Historical Demographics and Genetics - Historical Scandinavians and Finns are largely not descended from 10,000-11,000 BCE hunter-gatherers [1] - Scandinavians are closely related in genetics and language to other historical Europeans, especially other northern Europeans [1] - European peoples share a central Eurasian pastoral origin in genetics and language with Indo-European language speakers [2] - Few genes from the 10,000-11,000 BCE hunter-gatherers remain in Europeans after the Anatolian farmer and Indo-European pastoralist migrations [2] Linguistic Evolution - Latin, ancient Greek, Germanic, Slavic, and other Indo-European languages share a common origin [2] - The 10,000-11,000 BCE hunter-gatherers could not have spoken an Indo-European language [2] Research and Documentation - DNA and related studies over the last several decades document these findings [3] - There is still room to fill in the details through further research [3]
