Мы всегда думали, что финское население можно найти только в Финляндии, но в наши дни эта этническая группа не ограничивается только этой североевропейской страной. Термин финский не только представляет Финляндию, но также включает население из Швеции, в частности торнедальцев; Норвегии в таких городах как Кювен или Форест; а также в России, Ижора.

На сегодняшний день существует около 7 миллионов финнов, считая не только людей, которые проживают в стране, но и всех их потомков. Большая часть населения проживает в Финляндии и соседних с ней странах, таких как Швеция, Норвегия и Россия, но из-за миграции людей вы также можете встретить финнов в таких странах, как США, Канада, Австралия, Новая Зеландия, Бразилия и Аргентина.

Eastern Europe is the region of the European continent closest to Asia. There is no precise definition of the area it covers due to its different geographical, ethnic or social connotations. However, the region includes countries such as Russia, Poland, Estonia and Ukraine, the former being the largest and most populated and concentrating more than 15% of the total European population.

The region is characterized by Slavic, Greek, Byzantine and Ottoman cultural influences, which have contributed to its cultural heterogeneity. The region is made up of people belonging to dozens of ethnic groups such as Poles, Slovaks, Bosnians or Russians, among others, but with common cultural and/or genetic connections.

The British Isles, which include Great Britain and Ireland, are located northeast of the European coast. The British are descendants of various ethnic groups that settled in the area over the past millennia.

The British form a diverse, multinational and multicultural society. Thanks to genetic analyses carried out on ancient samples, it has been shown that the prehistoric native populations underwent a series of demographic events that led to their almost total replacement. Of particular note is the replacement of Mesolithic populations that took place around 6000 BC, with the arrival of Neolithic farming populations. In addition to their prehistoric roots, modern Britons are known to be descendants of several ethnic groups that settled in the islands at different times. These ethnic groups are the Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans.

Due, above all, to the important expansion during the 19th and 20th centuries, the British population is widely distributed throughout the world, with an important presence in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.

Scandinavia is a geographic and cultural region of northern Europe that includes Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The area is home to some 21 million people and its inhabitants speak the Nordic languages, although there are indigenous Sami-speaking minorities of Uralic origin.

Scandinavia has one of the world's most prosperous economies and is oriented towards exports and international trade. The region has undergone important migratory processes, with a strong emigration at the end of the First World War and an important arrival of immigrants after the Second World War, mainly from Finland, Iraq, Somalia, Germany and Syria.

The Scandinavian countries share much of their culture. They are strongly linked to the history of the Vikings, Germanic warriors from Scandinavia who were characterized by being great navigators, famous for their plundering and for leaving an important mark on European history.

Немцы принадлежат к германской этнической группе родом из Центральной Европы. Хотя подсчёт численности немцев зависит от применяемых критериев, по оценкам, она составляет около 150 миллионов человек, из которых 62,5 миллиона проживают в Германии, что составляет 42% от общей численности населения. Тем не менее немцы широко расселены по всей планете, в значительной степени в Соединенных Штатах, где проживает более 60 миллионов лиц германского происхождения, треть немецкой диаспоры. Также значительные общины немцев живут в Бразилии, Канаде, Аргентине, Южной Африке и Франции.

Родным языком немцев является немецкий язык, второй по распространённости германский язык после английского. Он принадлежит к семейству индоевропейских языков. Что касается религии, в настоящее время треть населения составляют протестанты, другая треть - католики, а оставшаяся треть - нерелигиозные. Важно отметить, что немецкое общество внесло большой вклад в развитие во многих областях, таких как наука, философия или литература.

Французы - это этническая группа, принадлежащая к Романо язычному населению, происходящая из современной Франции. Исторически сложилось так, что французы имеют преимущественно галльское или кельтское, латинское и германское происхождение, но также имеют влияние баскского, иберийского, италийского или греческого народов и других. Франция давно была мозаикой местных обычаев и региональных различий, что отражается на языке. Хотя большинство говорит на французском языке, принадлежащем к семейству индоевропейских языков, в других регионах, говорят на окситанском, каталанском, корсиканском, баскском или эльзасском.

