A new genetic preprint study explores the spread of Germanic languages in western Eurasia. The research focuses on Steppe Ancestry and its influence on the migration of various ancient populations, including Anglo-Saxon migrants in Britain and Cenomani Gauls. The study suggests a diverse genetic ancestry associated with trade, religious movements, and the spread of Buddhism and Jainism in ancient Gujarat. Samples from the study show similarities to modern French, Spanish, and Scandinavian populations, with implications for understanding ancient migration patterns.
Non simulated average of Cenomani Gauls. It seems that they resemble other Iron Age Italian populations on average while variation of steppe is from 20% to 37% steppe with G25. https://t.co/PQvnHGz5gs https://t.co/oc3tAIBWGh
This is first aDNA paper on Vadnagar Archaeological site of Gujarat. Our findings suggest a diverse genetic ancestries of ancient Vadnagar associated with trade, religious movement and spread of Buddhism and Jainism in ancient Gujarat. https://t.co/Q1cnisqwjn @NirajRai_Lab
Majority of the samples seem to resemble modern French and Spanish while one sample resembles Scandinavians. https://t.co/L2cOX5IwTg https://t.co/VT6W0zzUDZ
The sources of Anglo-Saxon migrants in Britain according to this paper is that most were from North Germany with a minority from Jutland. https://t.co/FlclJeLRZ3 https://t.co/Zzi28NjRny

the new paper on nordic ancient DNA is pretty weird...lots of moving parts. but it does look like the I1 migration later exploded all over scandinavia...from the east baltic so east baltics are the father of the nordics? 😆 https://t.co/kILqejbanH
yamnaya in southern balkans. illyrians/albanians? https://t.co/ATM4ZYDFlG
"Almost all samples modelled primarily as Corded Ware, Bell Beaker and Yamnaya-related ancestry fall within the regions prescribed to each culture in the archaeological literature (Figure 4)" That's decades of post-war archaeological theory down the toilet. https://t.co/OKqSDX4t33
