• Amazing, especially with the new published gnome for the Russian who is of Finno-Ugric or Uralic and Mongolian decendancy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_peoples#Finno-Ugric_identity

• Amazing, especially with the new discoveries in the gnome of "Russian" people. They are an extraction or descendants of Finno-Ugric or Uralic and Mongolian peoples!

  • I think Mongolian horses too

• Let us not forget about the Flood as described in the Bible, Noa's Ark and all that. Some researchers claim that it was the flooding of the Black sea, which originally was considerably below sea level. when a crack at the Bosphorus opened up and filled up the Black sea to its present level. The population living on the shores of the original Black sea would have fled in all directions, This certainly would send the genes in all directions as well.

• Fascinating connection. I've always felt a special affinity for the people of Ireland, especially after travelling to that beautiful country.

• True about the origins of Russians, however, recent videos of captured Russians shows that many have blue or hazel eyes and the physiognomy of Slavs. There has been a lot of intermarriage....
  The book, Celtic Mythology by Ward Rutherford, 1987 Aquarian Press, Great Britain, details the influence of the Scythians on Irish art, and the similarities in rituals, respect for women, etc

• Here is one of the proofs (really deep reseach by american scientist):

• It started near the Black Sea. The migration to Iran and India happened centuries later... Then... to Western Europe... You have to read more about recent genetic and discoveries. I personally would recommend this book for the start:

  "David Anthony identifies the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia's steppe grasslands as the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European, and shows how their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and the warrior's chariot turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange. He explains how they spread their traditions and gave rise to important advances in copper mining, warfare, and patron-client political institutions, thereby ushering in an era of vibrant social change. Anthony also describes his fascinating discovery of how the wear from bits on ancient horse teeth reveals the origins of horseback riding."
