Hey Reina. So during a bit of Elden Ring Lore research, I started doing a little bit of study on Sengoku Jidai. After Hideyoshi shut down all the ports and tried to isolate Japan, apparently the Dutch from 1640-1854 were the only people trading with them from a post on Dejima. Although the Netherlands is on the other side of Denmark that at least gets you to Europe, and I've seen at least one map that has the Dutch trading in 1665 with routes all the way from Dejima to the Baltic Sea near Finland and even on the other side of Scandinavia, in a Russian city called Arkhangelsk. Shot in the dark, but I'd bet that's where the link would be. It's a big world and a long history tho, so who knows. Hope you're feeling better!
Hi Scully San, I am half Japanese and both my parents did the My Heritage test as well, and you should know that My Heritage does not have a good coverage of Asia. Nothing bad said about My Heritage, but to make these estimates, they need alot of DNA from each region, to estimate the mixture of "race" in your specific region ex. Japan. It is a myth that each country is made out of pure race, obviously we are mixed, borders are man made not natural. This whole DNA thing was started by the Mormons in the US because they believe that it's possible to find your ancestors and baptise them into their religion, this is why the My Heritage "database" already has a lot of Western, especially European DNA. My Mothers results looked something like yours, although instead of Inuit, it she had Inca (South American) DNA. She also had 2-3% Finish in her, and I believe that the indigenous people of that area called the Sami is the reason. They are an indigenous group of north of the Nordic countries, Norway, Sweden and Finland. They are a travelling people and they do look like they have mongolian heritage. You can find language videos on youtube, where you can listen to Sami and Ainu language, and there is a lot of similarities. When assessing your DNA it's easy to say, oh well it must have been because this Hablo group moved from this area to this area 10.000 years ago, but remember, these DNA kits can only measure back around 500 years, meaning only six-seven incestores back (if they live to around 70 years old). So someone in your recent ancestry was full Inuit, and someone even further back was full Finish. Now having said all this, the test kit also includes that the only assessments that is 100% correct is the first line, meaning that you are 98% Japanese. The rest is an estimate, and if you do another test from another test kit that has a different database, your answer will be different. As a Japanese person I would advise you to get an asian based or Japanese based DNA test kit. I know that they exist because I wanted to find one for my mother. I hope this helped just a little...thank you for this video! Kind regards Ken
There are Japanese DNA companies which are apparently more detailed when it comes to Asian ancestry. Bigger sample sets. You may be able to upload results for analysis.
Can we go under the assumption that you haven't undergone any cosmetic procedures? A lot of Asians who have had surgeries often get assumed to be part white.
No, because many Koreans and Chinese people have them too. Besides, all these simple DNA tests say that Ainu people are about 80％ Japanese and 15% South Asian and that the rest of their genome comes from random places including Europe and North Africa. It also says Inuit but not all the time, and even when it shows up it's always a tiny bit. On the other hand, South Asia shows up all the time. If she had Ainu ancestry, she would be more South Asian than Inuit. But she isn't, meaning that her Inuit ancestry doesn't come from Ainu people.
@@mfreak1126 The Ainu are native to northern Honshu, Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, and Sakalin. Are you thinking of the indigenous people from the Ryukyu Islands that are located to the south of mainland Japan?
Note that these DNA tests primarily expose DNA add mixture. In this case, the Inuit and Finnish DNA is just shared DNA with these groups. It doesn't mean there is a specific ancestor that came from these people groups. For example, as humans we all share common DNA by definition , but we cannot necessarily show ancestor relationships with this knowledge. In this case, the Finnish people also share Sammi (a nomadic group of reindeer herders that spans all of northern Europe and Asia). This doesn't mean you have Finnish DNA, it just means Reina shares DNA with Finnish people who shared DNA with Sammi and Inuit. Also, the DNA testing database probably doesn't have enough data to discretely resolve the difference between Finnish, Sammi and Inuit DNA, and so reports Finnish and Inuit as broad categories. The subtleties of DNA haplogroups is complicated especially when many haplogroups and markers are shared across many different peoples, and then these peoples are separated by relatively recent national borders.
