Sami population.
