Where did the Finno-Ugric people come from?

Sources are below. Since genetics and archeology are both very rapidly developing fields, some of the information in this video may become dated in the future. But I hope I gave you a good idea of when and how the Finno-Ugric migration into Europe took place. Things get more complex as Finno-Ugrians diverge into various subgroups at the end of the Bronze Age, so I will be tackling these subgroups in future videos. Look out for a video on Ugric and Hungarian migrations, as well as the Finnic expansion across the Baltic. I also purposefully didn’t talk about genetics in this video, since it needs a deeper explanation for those who aren’t familiar with the field, so a video on Finno-Ugric genetics is also on the table.