It makes sense. Very common to get small percentages of japanese/korean for finnish people in dna tests too. Long time ago the origin is same in siberia. Finnic people moved from the east to the west and west and northern russia used to be region of finnic tribes which have many lost in history or are in small numbers nowadays. Finns still carry rare haplogroup which makes them ancestry very unique. There is a saying that finns are the most and least europeans of european ethnic groups. 15:44 this man has features that are quite common in Finland. Super interesting guys. But your husband definitely has no idea about it because of his weird theory of finns going with scandinavians in viking boats 😂 its just small sea and bit if land between finland and japan. During long periods of time its not weird that there is this root.
OMGosh!! Your mother is so adorable!! You are lucky to take after her, she isn't just beautiful, she seems like such a lovely woman as well...and a very caring mother who truly enjoys and loves her daughter. Most all mothers love their children, but they don't all really and truly ENJOY them.
I just found your channel today. What an interesting video to start off with! Finnish people weren't always restricted to the area of where Finland is today. They were part of a much larger group of people comprised of clusters of family groups in Scandinavia, upper Russia, and further south approximately where Hungary is today, along with some islands in the Baltic inlet. This historical major tribe of Native Scandinavian people are referred to as Sámi. I am proud to know that my oldest ancestry is Native Scandinavian Sámi as well as Native American, Lenni Lenape Tukwsit (wolf clan) and Scottish Highlander Suðrland (named by my Norse ancestors, today is spelled Sutherland). Ancestry & cultural backgrounds are fascinating!!! ❤ So glad you both decided to find out your ancestral history so one day your child will know for sure the ancestors standing behind her. 😇 Edited to add... your mom is so sweet & funny! I love the relationship between you two! Her photo with the flower crown & dress is so pretty!!!
A friend of mine did one of those ancestry things on herself and her dad. She wanted her mom's DNA too, but her mom refused, and indeed seemed to be alarmed that she was doing it for herself and her dad. She learned why her mom was alarmed when she got the results. She called her mom and said they needed to talk, and talk outside the hearing ranger of her father. When she asked why she was not related to her dad, her mother started to cry. What she learned was horrifying. Her mom had been raped but had never said anything about it to anyone because she was so ashamed. There is a song with a line, "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." That's exactly how my friend felt. She told no one about this until both of her parents had passed away.
I remember watching Conan O’Brien was joking about taking a DNA test and his doctor calling him because he was 100% Irish. His doctor claimed the only way you can be 100% is through inc3st! I don’t know if that is true, but when my husband’s DNA was tested, the results were 96% Polish (he is from Poland), but the results stated that he is more Polish than 99% of the people living in Poland.
Every family has a "wandering" ancestor. Good you embraced the distant line. There may be an update from Heritage as more results with similar lines are found. I enjoy seeing you with your husband. He seems good for you. Take care 🙂
Finnish people are related to Siberian people. Ainu of northern Japan and Inuit are related. It totally makes sense, especially based on those small percentages.
I got a little Finnish, too...I am very Asian. I tested with Ancestry, 23andme, and FamilyTreeDNA and MyHeritage. Only MyHeritage has a little Finnish. The others are 100% Asian. I don't believe the "little Finnish" bit.
I think Sami Finns should be listed as European as they are in Europe. Other genetic testing companies don’t put them in the Asian category. But it is good to know. I thought maybe their test sample were East Asians that have lived in Finland for 5-6 generations and had a white great great grandpa.
Its really so interesting to get the dna test result, because you realize that you are a mix of so much more than you actually know. That is how I felt and my mom as well, when we got our results from My Heritage.
Turkey was a big center of trade and they often went to Italy and the European continent. Very classic story of intermingling going to England and Ireland and likely a little Scottish too.
I am >95% Chinese but I also have that 1.7% Finnish. From what I read, they categorizes Finnish as people from Siberia which is huge swath of lands from Eastern Europe to sea of Japan.
Very fun. I'm from the US and lived for many years in the Seattle area, where there are many immigrant people from Asia: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc. Also Inuit, Pacific Islanders, etc. If I were to see your mom at a bus stop or walking down the street (before seeing this video), at first glance, I would assume she was a lovely Filipina.
the answer is traders, probably just one finish trader settled in japan because the cost of going back was too much their children would know japanese and would be more likely to have children with japanese locals. same with your Inuit dna, you probablyjust had more inuit traders that are ancestors that kept having children with mixed inuit japanese citizens making you more inuit.
