Hi, thanks for this. I am living in New Zealand. My father was from Bridgenorth, Shropshire, and my mother is from Klienschmalkalden, Thuringia. My mother was fair skinned, but my mothers sister was olive skinned. My surname is old irish. Mum told me we maybe have Croatian, and Bohemian, going back a few generations. The Swedish came through the village at one time. On my fathers side, we have some Welsh ancestry, and Irish, i think. What a mix. My daughter would be interesting too, as she is half Han Chinese. Her mother was from Hong Kong.
Have you checked out the Assyrian vein? There are sources that claim that an Assyrian Prince, Tabeta, came with his entourage from Assyria/northern Iraq via Anatolia and founded the city of Terier.
Had my DNA tested, and as an American, having approximately 73% German markers is exceedingly rare according to online studies and such. My paternal haplogroup is I1, so my clan probably originated in Scandinavia then moved south. Such interesting and fascinating stuff.
In reality, Haplogroup I1 originated in Germany and moved to Scandinavia, these Europeans were different from the current Europeans, since they were Western Hunter Gatherers, these WHG were absorbed by the European Farmers from the South, and the Pastoralists from the Western Steppes (Indo-Europeans), from Ukraine and Southern Russia.
Haplogroup I1 (WHG) survived the population replacement of the R1b (IndoEuropeans) and mixed with them, currently the Germans have 10% Autosomal WHG DNA.
I'm German. In my family there are blonde hair with blue eyes, blonde hair with brown eyes and dark brown hair with brown eyes. A cousin is red-haired with green-blue eyes. My eldest brother tans very quickly in the sun and he is very different from the others. We Germans are a mix.
Im Bavarian and took a DNA test some years ago. It turned out that most of my DNA stems from France and the South of Italy which makes sense cause the Romans and Napoleon´s troups were in Bavaria for quite some time. Thank you for this interesting documentary 🤗
@@BETOETEWho cares about fucking "German Reinheit" of the lower living forms north of the Bavarian-Austrian hegemonic line. We are "Baiern" and we speak "Bairisch", not German. Well we have to lower ourselves to do so, because those work migrates from the north can't understand or speak high level languages. We are forced to use it to give them instructions.
Your ancient grandfather was an EEF european early farmers who migrated from Anatolia , anatolian neolitik farmers. Mostly releated with caucasian hunter gatherer. J2, G2 Haplogrup
When making references to Anatolia, one should not forget to mention, that modern Turkish people settled in what is now Anatolia only from the 11th Century A.D.. They came from a region spanning Central Asia to Mongolia to Southern Siberia.
Greeks lived in Anayolia since the hellenistic period along Armenians, Kurds and other ethnic caucasian and middle eastern.ethnic groups. Of course Anatolia has a longer history as attested by the existence of Troia. Hittites also lived there. It eas a ctossroad betweenEuirope and tr Middle East. 10:16
probably why the English royal family are of German bloodlines and much the same with all the Royal families of Europe. The Aryan peoples were all over the known world a very long long time ago
Some years ago, I was thumbing through a book in a Barnes & Noble in Emeryville, CA. The author mentioned that during their spread south, the ancient Germanic tribes absorbed an Indo-European-speaking population that lived along the Rhine. The Germans are conscious of a phenotypical difference in their population. I remember a date and I once talking to a young German lady from the Rhineland who noted how stereotypically Germanic we were with our blond hair and green and blue eyes, and that she was a "swarthy" Rhinelander. The waviness of my date's blonde hair was no doubt a legacy of her ancestor Robert E. Lee.
that woman probably applied stereotypes about germanic peoples, yellow hair of course existed among them but it was not as widespread as later statements made it out to be.
The reason why many people from the Rhineland can appear different or darker in complexion compared to the rest of Germany is because the people in the Rhineland are genetically well mixed. Jews, French , Gypsies / Traveler , Romans and People from Benelux brougt many different DNA to the Rhineland area. Some words from the cologne area are related to the jiddish language. lg
I’m 62% Scandinavian, 28% Irish, and 10% German, although my last name is German. I guess that’s normal for an American. Few of us are pure breeds; we’re all mutts.
Seeing as we are all one race, to my understanding there’s no such thing as “pure breed” or “mutt” among humans. I understood what you meant of course, but this type of language is incredibly dangerous because some idiots take it seriously🙈
@lizzy3332 there are 5 races: caucasoid, mongoloid, neg. roid (or congoid), australoid, capoid. We are one species of humanoids but not all of us have the same genetic ancestry nor obviously the same physical and genetic characteristics. It doesn't have to be "dangerous", many people know this, but some people find that to be sensitive information that makes them uncomfortable.
