A better punctuation could help clarify my muddled thoughts.

"Even until recently, the original native population of Scandinavia was considered like the native Americans. It is hard to understand when the Scando-Germanic tribes have been in that area since the Bronze Age"

I meant "That is hard to understand if you think that the S-G have been there since the Bronze Age and earlier", meaning that the proto-vikings have always been the ancients, the natives and have always been there, when in fact 4,000 years ago they were newcomers from the east like the rest of the IE migrations (which by the way is the only big migration I believe in with the Mesolithic ones from south to norht after the retreat of the glaciers)