There are 11 siblings in my family. 5 brunets, 2 redheads, 4 blondes. My Dad was Irish, English and Scottish. MY MOM Dutch, Irish, Scottish. My daughter is very blonde and tall, my sons tall, 6' ,6'2". One son dark brown, other light brown. Their Dad is Irish, Dutch, Native American. Irish comes up as Scandinavian, Dutch as Germanic. Native as Italian. Go figure.
some really good questions: how exactly do these DNA kits come up with those percentages? what do they even mean? can these really indicate anything substantial about any individual's ancestry? how far back does it go? what's the difference between saying one person's DNA is 96% japanese vs saying japanese DNA can be traced back to the chinese from X centuries/millennia ago? would've been nice to hear an expert talk about this, instead of yet another blase ad for these DNA kit companies, which may be building giant databases of DNA without informing the participants of their actual intent, while marketing it as some sorta dubious product with limited value.
When you go back to the last ice age, sea levels were hundreds of feet lower than today. Japanese islands were physically part of the Asian mainland. Ancient people walked to what is now Japan. They also walked across the land bridge connecting Asia and the American continents. That can explain how you can have a bit of Inuit and perhaps also the Finish DNA.
Of course there's also the unique results that can vary between testing sites. MyHeritage would like people to think I'm 12% Italian. I'd say I average 2-3% on other sites. FamilyTree DNA would say 7% Magyar. Non-existant elsewhere. Most of the sites would say I'm 4% Indigenous North American, but MyHeritage doesn't have enough samples from that according to the part of the site I was on, so I get Mesoamerican & Andean in my results instead. Also the only place that gives me any Inuit.
Hey, your video just recommended so I watched and found out that our stories are similar! I have been told that I might have Russian blood while our ancestors lived in Hokkaido so I took the same test couple of years ago ago and my result came back that I have 2.4% Finnish! The calculation tells me that I have a Finnish ancestor 5 generation back! I am happy that my family rumors came out kinda true! Oh, I am “Japanese “ btw😊
1.3% Finnish gang. 👋🏻 I’m 1.3% Finnish as well, but it didn’t come as that much of a surprise to me, considering I’m Norwegian and my maternal great grandma came from Sweden.
He looks more than half white. Various members of her family look like various Non-Japanese peoples. Kind of like Ainu's. Different Ainus look like all different peoples.
The cool thing with MyHeritage is they constantly update your percentages the more people test. The percentage breakdowns for my ancestry have changed multiple over the last several years, so it will be interesting to look at them a year or two later.
Yeah, I'm Korean and used 23andme. At the beginning it said Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian. It tightened up over a year and ended up like 100% Korean.
@@wuverrabbit Being extremely mixed and having my brother show very similar results means I know MyHeritage is very accurate with their predictions, they could even point out the small places the mix of my ethnicities was most common and that was the island my father came from. My DNA comes from all over the world so it's very much not random.
"@JSN723 Yeah, I'm Korean and used 23andme. . . it said Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian. It tightened up over a year and ended up like 100% Korean." It's a racket. This lady and her family look way more than a few percent non Japanese. Not believing those results.
Just based on Reina's looks, I was expecting even more Finnish percentage heritage. I know several half Japanese, half Finns, and she looks more Finnish than those guys. Greetings from Finland and Thank You for a nice video!
Finns through Russia: 1) Finland proper was under imperial control of Russia for more than 100 years 2) lot of people in northern Russia have some Finnish background 3) there are several subjugated nations inside Russia who are related to Finns Any Russian soldier coming from St Peterburg to the East could have bring the Finnish heritage actually
Your results totally make sense. The northern people were all hunter-gatherers. Nomads. Where those groups are now isn't always (or only) where they've been. Your distant Innuit ancestor likely came from a subgroup in extremely Northeastern Russia. Your distant Finnish ancestor likely was from a group that wandered or traded through the Arctic when it was passable. Seems to all compute.