@@Yk9o scientifically speaking we are all 1 race. We used to have other races that lived alongside Homo sapiens sapiens, but our ancestors were very successful at k*lling off all competition the moment they reached a new habitat. What you are referring to are region specific adaptive traits that developed. But biologically speaking there are not enough genetic differences for us to be categorised into separate races. Sociologically we separate humans into different races based on their adaptive traits. However that brings forward the question why we define race differently for humans than we do with all other known species. The only obvious answer that springs to mind would be the facilitation of “othering” entire groups, nations, continents of people. That’s why the race rhetoric in regards to humans is dangerous.
@@lizzy3332 People are instinctively tribal and are "othering" others every chance they get. When people look different to one another on a visible obvious way (face features, skin) it's even easier for that instinct to manifest. In fact in a scientific experiment that was done, people who were shown pictures of stranger that were different races than them had the parts of their brain for fight or flight light up whereas when shown pictures of strangers of the same race as them that part of their brain didn't light up. Tribe or village attacks other tribe or village, plus as you rightly pointed out the very different races way back when that went ext. inct. Let's not act surprised that we are wired this way to at least some degree (large or small).
It's quite funny and a bit strange that only we Germans are considered Germanic, although almost all of Europe consists of Indo-European tribes, with corresponding influences on (from) their edges.
Germany wasn't unified in 1871. There lived about eight native populations inside the Kaiserreich's borders; Frisians, French, Danish, Sorbians, Poles, Kashubians, Lithuanians and Mazovians. At the same time about 40% of German speakers lived in other politically independent countries, like Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, the Russian Tsardom, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Austria-Hungary, among others even outside Europe. In what stretch of the word can that be called the unification of a nation state? It was a Union of the petty, but still independent German states with Prussia, whose population was less than 50% ethnic German. Austria is one of the OG German states with unbroken Germanic settlement since Rome fell, while Prussia arose as a Baltic state, which linguistically Germanized. Without any of the electoral provinces, it cannot be a unified Germany. Unified with what, Frisians, Danes, Poles and Lithuanians?!
@@To.Si.Ma. I referred to Prussia in 1789. Indeed in 1871, the ratio had shifted a bit towards a higher percentage of German speakers in Prussia than before the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars.
Prussia was annexed by Brandenburg after the 30 years war and was an elector for a 100s of years, Brandenburg was only renamed into Prussia as the Brandenburgers wanted to be a Kingdom, but couldn't as HRE member, so called themself King in (not of) Prussia. Austria on the other hand was never an elector of the HRE and the Habsburg only became emperors by faking birth certificates😅😅😅
Such an interesting video! Combines culture, anthropology & migration. Well researched!! My haplogroup is H10e. I’ve had DNA testing to identify relatives. What a wonderful way to look at the rest of humanity. Have met many “DNA cousins”. I knew a lot of my ancestry before DNA testing. My dad’s background (R1 b) was Irish, Scots-Irish. My mom was German-Dutch. (My parents & their parents were born in US.) Also, some Scandi & SW Asian (first farmers) One company was able to assign my DNA as 46% first agriculturalists, 44% Hunter-gatherers & 10% iron -age people. Each one of us is such a blend of all those who came before!
I have a German last name from a German ancestor who came to New Zealand on a whaling ship in 1809 and took a wife from one of the native people who was a niece of a well known young Chief who kept cutting down the pole the British Flag was hanging off. He did it 3 times. Maori peoples were the only minority of a colonized place that the British made a treaty with, the only ones out of all their colonies.
Another fascinating study is that of the Maori. Olmecs, Maori, Samoans, "Easter Island" inhabitants, "Polynesians" - all appear to have a shared DNA heritage. You can see that just from images. Some have postulated that this entire people group came from the sunken continent of Mu.
