Civilization moved from Russia hundreds years ago, and settled in the rest of Europe. Actually, Swedish,?

Question

English and Germans----They all Russian with a different pigment and different language which had developed throughout time. Before, Europe and the island of England were empty, must be some people came from old Europe and inhabited it. Do you agree with this???????????????

Answer 1

There is very little evidence to support this claim, though certainly a number of linguistic groups show traces of having moved from the central European steppe into western Europe. This is not to say that these groups were ethnically Russian in a way we might consider today. The Celts and later the Germanic tribes seem to have come into western Europe from the steppe, but Europe was inhabited by other peoples well before we can historically place these groups. In fact, many of the tribes we think of as Celts, Goths, Franks, etc. were not large ethnic blocs, but tended to be related culturally and linguistically and traveled in ad hoc bands. Both Celts and the Germanic tribes tended to absorb or be absorbed by other peoples. And we have evidence of all of these groups having lived in areas that were previously populated. Archaeological evidence of first migrations of peoples from Africa through Asia and Europe is extremely scarce and theoretical models of migrations have to be reworked nearly every time there is a new discovery.

As a political entity Russia was founded by the Varangians, a Germanic tribe that had settled for a time in what is now Sweden, who followed the Volga and established what would become St. Petersburg and Moscow. The Varangians might have ruled, but they were a minority among the people they ruled, who were Slavs. The Slavs were another group that ultimately pushed into eastern Europe from the steppe, and probably had something to do with much of the western movements of Germanic tribes. Slavic farming techniques and political organization were rather different from those of their western neighbors, and aided in the cultural diffusion of Slavic culture and language in eastern Europe.

Ultimately, however, it is probably quite wrong to think of nations as timeless cultural and linguistic blocs migrating through time, displacing one another on political maps. There is no way to essentialize what is "Russian", "Germanic", "Celtic" or "Slav." People who have identified themselves as belonging to one group or another have done so for markedly different reasons throughout time and few could name characteristics of their own group that they would not share with other groups to which they do not belong. This is especially true of Germanic tribes, for which we have historical evidence. These were not cultural blocs, but rather were composites of regional groups hoping to gain advantage by the military and political successes of the groups leaders. Thus we find more than a few Romans as soldiers within the Gothic armies and vice versa.

Answer 2

Definitely agree, especially since there is proof of this. (However, there was no "Russia" in those days, therefore, these people were not Russian, England was not England, etc. You can't give ethnicity or specific homelands to ancient peoples. Also, "Russia" is too ambiguous to be used in this way, anyway. There were different "peoples" before, say, barbarians, Visigoths, etc., etc., and you don't have countries to go by with them, just geographical areas--like, say, the Teutonic people (today's Germans), could be called Germanic if they occurred later in history. They were Teutonic, not German. The "area" that is now Germany. The Celts are not called Salzburgers, after all, are they?

Answer 3

ok as for pores and skin tone right here the way it is going. There are 6 genetic markers each and each with 4 obtainable pair of dna ids. at, ta, cg, and gc that makes 1296 genetically identifiable pores and skin tones. Now upload to that extremely violet rays from the sunlight and that will strengthen it to greater or less a million.2 million identifieable skintones. Thats one skintone for approximately 5500 human beings. With that plenty pores and skin pigment alteration, migration types seem beside the point.

Answer 4

not accurate
after ice age they migrated from south
but russian stepps took longer to thaw
coastal regions thawed first
and scandanavians moved down the rivers into russia

Answer 5

aren't we all just humans with different pigment and different language which have developed throughout time?
