This prehistoric period was not the time, however, when the Uralic linguistic family was formed, but was a time when the more or less uniform (basic) language broke up. It is unclear, what areas had been previously inhabited by population groups from this linguistic family. It is quite likely, however, that they moved to this part of the Ural region from the south sometime during the Mesolithic period. (Fig. 2.) Fig. 3. 114
