In order to give valid answers to questions like ''Who are the Finns?'' and ''Where did the Finns come from?'' it is not sufficient to consider exclusively the Finns; it is of vital importance to consider also the genetic, linguistic and cultural relationships of the Finns to many other populations of their neighbourhood. The populations dealt with in this article for this purpose are the Sami, the Samoyeds, the peoples speaking other Finno- Ugric languages (i.e. the Volgans, Permians, and Ugrians) as well as the populations speaking Germanic, Baltic and Slavic languages.
