      Central Asia was a mix of three chief populations before Indo-European takeover:
      * Neolithic Iranian farmers (from Iran obviously),
      * Western Siberian hunter gatherers (from the old migration across the Caucasus), and
      * Ancient North Eurasians (from the Ancient North Siberians ultimately from across the Caucasus as well as Ancient Northeast Asians from northern China).
      After Indo-Europeans arrived there, the Eastern European hunter gatherer and Neolithic Caucasian farmer genes they brought also became dominant.

      According to the most prominent theories in evolution, humans mostly became smarter for the purpose of being adaptable in the changing and different climates (Africa back then shifted from forests to grasslands to deserts, and vice versa, while we also migrated as nomads, including to the cold mountains and arid valleys). So that isn’t quite surprising

    Xiongnu was Turkic language too:
    The history of the Gaoju is given in the respective entry in WS 103 + (pp. 2505-2508); until the beginning of Text 1.056/B it is extracted as follows.
    高車,蓋古赤狄之餘種也初號為狄歷,北方以為敕勒,諸夏以為高車、丁零。 其語略與匈奴同而時有小異,或云其先匈奴之也。
    The Gaoju are probably the remaining tribes of the ancient Chidi [lit. 'the red Di']. Initially they were called Dili. People in the north called them Chile, whereas people in China proper called them Gaoju or Dingling.
    Their language is roughly the same as that of the Xiongnu but at times has minor differences from that. Some say that their ancestors were the nephew of [i.e. indirectly related to] the Xiongnu.

    One thing: We know that the people of northern Scandinavia and Kola must have spoken languages that are now lost, before they became the Sami (I've seen estimates that upwards of a third of Sami word roots are are of unknown origin). It's also not clear exactly when they began speaking Uralic, but > 3000 years ago sounds a bit early to me. Anyway, I think these videos are really impressive, and you've obviously done a lot of research. Just my two cents on an area I know a little about.

    Good stuff but again Indo-European(pre-proto Germanic) is unfairly left out.
    The Battle Axe Culture(Corded Ware derived) extended far North of the Arctic circle in Norway, about as far North as Tromsø. This developed into the Nordic Bronze Age culture, which subsequently became the Germanic speaking Scandinavians.
    This pre-dates the presence of Uralic speakers in Scandinavia by a long time and should not be left out.
    The human finds at Ostrov Bolshoy Oleny on the Kola peninsula of Russia are the oldest people whose genetic ancestry looks similar to later Saamic speakers and these finds date to about 1500BCE, which is more recent than Corded Ware(Indo-European) presence in Scandinavia.
    This is a not a fringe idea, its the concensus in archeogenetics.