Finno-Ugric speaking groups of people are living through big parts of Russia; they were in Russia before speakers of Slavic languages spread to Russia ... Finno-Ugric peoples are very often by Y DNA haplogroup belonging to the group N ... and people from Near East (Turkiye and Caucasus region) were arriving to Italy during the Roman times and later as a part of Great migration during and after Hunic invasion ... (4th to 5th century AD) . Greetings ... from Croatia ...
There has been many recorded cataclysmic events in the last 1200 years that resulted in migrations from northern Europe into the south, and the Americas from both east and west
My mom is Irish and I am 55% Irish 12% Welsh and they finally got the 9% German correct and there’s 9% Scottish, 7% Sweden and Denmark (probably where I got my paternal haplogroup of I1 M253 from), 7% English and Northwestern Europe (again) and 1% Iberian from my Irish mother. Now if only we could define these categories, that would be something. I guess it’s just autosomal admixture.
So here is my explanation for the Finnish part. About 8500 years ago people from south east Asia wandered through Russia and settled in northern Scandinavia and Finland. They became the Sami people. They later mixed with people from the south. To this day, the Sami people look a bit Asian with Asian eyes and you can also see a hint of that in northern Swedes and Finns. Look up pictures of the Sami. You look quite like them. So the explanation to why you have Finnish DNA is not because one of your ancestors were Finnish but because the Finnish people and your ancestors share ancestors. My heritage cannot know which direction the association goes, they can only see that you share DNA. So my theory is that your ancestors must have been related to the people that became the Sami people thousands of years ago.
This is so coo! I'm mixed race (Chinese immigrant and midwestern Scandianvian American) and I think both sides have taken DNA tests, but I haven't. I don't feel like I look like any of my ancestors.
We know my multi great grandfather came from Ireland in the 1600's when Cromwell purges Irish out on ships across the British empire taking their land. When one of my daughters did one of those DNA heritage tests she came back more Scottish than Irish, but both are Gaelic, so it's definitely not surprising.
I Genetics are weird I used to have a japanese friend, she looked japanese, but she showed me a picture of her grandfather once and he looked white. She was married to an American. Her children looked more Japanese than their more who was fulky Japanese.
My Grandmother told us for years that her grandmother was born and raised on an Indian (Native American) Reservation. DNA from 123 says I am English and German only with 0.14% Neanderthal. Where my wife was raised to believe she was german, but 123 says she is 100% English. but one black ancestor from the 1870s from the west coast of Africa. allso she has 0.07 Neanderthal
I was watching something the other day that said (if I am remembering correctly) that a number of the Finnish people may have migrated eastward, and that apparently the Finnish were related to the Ainu people. Which come from the north of Japan where I believe you said part of your family was from? And certainly if they had migrated through the extreme northern parts of Siberia, they could have interacted with the Inuit. So that might explain the 4%.
My sister did her DNA through 23 and me. Our family in some branches have been in North America since the 1600s, with the earliest know ancestor born here was born in New Amsterdam in 1653. Because so many of them dating back so many generations we were expecting there to be Aboriginal or perhaps African ancestry. There was no Non-European DNA showing. 69% British Isles. 27% Scandinavian, a percentage point or two generally European and 0.9% Ashkenazi Jew.
I just watched a video on the Ainu and yeah, I can see that in you. All you need is that Joker lipstick that the women wear. Maybe when you gramma thought there was Russian in her background she meant Finish? All I can say is people love to mingle!
Other DNA testing companies include Finns in a "North-West Russian" ethnicity. Finnic languages are spoken in much of western Siberia. "Russian" explorers arrived on the Pacific coast opposite Japan in the 17th Century. Russia also governed Alaska until the 1860s. Ethnic Inuit live on both sides of the Bering Strait and originated in north-east Asia. The aboriginal Ainu and their Jomon culture also originate in northeast Asia. The Ainu, besides their celebrated hairiness, do not look typically East Asian and very different to other Japanese.
Inuit and Finnish makes sense . Specially if there’s a part of you family is from northern Japan. It’s not impossible that Finnish and inuit natives had made it all the way to northern japan long longbtime ago.
Inuit are from arctic area. Into Siberia in Russia and North Korea. Many Finns went into Russia. I can see a Finn going to Russia, getting sent to Siberia, marrying an Inuit and Korean mix and then one of their children moving to Japan many many many generations ago. I have many ethnic groups making up my own dna. One is Finn one is Scott so maybe I’m related to you both.
