Is it true that the ancestors of Hungarians and Finns were Asiatic tribes from the east of the Urals?

I learnt that the ancestors of Hungarians and Finns were Asiatic tribes from the east of the Urals, though both countries lie in Europe.


But I couldn't associate today's Hungarians and Finns with any kind of Asians, judging by their appearance.


I'm also from Asia (more precisely from Korea in the Far East).


Many of both people have blond hair like ordinary Europeans.Is it true that the ancestors of Hungarians and Finns were Asiatic tribes from the east of the Urals?
Hungary comes from the word Hun. Huns were a Central Asian equestrian semi-nomadic people who ventured deep into to Europe to establish settlements and interbred with the local populations.





The Tartars, were a Turkic-Persian (Iranians) people who also settled deep into the interiors of Europe.





The Mongols were a Northeast Asian nomadic people who conquered the largest land empire the world had ever seen, including most of Eastern Europe. They ruled for 300 years and their offspring populated the regions from Russia to the present day Czech Republic.





On the other side of the story, Arab traders had been venturing to Asia for nearly 1500 years. Reaching the Korean peninsula and writing that it was a ';Land where the mountains are covered in mist.';





Today Eastern Europeans are mix of many different Asiatic and Turkic people. Russians call Europe, ';Eurasia'; since there really isn't two continents geological but one giant continent that spans from the English Channel to the Pacific Ocean and south into Turkey connected to the Middle east.


Asia also has people who have Turkic ancestors, particularly the Uighurs in western China.Is it true that the ancestors of Hungarians and Finns were Asiatic tribes from the east of the Urals?
The history of Hungary starts in the 9th century with the arrival of the Magyars in the Carpathian Basin. They spoke, like modern Hungarians, an Uralic language belonging to the Finno-Ugric language group. Their original composition probably included Iranian and Turkish people, while other populations were already present in the territory (Avars, Slavs, Germans). Some of the Hungarian ethnic groups claim to be descendants of ancient Magyars settlers (such as the Ors茅g), others of Huns, Turks or Iranians. We collected and compared the previously published gene frequencies of eight ethnic groups and seven hypothetical ancestral populations, including Uralics, applying a model of admixture. The results, most of which confirm historical hypotheses or the oral tradition, show that only one ethnic group (Ors茅g) highly resembles the Uralic population.
the Hungarian and Finnish languages (Finno-Ugrian) originated east of the Urals. this doesn't necessarily mean modern speakers of these languages do. you speak English, yet you are not English, right?
Originally yes, but keep in mind environmental influences over the 1000s of years.
