The origins of #Uralic languages has always been of great interest to my #Finnish ancestors

'The data indicate that a large belt of genetically related hunter-gatherers from the Late Stone Age, spanning from modern-day western Russia to eastern Siberia, was disrupted around 4,200 years ago as new groups moved in and mixed with them, resulting in the formation of new groups with lasting demographic and linguistic features. Some of these proto-Uralic people migrated westward through the millennia as far as the Baltic Sea, possibly driven by a vast trading network for bronze tools and weapons known as the Seima-Turbino phenomenon.'
