Abstract
The article analyzes in detail the problematic issues of the origin of the Ukrainian ethnic group, reveals almost two hundred years of history of their study. Once again, the raised problem testifies to its relevance for today’s Ukraine and its people, when once again in Ukrainian history there was a question of the fragility of state independence, and even the loss of not only sovereignty but also national identity of the ancient Ukrainian people. The author traced (to the extent allowed by the framework of the article) during the evolutionary (historical) path (development of life) of the inhabitants of Ukraine the duration (continuity) of ethnogenetic processes that took place in its modern territorial boundaries. The question of the autochthony of the Ukrainian people in their native land was raised. Such consideration could not bypass the neighboring territories of Ukraine, where we lived, where we came from and where our ancient ancestors migrated. The modern ethnic genome (root) of Ukrainians is derived on the basis of written sources and features (physical anthropological type, dialects, clothing, etc.) of peoples (tribes, ethnic groups, nationalities) who lived more or less long within the territorial boundaries of modern Ukraine. However, the author takes the historical memory of the people about their original territories and their inhabitants (ancestors) as the defining ethnic feature that distinguishes one ethnic group from another (for the Ukrainian people, in particular), this idealistic Spirit of the earth, which provides (should provide) it the population’s vitality and will to fight for their Ukrainian State. In order to solve the problematic issues raised in the article, the author once again calls for (offers) a cross-cutting (evolutionary) approach, connecting the potential heuristic capabilities of a whole cohort of related sciences (humanities and beyond), fanatically in love with scientists, young and venerable scientists.