Not so many. Russia attacked Finland and robbed some Finns in 1700 - 1721. The period is called "The Greater Wrath." Finland was even a part of Sweden during that time.
In antiquity celts lived all over Europe and as faar aouth east as Turkey. The romans called Celts (Galli) in central and Southern Europe they lived in France ( Gallia) in Switzerland, in Northern Italy, and in Sardinia they also lived in Spain (there is still in Spain a region called Galicia), in Turkey, in a region called Galatia. That would explain how her husband can have celt and iberian and west asian DNA
I just came across your channel. Are you living in Japan? Sorry. I don't know anything about your channel, but this topic is so interesting as I always thought if you aren't 100% Japanese, you cannot have a Japanese passport and are considered a foreigner. Can you comment on this? I have a sister in law who was born and raised in Japan, but her dad was part German, so she is a German national and holds a German passport. She also had to go to a "Foreigners" school in Japan .
Unless tests have changed, they go back 300-500 years. And yes, some folks are 100%, plus test results vary from brand to brand, due to how their technology extrapolates, plus the generic populations that are participating. That’s so nifty how surprising results can be. Keep in mind these are estimates. Along with updates to the tech, and the ever increasing numbers of folks participating, numbers and ethnicities can shift. When my mum took her test with ancestry dna, she had Finnish-Russian show up in low numbers. By the next update they were both gone, and never returned. Even with the so-called ancestry hack they weren’t there. Am curious if either of your percentages and ethnicities change in future updates.🤓 Lastly, a big chunk of Russia reaches the Pacific Ocean. In fact, Russia and South Korea are the two countries that are closest to Japan. Check out a world map. 😎
Hmm...interestingly, but perhaps a long shot, the northern sea route extends from Russia to Asia north of Siberia. The route was first conquered by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld's (Swedish-*Finnish*) 'Vega' expedition in 1878-79. Could it be him or one of his sailors that went to Japan after? A long shot, of course, but it made me think of this possible solution to the small percentage of Finnish. It could also of course be way back and with a far more intricate solution.
Your result does not necessarily suggest that any of your ancestors were ever in Finland, could be, but it could also be that one of your ancestral relatives, headed that way, and now a significant number of their offspring make up the modern population of Finland. There are many in that region who have characteristically "asian" eyes, Lapps, among others. Anyhow, if you could trace it all back far enough, we are likely all related. Well except for the aliens that shipwrecked and mixed!! But even if that, if those aliens were close enough to mix, that may suggest that prior shipwrecked bunch of aliens were already here when the second batch of aliens were shipwrecked. Aww no matter how patriotic a person may be, or how protective you might be to retain a certain phenotypical set of characteristics, the simple truth is, we are ALL from somewhere else.
Your DNA can be altered if you received blood infusion. Or your Parents (most especially your Mom) had received blood infusion before you were conceived. Also, receiving blood infusion has a sensitive time frame.
I think when your husband first met your mom he high fived himself in his mind and thought to himself " YES!!! My wife is going to still be beautiful even when she is old " .
Finns are originally a North Asian people, with eastern ancestry, and I see that in a lot of MyHeritage DNA analyses that this Ancient North Asian gets "interpreted" as being Finnish because that is the closest ethnicity they have assigned to it in their databases. This doesn't mean you have a Finnish ancestor, but that you and the Finns share a common ancient Asian/East Asian ancestor group that no longer exists today as a distinct gene pool. This possibly also explains why you show Inuit ancestry. You probably just share an ancient ancestry with the Inuit, but are not part Inuit yourself. As far as 100% goes, I have seen rare 100% Korean results for Koreans who have used MyHeritage, but honestly, I think I may have seen only 2 such occurrences. Most Koreans do not show up as 100% Korean.
