Recent advancements in genetic analysis have shed new light on the movement of ancient populations across Europe during the first millennium. Research from the Francis Crick Institute, published in Nature, explores how Viking and Germanic ancestry spread throughout the continent during the Iron Age, using an innovative data analysis method called Twigstats. This breakthrough offers fresh insights into the genetic impact of migration in this transformative period of history. By analyzing over 1,500 genomes from individuals who lived between 1-1000 AD, researchers uncovered details about the migration of Germanic peoples. Originating in Northern Germany, Denmark, and Southern Sweden, these groups migrated southward into Central and Southern Europe. Historical records, such as Roman historian Tacitus's Germania written in 98 AD, documented Germanic tribes' resistance against Roman expansion. Genetic evidence now corroborates these accounts, showing that Germanic ancestry spread across regions like southern Germany, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and southern Britain. In some cases, individuals in southern Europe exhibited entirely Scandinavian-like genetic profiles, highlighting the extensive reach of these migrations. As these groups moved, they intermingled with local populations, laying groundwork for the major branches of Germanic languages: • West Germanic: English, German and Dutch. • North Germanic: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese. • East Germanic: An extinct language family. Surprisingly, researchers identified Scandinavian ancestry in Britain as early as 100-300 AD; centuries before Anglo-Saxon (400–1000 AD) and Viking periods (800–1000 AD). One individual, potentially a Roman soldier or gladiator, had 25% Scandinavian ancestry. This finding challenges traditional timelines of Scandinavian influence in Britain. Toward the end of the Iron Age (around 800 AD), the migration trend reversed, with Central Europeans moving northward into Scandinavia. Analysis of teeth from individuals buried on the Swedish island of Öland revealed Central European ancestry, though these people were raised locally. The reasons behind this northward movement remain uncertain, but researchers speculate that conflict and social unrest likely spurred these migrations. Vikings, renowned for their seafaring raids across Europe, left a profound genetic legacy in the regions they reached. Evidence of Scandinavian ancestry was found in Viking Age individuals across Europe: • In Eastern Europe, Viking DNA—particularly from Sweden—was identified in populations from modern-day Ukraine and Russia. • In Britain, remains in Viking Age mass graves showed a mix of local and Scandinavian ancestry, reflecting the genetic influence of these Norse settlers. Twigstats method enabled researchers to discern subtle genetic differences among ancient populations with unprecedented precision. While this study has significantly advanced our understanding of Iron Age migrations, scientists emphasize that further research is needed to analyze more ancient genomes and fully unravel the complexities of Europe’s early genetic history. This groundbreaking research illuminates the dynamic migrations of Germanic peoples and Vikings, providing a clearer picture of their genetic impact across Europe. It highlights how advancements in genetic analysis are reshaping historical narratives and paving the way for future discoveries about human ancestry. © The Archaeologist #archaeohistories

@GeoffreyofAnjou @m_izanami_ But Anatolian and Greek admixture HAD some Levantine and Mesopotamian admixture

@GeoffreyofAnjou @m_izanami_ Because it wasn’t one source. There was a generally massive shift in southern Europe towards the direction of Cypriots and Near Easterners during the Roman Period. Mostly from Greece and Anatolia as they were genetically very similar at the time. Levant to a lesser extent

@Mossadsbestgoy @Zaraxbtt @Maddu_550 @trisaleon If women wanted a “strong” man they go after Eddie Hall, or one of those guys, but they don’t. They go after face and fit but but not over lot fit to the point of looking roided out

@Mossadsbestgoy @Zaraxbtt @Maddu_550 @trisaleon A steroid low fat percentage body is recent. It has not existed through out humanities history. Strong humans through our history looked more like B. Also evolutionary pyshcology is based much more on face than strength, and differs depending on culture and ethnicity

Ladies what’s your favourite male body type ???

@Mossadsbestgoy @Zaraxbtt @Maddu_550 @trisaleon Roided out fake muscles with tiny body fat that isn’t natural straight is equivalent to skinny woman with fake massive boobs and a BBl. It looks unnatural and has nothing to do with evolutionary biology.

@Mossadsbestgoy @Zaraxbtt @Maddu_550 @trisaleon If women wanted “strong” men they’d all go after Eddie hall looking mfers yet they don’t. Definitely not some roided out gym bro.

Give these guys an Oscar.

@Lassegaf_1 This is AI you dumbass moron

BREAKING NEWS:🚨🇮🇷 Iran used a weapon worth one hundred and fifty dollars to shoot down a billion-dollar American military aircraft. For the first time, America had met its true adversary.🚀🔥🇺🇸

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Says the dude with clear autism over a shroud. I answered you multiple times despite you claiming I haven’t. Then you ignore all the other fallacies in the Bible and regarding Christianity. It’s literally been recreated

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen anyways, you obviously are incapable of rational thought. I've asked you like 7 times to provide a single explanation for how it was made that has not been debunked. Last chance, then i have to block you

Even the Vatican has repeatedly stated the concept of alien life poses no threat to Christianity. I've never heard a Christian argue otherwise. Who are these "Christians" that would have their faith shaken by aliens?

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Bud. It’s been radiocarboned. It’s debunked. A Italian scientists recreated it showing it’s possible. You’re in denial that your world view may be wrong

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen talk to me about the lack of brushstrokes on the image. Inform me about how the forget was able to make an image that was only a couple hundred nanometers deep. Tell me how he was able to prevent the image from being formed underneath bloodstains

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Yes. It’s incredible because it’s an interesting medieval hoax. That’s pretty interesting

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen have you actually done any research on the shroud? Can you name a single incredible thing about the shroud? Tell me one interesting detail about the blood found on it. I suspect you cannot.

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen You’re disregarding this because you have no explanation for why it’s absent in other gospels and historical sources lol. The shroud is not a photo negative. Negative have been made for millennia before the shrouds

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen ok i don't really care. Tell me about the shroud. Tell me about the medieval forger who made the world's first photo negative centuries before anyone knew about that concept and then....never made another one

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen The odds are not 1 in 100 billion because some random Italian and French guy claimed so. Sorry bud

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen holy fuck you're retarded. If the odds of it being fake are 1 in 100 billion, it's a pretty safe bet that it's real. It's called "proving beyond a reasonable doubt" and that's been the standard of our legal system for about 1000 years

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Those are not sources and that’s not how. Scientists make outrageous claims like that all the time. And then others make different contrasting ones. If it’s a medieval hoax by the church then it completely disregards those subjective“statistics”

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen oh but there is. i didn't say magnitudes, i said magnitudes of magnitudes g.co/gemini/share/e…

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Lmao. Some of you Christian’s are such morons. Anyone that disagrees with you is “demonically possessed”. Maybe you’re demonically possessed and Islam is correct (it’s not)

@GreatestBot @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen i have no idea why you keep deflecting to things i am not arguing. It's almost like you're demonically possessed and you can't bear to focus on the shroud

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Claiming it’s more likely to be real is straight up conjecture. There is nothing to prove that it’s more likely to be real by “magnitudes”. Just because you claim something doesn’t make it true

@ToupeeCostanza @BreeSolstad @TheLaurenChen Well if you have no proof it’s real then why claim it? I said Christianity is no different than any other religion. You have millions of people in other religions who are just as sure of themselves as you are. You brought up the shroud of Turin and refuse to prove it’s real