Население Франции оценивается примерно в 95 миллионов человек. Из них около 67 миллионов проживают во Франции, остальные в других странах, таких как Соединенные Штаты, Алжир, Бельгия, Буркина-Фасо, Камерун, Канада, Германия или Марокко и многих других. Большинство французов принадлежат к католической церкви, хотя можно встретить и протестантских, иудейских или мусульманских представителей, а также атеистов или агностиков.

Термин французский баск относится к группе людей, происходящих из северной Испании и юго-запада Франции, расположенных по обе стороны западных Пиренеев. Происхождение баскского языка породило множество теорий, некоторые из которых ведут свое происхождение от первых палеолитических поселенцев Европы. В этом смысле они были связаны с другими европейскими и средиземноморскими популяциями, такими как иберийцы, пикты, ирландцы, валлийцы, берберы или этруски.

Баскский язык не связан ни с одним из индоевропейских языков. Благодаря многочисленным генетическим исследованиям считается, что баски являются потомками первых жителей Западной Европы; в частности, из франко-кантабрийского региона, которые смешались с первыми группами неолитических фермеров, прибывающих на Пиренейский полуостров.

Ашкенази являются потомками евреев, которые поселились в Центральной и Восточной Европе в средневековые времена, в основном в Германии, Австрии, Венгрии, Чехии, Украине и Румынии, и других. Они разработали определенные обычаи и законы, которые отличают их от других еврейских народов, таких как их собственный язык, идиш, который сочетает в себе термины из немецких диалектов наряду с некоторыми славянского или еврейского происхождения.

Население ашкенази оценивается в 11,2 миллиона человек. Некоторые исследователи указывают, что они составляют 70% мирового еврейского населения. Имеют широкую диаспору, и, населяют Соединенные Штаты Америки (5-6 миллионов человек), Израиль (2,8 миллиона), Россию, Аргентину, Великобританию, Канаду и т.д.

История народа отмечена нацистским Холокостом во время Второй мировой войны, когда две трети евреев-ашкенази были убиты, что также привело к массовой миграции в другие регионы.

Иберийское население берет начало на Пиренейском полуострове, на юго-западе Европы. Понятие иберийцы относится к жителям Андорры, Португалии и Испании. Хотя термин «иберийский» использовался для идентификации всех жителей полуострова, существует еще один более ограниченный этнический смысл, который определяет их как этическую группу, оккупировавшую восточный и южный Пиренейский полуостров. Эти люди, имеющие греческие и римские корни, находились под влиянием других средиземноморских городов.

Известно, что первые поселенцы прибыли на Пиренейский полуостров более 40 000 лет назад из южной Франции. Пиренейский полуостров на протяжении всей истории был перекрестком для многих этнических групп в Средиземноморье, Центральной и Восточной Европе. Это сегодня отражается в большом культурном разнообразии их нынешнего населения. Кроме того, из-за роли, которую сыграли Испания и Португалия в 15 веке, времени открытий и колонизации, большая часть жителей Южной Америки являются потомками иберийского населения.

Населении Италии происходит с полуострова Италия, расположенного на юге Европы, занимающего обширное положение в центре Средиземного моря.

Население Италии насчитывает около 55 миллионов жителей. С конца девятнадцатого до середины двадцатого века происходило массовое перемещение итальянцев в разные районы мира. Более известное как «итальянская диаспора». По оценкам, сегодня более 80 миллионов человек по всему миру имеют прямое или частичное происхождение от итальянцев.

Италия является колыбелью Римской империи, которая доминировала над всей Западной Европой и Средиземноморьем с момента возникновения в 8 веке до нашей эры и до исчезновения в 5 веке. Этот период оставил неизгладимый след в образе западной цивилизации, известной сегодня. На генетическом уровне современные итальянцы имеют генетические различия между своими популяциями на севере и юге. Южные итальянцы ближе к средиземноморскому населению, как например грекам, в то время как северные итальянцы ближе к иберийцам и французам на юге.

Термин сардинцы был использован для описания жителей итальянского острова Сардиния в Западном Средиземноморье. Исследователи считают, что первые жители Сардинии прибыли с Пиренейского полуострова и итальянского полуострова. Однако, как и в случае с другими изолированными популяциями, современные сардинцы значительно отличаются от других европейских популяций. Различные исследования показали, что сардинская популяция демонстрирует четкую генетическую дифференциацию по отношению к остальной популяции в их географической среде, поскольку ее нынешние генетические варианты считаются редкими с высокой частотой.