Here am I sitting in my house in Dublin only a good stones throw away from the nearest Scully ( its alright I won't throw it) thinking your mom looks so Japanese. Then you put up pictures of her looking even more beautiful... but wait she is embarrassed by her photo..... maybe I am biased because I think so many Japanese girls are beautiful. Maybe I am more like a Scully than I thought... not possible. My ancestors were French Huganot. Supposedly we could trace our family back to William the Conqueror though I only have records back into the mid 1500s But then I married an O'Connor, a daughter of one of the high Kings of Ireland and she has no idea how on earth I can say "I like Japanese girls because they look like you". She can't see it at all. She traces her family back to the Spanish Armada and claims one of them got lucky with one of her ancestors. Anyway it's all fun thanks for posting. PS if you were 100% Japanese you would say Skurry so that 1% probably gave you an ability to pronounce L 😂
My sister in law is “100%” Japanese but she’s pretty tall and big boned comparatively speaking. Her dad fessed up that there may be some Russian in their ancestry. 😂 all pre 23&me of course. My half Japanese nephew is 6 ft 5😅 All I can say is Mother Nature is a mad scientist. 😊
I really understood your mother when she talked about wondering if she was adopted. I felt the same way for much of my life, finally met a cousin that looked enough like me that I felt that I belonged in my family.
Inuit Finnish makes allot of sense based on the fishing routes in the Arctic back in the day. Inuit came over from Mongolia Siberia area 10,000 years ago.
I was thinking this too. The indigenous inhabitants of the Nordic region were the Saami whom have the closest genome to Siberians out of all Europeans. Over time, this group of Arctic people's genome has been diluted with European mixing.
I'm sure your right about the Mongolia thing being only 800 years , it was a Inuk that was teaching me about the Mongolia Inuit link and how similar there cultures were, but I'm not sure the 10,000 year thing is a myth because "13,000-year old human footprints found off Canada's Pacific coast" in 2018. And there was 3 waves of peoples to the America's the Inuit were the latest one 800 years, as you pointed out which is why they look so similar to Mongolians compared to there Native American counterpart . @@David-qk7um
Well, that’s kind of the “historical bias” recorded history has to get, well “recorded”. The Mongols were making records while the Inuit were trading, traveling and having children. 🤷 Not stuff that made the history books but did make our ancestors!!
Finns Russian -- go look up "Ingrian Finns". Possibly in your family's past someone was remembered as coming from Russia but was ethnically Finnish. Finland also borders Russia. Finland also dealt with forced deportations into Russia in the past. Ppl also constantly confuse Nationality and Ethnicity.
Yeah! Finland was ruled by Russia for a long time, and Russia has a long history of sending prisoners to Siberia-which would very likely be where your Inuit ancestry comes from!
And people like you confuse ethnicity with ancestry. Your ethnicity is your cultural identity, not your ancestral lineage. Just because she's a little bit Inuit by ancestry doesn't mean she's also ethnically a little bit Inuit.
I'm not surprised by the Finnish bit. You somehow look a bit like my aunt. 😂 I'm Finnish, btw. DNA tests often show a tiny bit East Asian or Arctic or even Amerindian for Finns. It's complicated. No, I'm no viking. No, Finland technically isn't in Scandinavia. Look up Uralic peoples. Finns were called China Swedes in the US back in the day. Yeah, an old German map even shows Finland as yellow for mongoloid. Anyways, AMA.
Yeah they even had laws banning the China Finns because they decided they weren't white they were closer to Siberians. They were only very partly right because the DNA does cross over a lot. Considering how much the Inuit move around the world over the past few thousand years, it makes since that the rest of the northern peoples would do a lot of the same, being nomadic.
Finns don't look like japanese a bit. or any other Asian countries . I used to live in other countries and everybody asked if I came from Sweden , Norway etc The same with other Finns as well. . Watch the video " Coding Ambassador &the Finnish Double flip -Education in Finland."
@@cinderellaandstepsisters No-one said that Finns in general look Japanese. Too tired to write a long reply on my phone but read the Eurogenes blog if you're interested in population genomics.
@@SuviTuuliAllan don't believe everything you hear or read. Trust what you see. Use your brains. Watch the video "Which country has the most blondies?" The answer is Finland. The other European countries have got asian dna even more than Finland by the way.
I'm brand new to your channel. The genetics brought me in (I'm a biochemist), but the adorable conversation with your Mom kept me glued to the screen. I absolutely love how open you and your mother are with each other.
