What is very strange in Scandinavian history is that it does not discuss about times 2000 - 3000 years before present. The problem is that during that time there were no Sweds in Sweden in its present sence. There were only original Europeans speaking Finnish. Actually, the language change is still continuing - the whole N Sweden speaks still Finnish. The Scandinavian should be more interested in the original Europeans ... it is most likely that the people of Scandinavia are genetically more original Europeans than Indo-European (even if the language has changed).