Недавние исследования о происхождении сардинской популяции на основе их генетического состава показали, что эта этническая группа была ближе всего к первой неолитической популяции более 10 000 лет назад, отсюда происходило заселение Европы с востока, вытеснившей палеолитическую популяцию.

The Balkan peninsula, delimited to the north by the Balkan Mountains, is one of the three great peninsulas of southern Europe. The area, besides being surrounded by seas, is crossed by multiple rivers such as the Danube, the Var or the Struma, which facilitate communication between the different regions.

The area includes several countries such as Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Albania and part of Turkey, with a population of almost 53 million inhabitants. A multitude of different languages are spoken in the area, predominantly the Slavic language group (Bulgarian, Slovenian or Macedonian), Greek, and a group of Neo-Latin languages (such as Romanian or Moldavian). In addition, the heterogeneity of the area is also evident in the different cultures of its inhabitants.

The majority ethnic group in the area are the Greeks or Hellenes, with a population of more than 15 million people. They are native to Greece, Cyprus and some other Balkan regions, although, as a result of their enormous historical expansion, they constitute a significant diaspora, with Greek communities established all over the world. In ancient times, the Greeks were organized in city-states where the concept of democracy originated. Their main language is the Greek language, spoken since the time of Ancient Greece. It is an Indo-European language that constitutes a branch in itself and is closely related to Armenian and Indo-Iranian languages. This ethnic group is credited with very notable contributions to the field of universal culture, such as the first alphabet or important foundations in the field of philosophy.

The Maghreb is a region located in North Africa that includes the westernmost part of the Arab world. The region includes Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Western Sahara and Tunisia, as well as the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. It has a population of more than 87 million people.

The original inhabitants of the Maghreb were the Imazighen, generally called Berbers in English. With the arrival of the Arabs in the 7th century, the population of the Maghreb converted to Islam and began a long process of linguistic and cultural Arabization. The region has received several waves of migration, such as the arrival of the Andalusians, the Ottoman Empire or the French colonization, which have left their mark on the different cultures. Today, most of the inhabitants of the Maghreb speak Maghrebi Arabic, although there is also a percentage of inhabitants who speak the Berber language, French or Spanish.

Senegal and Gambia are the two West African countries located furthest west of the continent. The former, with more than 15 million inhabitants, is named after the Senegal River that marks its northern border. The second, with a much smaller area and just over 2 million inhabitants, is completely surrounded by Senegal and situated on the banks of the Gambia River.

Both countries share a past strongly associated with the slave market, first by the Portuguese and later by the British Empire. In addition, much of their customs and culture are also shared. Throughout the region, the majority religion is Islam. They are also known for their excellent music and typical dances.

In the area, there are a number of endemic ethnic groups, the Mandinka being the most numerous, representing more than 30% of the population of both countries. Their population is over 13 million and their main language is Mandinka, with numerous dialects. They are predominantly Muslim, but very few dress in the Arab style and few women wear veils. Most of them are now farmers or fishermen and are highly esteemed djelis or bards, who are traditional storytellers who keep the history of the people alive.

Sierra Leone and Liberia are two West African countries founded to repatriate enslaved and subsequently freed people to the African continent in the 19th century. During this period, freed slaves founded Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. Due to the British influence in both countries, the official and most spoken language is English.

This region, with more than 10 million inhabitants, is one of the least developed in the world due to various social problems, although it possesses important mineral and fishing resources and an agriculture to be promoted. Nearly two thirds of its inhabitants live from agriculture and industry is limited to the processing of raw materials. The culture of both countries has a mixture of African and English elements.

There are several ethnic groups in the region, the Mandé people being the most numerous. They represent about 30% of the total population. Their main activities are cattle raising and hunting, which they carry out in a little mechanized way. Their main language is Mendé and they are characterized by a curiosity, and that is that their men are initiated early in the Poro society in which they are prepared to achieve wisdom, responsibility and gain power, with a duration of several years. During this period, members converse with each other using a secret language and passwords known only to other members.

Kenya and Uganda are two East African countries, the former with 46 million inhabitants and the latter with 1.2 million. Both share Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world and an important source of wealth for the inhabitants of the area. The region is known for its important biodiversity.

