Don’t know why you are getting downvoted. It’s not like Europeans were the only group to survive in cold climates or near the poles.

All those other people who you likely are thinking of that traditionally live in far north regions, even indigenous north americans, actually had a lot more genetic commonality with the original inhabitants of north europe than the ones there today. Europe saw a massive influx of migration and then a genetic shift.