@@random2829 The deluge came from a planet that was bigger than Earth and covered in water. Destroyed in a war that is still blazing in our DNA. Earth used to be covered in forests and great planes. The only sea's were small ones and lakes the great deluge was waters from the destroyed planet. They keep our true history from us and tell us constant lies to makes us feel very much less than what we are all capable of so that we remain ignorant and helpless without their "help" which is always "safe and effective". There is so much more to who and what you are so very very much more...
as a person of high percentage of Persian ancestry and like majority of Iranians we are genuinely Germanophil ❤ and respect to German people from heart of Persia, central genuine Pars province. The place ancient kings called themselves the king of Arians
I have half German ancestry. Generally from within the main current republic. Maybe some Swiss. I never took a DNA test but some of these comments about people's heritage is very interesting. Great video! I must say, you're going pretty fast here. I know it's your style. I have a background in this stuff and you're going fast even for me. If someone is watching this video with little background in these subjects it would be wise of them to pause the video a few times to absorb and ponder
In terms of DNA it does not make sense to distinguis between German and Swiss DNA. If your German ancestors were from the Southwest then they were as Allemanic as your Swiss ancestors...
It was very surprising when I found out that the linear pottery culture people or closely related groups also left a genetic legacy in Africa due to the mostly prehistoric migrations back to Africa: the Eurasian backflow. The Toubou people of Chad, for example, have at least some of their ancestry from this people or a related group.
don't forget the Vandals... Gothic people migrated from [now] Germany, all the way through Gibraltar and ended up in [then] Carthage... tall, blond, bleu-eyed ppl in N.Africa...
I have one Germanic ancestor (from Baden, born in 1840), a 3rd great grandfather. I grew up with a German maiden name. I even took German in College! Then my tests came back and I traced my paper trail… No German 😂 Thanks for this video. My dad, a direct ancestor, had his haplo come back as R-Z253, which is downstream of R-M269 (Irish type 3) and it’s always thrown me off. His results do not say German; he comes back as 1.3 Scandinavian and 1.4 Eastern European (specifically from his paternal side) I guess the haplo could indeed fit? Help me make sense of this 😅
R1B U106 is a subset of R-M269. I’m a subset of, within R-BY93784. While U106 often referred to as the ‘Germanic’, my understanding os R-BY93784 originated just before the changeover from BC to AD, and all known members are from the British Isles (within England, Scotland, or the surrounding islands); Hatherdene 9 lived in Cambridgeshire circa 500 AD, and is estimated to have branched off circa 500 BC. It seems as though my paternal line was in Britain prior to the Roman arrival.
There is no common genetic German ancestry. As pointed out, Germany, or better to say central Europe, has been a melting pot for millennia. There are significant genetic borders within Germany - for one, the Roman limes with Celtic and Roman ancestry to the south and west, as in Württemberg, Baden, Bavaria, on the Rhine and the Saar/Mosel. You mention Asian influx in Bavaria, which is due to the Hungarian invasions. Then there is east Germany with mostly Slavic ancestry, but also some proto-Germanic roots. And finally the north of Germany with Germans from Scandinavia. The genetic differences are pronounced and can still be seen in the population today: some people in the south-west look like Italians, while their neighbors in the next village are tall and blond. You can find families with Celtic ancestry, with brown hair and green eyes, and others, who's forefathers were Hugenots from France. Others again are children of 19th century Polish migrants.
One common trait in all and that is they are all Caucasian which our controllers seem to have started a war against in some places. There were many Aryan peoples around the world long ago like the Scythian's who had symbols of Swastikas which brought good fortune and well being and People of Persia and many others even in China.
No, "Caucasian" has been a misapplied term since its origin point. Only the ethnicities in and immediately adjacent to the Caucasus Mountain range are actually and properly designated as Caucasians. No one else. And notably, they are considered western Asian. The varying ethnicities in Europe, with the exception of the "Roma," are truly Europeans. Be very careful using the term "caucasians" because it was never factually accurate for the balance of people to whom it has been habitually misapplied. And failure to properly term the ethnic Germans or French or Estonians and everyone else as properly _European_ plays into the hands of those insisting those distinct peoples are simultaneously monolithic while also not a race, are not indigenous (ancestral landclaim), and have no "culture." We all understand why this group, alone, is being thusly targeted, too.
Mine is E-V13. They were from northern Germany along the Rhine in area around and near towns such as Cologne. Even today, E-V13 has only small population pockets outside of the Balkans. This seems to indicate a Roman origin, or more specifically, Roman Auxiliary, likely from the Balkans (especially modern Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, and modern Kosovo.) where E-V13 is most common. The Romans heavily drew on the Balkans to fill their ranks of their Auxiliary, especially Macedonians, Thracians, Dacians, and Illyrians, all of which have large populations of E-V13.
