In this documentary, we explore Finnish ancestry, Siberian-related migrations, and medieval Baltic connections.
IN THIS DOCUMENTARY YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- What Levänluhta DNA revealed
- Why Sámi-related ancestry reached southern Finland
- How Siberian-related ancestry spread west
- Why coastal ancestry changed after 1300 CE
- What 34 ancient genomes reveal
Finland's genetic history reflects migration, regional continuity, and cultural change.