Due to its climate and natural resources, agriculture is the most important sector in the region with coffee as the main product. The culture in Kenya and Uganda is very diverse due to the coexistence of a multitude of ethnic groups, such as the Luyia and Luo.

The Luyia people, with more than 10 million people, represent 14% of the inhabitants of the region and are the most important ethnic group in Kenya. Their language is Luhya, derived from the Bantu languages. Their culture includes polygamy, although it is less and less practiced.

The Luo represent more than 10% of the population of the area, with more than 7 million people, and they speak the Luo language as well as Swahili and English. As a curiosity, in this ethnic group the names traditionally given to children reflected aspects related to pregnancy or childbirth, such as the season of the year or the time of birth.

The term pygmy is used to designate a group of human groups living in Central Africa, especially in the African equatorial forests, and characterized by their short stature. Together with the Bushmen or San, they are considered the oldest inhabitants of Africa. The latter are mostly located in the south of the continent.

The pygmies hunt in a very traditional way, with nets, arrows and javelins, and gather fruits, tubers and honey. They speak several languages, although they share some words, which indicates that in the past they may have had a common language. The inbreeding practiced among them and their isolation in forests has caused a different evolution from the rest of the African peoples. For this reason, there are clear elements common to all of them: their short stature and their short life expectancy of between 15 and 24 years.

The San or Bushmen are also traditionally hunter-gatherers and speak Joisan languages, characterized by the incorporation of clicking sounds. They are composed of several villages and have a population of about 105,000 people. Their society has been extensively studied and in it, women play an important role, with an elevated status from which they can make important decisions.

The Arabian Peninsula and Egypt are located at the confluence of Africa and Asia. Because of their geographical proximity, both regions share important cultural and social aspects, with a common majority language, Arabic.

Egypt borders the Mediterranean to the north and the Red Sea to the east. It is mainly a desert region, but is crossed by the Nile River, which has provided the country with very fertile, densely populated areas and has marked the rich history of the region. Egypt was the cradle of the ancient Egyptian civilization and, together with the Mesopotamian civilization, was the origin of today's Western culture, decisively influencing the history of mankind. Different ethnic groups coexist in the country, with the Egyptians being the majority group with more than 100 million inhabitants, followed by the Bedouins, Gypsies and Nubians, with more than 1 million people each.

The Arabian Peninsula and the Mediterranean Levant include countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, among others. It is generally a largely desert area, although the presence of monsoons in the south and east allows for agricultural activities. Arab identity should not be confused with religious affiliation, although most Arabs today are Muslims, with small Christian minorities.

Turkey, Iran and the Caucasus are located in Western Asia and include more than 183 million people.

The Caucasus, named after a mountain range, includes Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. The peoples currently residing in this area speak about 100 different languages and dialects, most of which belong to the Caucasian language family. It is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in the world where some groups, such as the Adyghe, have been present for thousands of years and others, such as the Russians, arrived a few centuries ago. It is an ecologically rich area with a wealth of mineral and energy resources. It has a rich folkloric tradition with many connections to ancient Indian, Scandinavian and Greek cultures.

The majority ethnic group in Turkey is the Turkic people, although their presence is not limited to this country. This area, due to its strategic position, has been a historical crossroads between different cultures and civilizations, which is reflected in its heterogeneous culture.

Iran, whose official language is Persian, is home to the Iranian peoples, a group of ethnic groups that share the Iranian languages and originate from the Iranian plateau. Although the majority of Iranian peoples live in Iran, they are widely distributed with significant presence also in other regions of East and West Asia, with an estimated total population of about 210 million people.

The name Bedouin is attributed to the nomadic Arab population that inhabits the deserts of the Near East, the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa. Their origin is established in the Arabian Peninsula, although during the Arab conquests of the 7th century they expanded widely throughout the rest of the regions. It is estimated that the Bedouin population amounts to more than 25 million people settled mainly in Sudan, where they are the majority ethnic group, followed by Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, among other countries.

Today's Bedouins are generally organized into tribes. Their main language is Badawi or Beye, a language of Afro-Asiatic origin widely spoken in the vicinity of the Red Sea. Their economy is centered on cattle raising and they organize their life around this activity. They are constantly on the move in search of water and pasture. As for their religion, most of them are Sunni Muslims.

