@Corson You are right my friend, Finns are "mixed race" between Finns/Swedish and Norwegian/Swedish and Danish are in a way more homogeneous race.
Here is wide investigation," Genes mirror geography within Europe. (Look Figure 1)", Distance between Finland to Sweden is about same as distance between Sweden to Germany and quite a much same as distance between Sweden to Denmark. So, Finns are genetically kin to Sweden, Finns are younger stepbrothers to Swedish, which both have lived 700-years in a same house (Swedish Kingdom). So, today in Finland many thinks look like Sweden (history, society, values, in part genetics..), because Finland has pattern all this from Sweden. But, do not forget part of Finns ancient very strange genetics which make Finns of its own kind :)

"Here we characterize genetic variation in a sample of 3,000 European individuals genotyped at over half a million variable DNA sites in the human genome.
The resulting figure bears a notable resemblance to a geographic map of Europe (Fig. 1a)."
