The migration of the Finnic and Germanic speaking peoples to Scandinavia is a very complex issue. Care must be taken to nor show a bias or priority of any group to be the real Scandinavian people. I changed the page so that is does not imply the primacy of any one people. While PIE peoples began appearing in Scandinavia 4000 years ago, there is no proof that these were Germanic peoples. Both groups merged with or largely replaced earlier peoples who were already living in those areas and these migratory events happened independently, separately, without contact and largely during the same time frame (corded-ware culture). When distinguishing these groups historically, it also helps to not call one group Scandinavian as this implies historical preference. Both the Nordic and Finnic peoples are Scandinavian and both have equal claims being called Scandinavian people.
