Over at my Substack, I just closed out a six-part series relating to the genetics and culture of Finland.
- Part one: Duke Tales: shades of Finnish cultural weirdness in my own backyard (ungated)
- Part two: Weirdness as a national pastime: culture
- Part three: Go West Young Siberian: genetics findings
- Part four: From deepest Siberia to Europe’s edge
- Part five: Frontier Finns: cabins, rakes & Indians
- Part six: Finnish brains, baiting and bottlenecks
(also, see my recent podcasts with Patrick Wyman [ungated] and Karl Smith)
I downloaded the text and sent it to my friend who really is a Finlander (and one of the world’s leading authorities on Beowulf and Old English literature). He really enjoyed it.
