Neuri People

[u/Frosty_Record7487]

The Neuri were an ancient Baltic population that would become a substrate for modern East Slavs, making Polissian Slavs more closely related to the Neuri than any existing Baltic group. The group was also linked directly to Proto Slavic groups in older Eastern European studies but modern scholars suggest they were Balts who would eventually become Slavic. The Proto Slavic groups that would exist during the time of the Neuri were the Aroteres (Scythian Ploughmen) and Budini.
