The prehistory of Finland in a nutshell
When was the first human settlement established in Finland? Until very recently it has been thought that the first people to arrive did not come until just over 10,000 years ago during the Mesolithic period. Finds from the warm interglacial period before the last Ice Age had been limited to plant and animal remains, including mammoth bones and teeth. There had been no discoveries of anything suggesting human activity this far back.
