Immigrant ping.

Hogwash, it was the arrival of the Great Ice Ship on this planet that brought them here. ;^)

Nah. It is obviously too much lutefisk —— that is gene changing enough

Definitely a hunter-gatherer.

I hate to nit pick...but they could have put that gal in some shoes that fit.

Makes sense - the redheads moved basically due north from present day northern Iraq to the Volga and into Scandanavia.

Those interested may gain some insight from this article:

Where Do The Finns Come From?

BTW, my mtDNA haplogroup is 'V' as are 52% of the Skolt Sa'ami (reindeer herders) of Finland.

It has long been PC dogma that hunter-gatherers around the world voluntarily adopted agriculture and became farmers.

This article is just one example of the general point that this appears to have only seldom been the case.

Most often, agriculturalists moved into an area and displaced the original inhabitants by virtue of their much greater potential population density. More fighters per square mile.

IOW, the American and Australian displacement of the natives was only repeating what had happended many times before in Indonesia, Africa (Bantus), and many other places. Now Scandinavia. This is not going to be popular with the PC types.

I thought you might find this of interest. ;)

Are the Lapps older or newer than the Germanic Nordics? If older, maybe they are the ones displaced.

Stone Age Skeletons Suggest Europe’s First Farmers Came From Southern Europe

An analysis of 5000-year-old DNA taken from the remains of four Stone Age humans excavated in Sweden is helping researchers understand how agriculture spread throughout Europe. According to Pontus Skoglund from Uppsala University in Sweden and colleagues, the practice of farming appears to have moved with migrants from southern to northern Europe.

Agricultural know-how wasn’t the only thing that early European farmers introduced to the region, though. Based on this ancient genetic data from Sweden, Skoglund and the other researchers suggest that Europe’s first farmers eventually mixed their genes with the hunter-gatherers who lived there—a relationship that set the stage for today’s modern European genome.

“We analyzed genetic data from two different cultures—one of hunter-gatherers and one of farmers—that existed around the same time, less than 400 kilometers (249 miles) away from each other,” said Skoglund. “After comparing our data to modern human populations in Europe, we found that the Stone Age hunter-gatherers were outside the genetic variation of modern populations but most similar to Finnish individuals, and that the farmer we analyzed closely matched Mediterranean populations.”