Your mom is adorably funny! I was smiling and giggling while reading the subtitles of what she was saying. Both of you are cute when you talk to each other. ❤
@@zagrizena Google it Korean language is not related to Finnish at all. Finnish and Estonian languages are related.Nobody said that Norwegian , danish etc. are related. The loan words occur in every language. If you have loan words it doesn't mean the language is related. What do you learn at school?
@@cinderellaandstepsisters you're such a troll 🤣 A lot of people said Swedish/Norwegian/Danish/German are related. Linguists, not commenters. And of course there are some loanwords between even unrelated neighbouring languages, but claiming one language has mostly the same words as some other language, implies those are related somehow. Hence my question. As for the supposed Finnish-Korean loanwords that is a bit of a stretch. Either they are false cognates with separate etymology or those are loanwords from some other language related to Finnish (maybe some Mongolian or Russian ugro-finnic steppe language, if they are spoken that far East).
@@zagrizena For heaven's sake. Finnish Has A LOT OF LOAN WORDS FROM SWEDISH. Finland was directly a part of Sweden for over 600 years so it should not be so weird. I am a Finn and I know the history of my country. Don't even try to know more about Finland than Finnish ppl. Swedish is the second official language of Finland. Educate yourself. You are a troll!
Many Asians in Russia have same dna haplogroup as Finns but they look like East Asians or Central Asians not like Finnish people. Maybe that’s where it’s coming from. Really near to Japan that Asian part of Russia
Finns are predominantly Caucasian but probably like 8% of the population has some Asiatic admixture because of the Sami. Most of our ancestors didnt cross Racial lines, was only a small percentage
It must’ve been a great feeling when you’re mix. I’m glad your mom is happy with your heritage. It’s scary but I’m always wanting to try it out myself. I am Cambodian mix with euro. But then again, people assume I’m Hawaiian or Samoan for a Cambodian. Or Filipino. I need to start trying this now! ❤
How have I followed you since source fed days and I just now realized that Scully isn’t your actual last name!?! Duh!!! You’re a huge xfiles fan of course that’s your stage name.
Your mom is so adorable! Those old photos are precious. Fun video. I dunno if any of these DNA tests ever come back as 100% anything. I'd think not. Perhaps folks whose families have stayed in a narrow area of Africa for an extremely long time or something. Otherwise we're all some wonderful scramble of genetics. And phenotype is gonna phenotype. Genes can do plenty of unusual things regardless of expectation of how ethnicity presents physically or previous results through family lines. I never understand people who think they can always identify someone's ethnicity just by looking at them... or question it. Very odd to me.
There not, there was a news piece done with a set of identical twins (one of them being a journalist), who tried three seperate companies including the company that reinascully uses and they both got completely different results which is impossible if they are identical twins
Im 100% Caucasian. Most people are 100% 1 Race, usually only mixture of ethnicity within the same Race..the only 2 groups heavily mixed are modern Middle Easterners and modern Latin Americans.
I never realized you were so into languages. I wish you shared a bit of your learning techniques and how many languages you know. That would be so interesting to hear about ☺️. Also if possible can you give us an update in your mom’s results? Thank you
The Sami people, which is the Scandinavian equivalent of the inuit, has lived across the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia for thousands of years, so the likelihood that some of them came across the inuits isn't far fetched at all. So most likely that's the explanation for the Finnish in your DNA test.
Sami ppl are not Finns. Sami ppl are a different race with a completely different culture. Finland has not even got very many of them. Mostly Norway has them Sweden is the second Finland is the third and Russia has the smallest number of Sami ppl. Very often Sami ppl are represented as finns, but they are different ppl.
@@cinderellaandstepsisters You are partially wrong on all counts there. While most Sami are not Finns, most Finns are part Sami. Finland used to have many now blended tribes with their own Finno-Ugric dialects of 'Suomi/Sami' language with shared cultural roots in Asia.
@@Nuihc88 You are wrong . Sami ppl themselves say they have a completely different culture to all Nordic nations. They are very strict with it. For instance they don't want any finn or any other Nordic ppl to wear their national costume. Do you think other Nordic countries have not got dna of other nations? Little you know. All the ppl everywhere are mixed. By the way watch the video "Which country has the most blondies?" The answer is Finland. Percentually Finland has the most ppl with blue eyes and blond hair and they are tall.
