Locating Proto-Uralic

[Jaska]

Since the beginning, the Uralic homeland has been located on either side of the Urals: in the Volga-Ural Region in Europe or in Southwestern Siberia. Here I give some relevant articles from the recent decades, so that readers may acquaint themselves with arguments most often applied on the topic.

Most popular archaeological correlation has recently been the Seima-Turbino Network. Most popular genetic counterparts have been certain subclades of paternal haplogroup N and certain Siberian autosomal component (Nganasan-like ~ Kra001-like ~ Yakutia_LNBA-like).
