Ok. Impressive. But have they made an actual contribution to humanity? Like domesticating corn or potatoes, or coming up with a law system, or creating a language or a moral system? Srsly, real contributions

The potatoes the world consumes since the 18th century, were developed by chilean aboriginal farmers.

"However, Finns seem to mark an exception in European genetic groups, as they seem not to share strong genetic relationship ties with other European countries, but instead appear to be genetically a rather isolated group."

>>73486420
That's common amongst coastal aboriginals in colder climates. Ours had "sauna" as well. You don't know about it because your ancestors got so fucking rekt by them that they had no chance to get to know their saunas (i believe they had saunas in north america as well, not sure tho)

>The Nordic countries or Nordics[1] are a geographical and cultural region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic, where they are most commonly known as Norden (lit., "The North"). They consist of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, including their associated territories (Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the Åland Islands).

>>73486487
Just FYI Nordic is normally used as a cultural term, if you mean north-germanics you should just say north-germanics. Or Skandis

>>73486595
Explain to me, pekka, what is the difference between nordics and Scandinavians then, if im not understanding the term right.

Don't be so serious. Just bantz. True tho :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMoaJCd6qMk

>>73486636

It is a historical and cultural region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethnocultural North Germanic heritage and mutually intelligible North Germanic languages.

Also a Danish overseas territory, are sometimes included, as sometimes are Iceland, Finland and the Finnish autonomous region of the Åland Islands, because of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries and the Scandinavian peoples and languages. This looser definition almost equates to that of the Nordic countries. In Nordic languages, only Denmark, Norway and Sweden are commonly included in the definition of Scandinavia.

Swedes do pretty well when it comes to nobel prizes. Out of them some are useful, others not so much, but it indicates that Sweden has some decent scientists.
