Description: New DNA-analyses show that the descendant of half of the ancestors of 100% North-Saamis today live in Finland and North-West Russia. y-chromosome analyses reveal that far back they had common paternal lines with most Finns living today, but that these lines separated about 2000 years ago.

The origins of the Saamis have always been a mystery, but there has never been a shortage of fairy tales when it comes to this matter. With the combined use of modern DNA analyzes and linguistic methods, however, a well-founded picture of the Sami origins is now emerging.
For approx. three thousand years ago, people began to migrate from Northern Siberia westwards to present-day Finland. Originally, all these people spoke the same ancient language. As time went on, the language spoken by the different subgroups of migrants, began to split into different dialects and eventually several different languages. Finnish linguists have concluded that the Saami language originated approx. 2000 years ago in a subgroup that lived in the geographical area where today one finds Finland a