Central Asia consists of five countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It includes more than 71 million people, although it is one of the least densely populated regions. Central Asia has historically been characterized by its nomadic peoples and its location on the Silk Road. The aridity of the area and its remoteness from the sea have made it difficult to practice agriculture and trade, the main reason for the nomadic nature of its peoples.

During the Middle Ages, the region was predominantly composed of Iranian peoples, with current representation in the area through the Pashtuns, Pamiris or Tajiks. After the expansion of the Turkic peoples, it also became the homeland of the Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and Uyghurs and, as a result, this region is also called Turkestan.

The Japanese people are the native ethnic group of the Japanese archipelago, consisting of 6852 islands. The Japanese represent almost the entire population of Japan, which currently numbers about 130 million inhabitants and shares a common language, Japanese. In addition, it is estimated that about 4 million Japanese or their descendants live outside Japan, mainly concentrated in Brazil and the United States.

The oldest archaeological evidence from the Japanese archipelago shows the presence of Paleolithic hunter-gatherer groups dating back more than 39,000 years, when there was still a land connection with the Asian continent. Ethnographically, there are three distinct groups that encompass the term Japanese: the Yamato, the Ainu and the Ryukyuan. Yamato people are the largest group and are generally identified in a general way with the Japanese ethnic group.

Дайы - одна из 56 официально признанных этнических групп в Китае. Население в настоящее время составляет более 1 миллиона человек, находится на юго-западе страны, в провинции Юньнань.

С точки зрения антрополгии, мы не можем сказать, что народность Дай это однородная группа, поскольку в действительности она состоит из разных групп с общими характеристиками. На лингвистическом уровне выделяются два диалекта: тай понг и тай дам. Эти диалекты народа дай относятся к группе тайских языков, которая, в свою очередь, является подгруппой семьи тай-кадай, широко распространенной в Юго-Восточной Азии. В этом смысле существуют другие группы населения, тесно связанные с народностью, дай в соседних странах, таких как Лаос, Бирма, Таиланд, Вьетнам и Индия.

Хань относится к восточной этнической группе, происходящей из Китая. Это самая большая этническая группа в мире, которая насчитывает около 1,2 миллиарда человек, что составляет 92% населения Китая и около 18% населения мира.

Происхождение народа хань берет начало в конфедерации племени, известного как хуаксия, которое обитало вдоль реки Хуанхэ во времена неолита. 2000 лет назад культура расширилась от этой области до юга, поглощая различные этнические группы на своем пути. Экспансия стала одной из первых великих эпох в истории Китая и которая также сделала его главной региональной державой на востоке.

Melanesians are the indigenous inhabitants of the region of Melanesia, a sub-region of Oceania stretching from New Guinea in the West to Tonga in the East and including Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.

People in this region have a distinctive ancestry. Studies indicate that the first settlers in the region arrived during the migration of Africans to Asia between 50 000 and 100 000 years ago. Much later, between 4000 and 3000 BC, an influx of Austronesian migrants arrived in Melanesia. According to historians, there was a long period of interaction between the latter and the pre-existing inhabitants, resulting in numerous complex genetic, linguistic and cultural mixtures.

The indigenous people of South and Central America, also called aborigines or American Indians, are the original inhabitants of this geographic area. In many cases, their descendants maintain their culture and customs. Their origin is not entirely clear, although it is believed that they are descendants of groups of hunters who migrated to America through the Bering Strait during the last Würm glaciation.

Native American cultures vary enormously due to their widespread distribution throughout the continent, although they share a predilection for music and for having agriculture and livestock as their main economic engines.

This category includes the Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec and Mixe ethnic groups (Mexico), the Quechua (Peru and Bolivia), Karitiana and Surui (Brazil), Chane (Argentina) and Piapoco (Colombia and Venezuela).

This category includes the Pima or Akimel O'odham people. This is an indigenous group located in Arizona (United States) and in the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua, whose name refers to their origin as "people of the river". The current Pima people have a few hundred inhabitants whose main occupation is cattle ranching.

According to ethnolinguistic research, the Pima people originated in western Canada, from where they descended across California to their current location, where they had to fight with the Seri ethnic group in order to establish themselves. At the genetic level, it has been verified that the members of the Pima ethnic group are descendants of the first people who arrived in the American continent from East Asia more than 15,000 years ago.
