No. Parliament voted to ask him, but then the Kaiserreich fell and he was too embarrassed to take on the job.

Brings to mind, I heard one person did one of those DNA tests that figure out your ancestry. Thing is, they got a 100 % Finnish. The doctor said that they'd never seen anyone get a 100 % Finnish, and stressed that it was not a good thing, and insinuated that it might indicate that there's possible inbreeding in their family at some point.

Regarding the walrus, I really hope they can save her. And I really hope they don't just keep her in the zoo but return her to Greenland or wherever they usually hang out. :ohdear:

This is what they did in the olden days at rural areas, especially if you were poor. Back then marrying an outsider meant sharing the spoils with them, which was bad if your economic outlook wasn't good in the first place. Thus you had people marrying their cousins to keep what little property in the family.

Travel was also difficult because there were no roads in the sense we know them, and ordinary peasants didn't have leasure time to travel around just to meet new people. So you were forced to choose locally, which in sparsely populated areas didn't leave many choices.

Depends. Are you from the coast or inland? People in the coast hosed/married a lot of merchants and seamen (insert obvious joke of your choice here) from middle ages onwards, and lots of Finns have German/Baltic DNA in addition to the usual suspects Russian and Swedish, plus Karelian and Ingerian in the east/southeast and Sami in the north.

If you're from somewhere along the Kuopio-Kainuu axis, then odds are you're fuuuuucked.

This is the "logical" conclusion from our point of view, but it absolutely isn't the truth. People of all backgrounds traveled thousands of kilometers all the time even in the bronze age.

Are we talking about the bronze age? I thought this was about latest centuries. Subsistence farming requires you to stay put most of the time. Not many opportunities to just travel around spreading your seed in that.

Nobody used roads for the travel unless they were well off and had a horse to spare. Commerce and travel was done on boats and it wasn’t unusual to travel tens of kilometres just to go to church. Kirkkovene was a real thing and not just an euphemism. And landless people did travel extensively looking for work or just food.

Extremely so.

Finns are substantially genetically different from most european populations. See, for example, this:

For a long time, people were searching for "cousin populations" and ancient homelands where Finns came from to explain this difference. Study into mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosomes paints a different story, though: By our best current guess, Finland was more densely inhabited but has gone through at least one very tight population bottleneck, about 4000 years ago, taking the population down to ~200 people. Getting from that to today is mostly a whooole lot of cousin loving, and resulted in some interesting hereditary diseases.

I know, but there's a limit to how far you can travel that way by yourself just to find a spouse. It's unlikely that you will row or ski from Joensuu to Lappeenranta even if it's technically possible unless you have some serious trading to do. In an era of muscle powered travel it's a serious investment to travel so far.

Sure. I believe this is the original paper that presents the bottleneck hypothesis. There is sort of a whole field on the subject, most of the papers of which you can find by following the papers that cite that one. I could have sworn that there was a fairly recent review paper that presents all the newest stuff neatly, but can't seem to find it now.

This subject gets a bunch of research because Finnish population genetics are kind of weird and unique, in the "it's funny how hosed up we all are and yet still function" way. In sci-fi or fantasy there is occasionally the trope where people from like one ship start having kids with each other and eventually grow to populate a nation/planet/whatever, and it makes you wonder how sick a large population coming from such a small founder population would be. No need to wonder, we have a real-world example of that and it's called Savo.

Unless you were the eldest son to inherit the farm, you had to go anyway so what does it matter if you travel few days more to be piika or renki somewhere else?

And these were not some lovely 2-man rowboats, but more along lines of larger ones that vikings also used with 10 to 30 crew + passengers and sometimes sails.

Proudly Savo in the sixth generation (well of course more but that's where the first cameras and literate people started arriving in the village I guess)

Even my other half being from outside Finland didn't save me from getting Type 1 diabetes in my 20s. What kind of hosed up genetic nightmare results into that?

Can confirm, I'm half-Savonian and half-Tavastian and my family's genetics are so hosed up in so many different ways that my immediate family were research subjects for one of the University Hospital's programs and we had to go and give blood samples repeatedly for several years back when I was kid. And it's not even one specific thing, but a heightened risk for several different kinds of issues that initially do not appear to have any connection to each other.

I remember meeting this probable persunuori who claimed that the reason why every dude over the age of 50 used to die of heart attacks or strokes in a way that made even the rest of the world go "whoa" wasn't because of our crazy inbred genes but because people used to drink and smoke a lot and eat lot of greasy stuff here!

Reminder that the times we were talking about were the 1950s-70s when the rest of the world was famously tobacco-free and vegetarian. I have cousins whose father and literally every uncle on that side died of stroke before hitting 60 :stare:

To be fair, it's likely that it was particularly successful because of genetic predisposition. I know I carry a genetic lung disease from my Eastern Finnish side of the family. It's fine though, as long as I don't smoke.

I never met my dad's dad because he died of an heart attack in his late fifties with his lungs already shot, because he was smoker and a bit of drinker. Also a train driver, which might also have contributed, since apparently almost all of his friends/colleagues died the same way at around the same age.
