What the fuck is a slav and where were they during most of early history?
>>3052164
They were hiding in the Pripyet marshes
>>3052173
Pripet marshes is a literal meme theory based only on linguistic experiments. Slavs were always living in the Elbe-Vistula region, they were just called Veneti in the antiquity.

That's Germanic land

They were called Scythians in Classical times. Although they spoke an Iranian language, they were the ancestors of modern Slavs.

How convenient for Poles
>>3052182
>Veneti
Why do i hear that name so much in roman descriptions of barbarians?
There were veneti in britain, gaul, and cisalpine gaul and now apperantly in fucking poland.
These Veneti cunts got around.

Apparently they were linguistically close to Italians
Homo erectus remnants

>The Poles are the truest and purest Slavs!
>>3052164
Slavs are what we whites used to be in the late mesolithic(15,000 B.C), they are hated because slavs are basically feral dumb white people.

Makes you think.

>Slavs are dumb
Where does this meme come from? Slavic countries (minus the Balkans which isn't really Slavic) have the same IQ as other Europeans.

>What the fuck is a slav
Slavic was a language (or a group of languages) that became the lingua franca of Eastern Europe during a shit period of history where all kinds of barbarians migrated into all kinds of directions. A lot of these tribes, of various origins, came to form the Slavic masses which further mixed with and assimilated the natives of the lands they migrated to. The natives (like Dalmatian Latin-speakers) were an easy target for assimilation due to the collapse of Roman infrastructures.
Avar, for example, are a non-Slavic people, yet it seems that they have also adopted Slavic language for the sake of simplicity and the ability to communicate with many other groups that formed their force. Turkic Bulgars also adopted Slavic after settling. Etc. So Slavs are not so much an ethnic supergroup as much as they are a linguistic one.

Nazi racial ideology, I guess.
>>3053259
Nazis actually never pushed that meme. I think the only ones who unironically claimed that Slavs are retards were the Anglos, especially Madison Grant.

>Scythians
Hahahah no

>Did the Balts and Finno-Ugrics migrate further north or they were removed by the slavs?
Neither. They mixed with the slavs.
>>3053739
but the belorussians and russians look not much different than poles and not at all like ugrics
>>3053747
You've never seen a Belarusian. And Russians very much look like Finno-Ugrics, especially northern Russians.