"The Germans are men of the soil, for who would leave Africa or Asia or Italy to go to Germany, with its dreadful climate, unlovely scenery and general dreariness unless you were born there." - Tacitus on the origins of the Germans 98CE.
@@wallerwolf6930 Most likely not, because compared to the dry climate of Africa, Asia and Italy and the mild winters in Germany, Germany currently has the perfect climate.
I had just thought that Germans, just like Frenchmen, were a mixture of a Germanic-speaking people with a Celtic-speaking people, but I see now it's more complicated than that.
@@happychappy492 In the south more Celtic and in the north more Germanic. Later a mixture with Romans (the soldiers were not only from Italy), Slavs (who are the slaves? Are they from east Germanic tribes?).
@@happychappy492 the so called aryans were basically today slavs, all of europe is a mixture of anatolians, cromagnon and steppe people (indo europeans)
Scandinavia was covered by ice up to 13 000 years ago. I think it is fair to assume that proto-indo-European people will have moved into Scandinavia only after the Ice Age was coming to an end. Later some Germanic tribes will have moved on again . From the 3rd century AD Germanic tribes moved into Noricum , the Roman colony south of the Limes (Danube). Up to then he predominant people have been Celtic.
It’s interesting, I’ve seen a chart that showed that a majority of Germans have brown eyes, which is not something many of us would expect. I myself have heritage from Germany and Austria-Hungary and I have dark brown eyes and dark brown hair.
@@ianblake815 That chart is wrong. Brown eyes are quite seldom among Germans. Blue and green is the most common color. From 24 children in my school class 2 had brown eyes.
I'm first generation American. Three of my grandparents were Italian, from Lombardia and Friuli Venezia-Giulia, while my maternal grandmother was Walloon (Francophonic Belgium). My 23 & Me results came back 63.9% French and German and only 33.0% Italian, with dashes of Balkan, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese tossed in. Northern Italy was invaded by Teutonic hordes after the collapse of the Roman Empire. That probably accounts for my pronounced Germanic genetic background.
I am north italian. in Italy we derive from a mix of different peoples, and in Italy's DNA there is also a lot of Germanic element due to many invasions of peoples from the north during the Middle Ages. Before the conquest of Rome in northern Italy there were also the Celts. But the cultures of these peoples were absorbed by Latin culture.
@@AndreKamera My mom was Lombarda (and half Belgian), from the Lago d'Iseo region, and my dad Friulano, from a small village near Pordenone. For obvious reasons, I've always been interested in the gene pools representing those regions of Italy. In addition to Celtic, Latin, and Teutonic, I suspect a good part of the Friuli branch of the family is also Slavic.
My mothers mother was of German heritage from what I studied her family came from the palinten and baden basically the black forest, I think she might of had a few other cultures in her but her maiden name was Hendricks and her mothers maiden name was ashebagh.
@@tiffanygrever8092 It's the "sh" and "gh", these combinations really don't exist in written German, but if you spell Ashenbagh as a native English speaking person it's the German Aschenbach. It's a surname/family name and the name of several cities. So you can get deeper in your own history. Asche means ash and Bach means a brook or creek.
@@pck1166 I'm just starting to learn lol, I really didn't get into genealogy till the pandemic four years ago and went through some old info my aunt sent,
It might have been possible during the Roman period, but being in the center of Europe it is hard today to point to an individual and suggest he/she “looks” German, or that they are purely German genetically.
My family roots are from Slovakia, Ukraine, and Austria. My mom, from Vienna, Austria may have some Celtic ancestry. She had auburn hair and eyes and some freckles. I have AB- negative blood. Type B blood is common in Asia.
I’m a New Zealander, and my mother always said she was of English and Scottish decent and my father is Samoan with a tiny percent of German. However when I bought a DNA test for my sister, the results stated, that most of her genetics were Scandinavian and east Baltic to my surprise. Then one day I stumbled upon a news article about how today‘s inhabitants on the Isle of Skye (where my mothers ancestors are primarily from) are nearly all of Nordic blood according to recent studies. The east Baltic genes potentially comes from my father’s side, as it was Prussia during the time when Germany colonised Samoa.
My grandmother was a T2b4 and she had dark hair and brown eyes. The darkest of all my grandparents and we're all from Montenegro of Albanian origin I might add.
On my Mother’s side, I have mt-Haplogroup K. I found it a tad surprising that K is not common in Germany today. Of course, on my Mother’s side , I have predominantly Welsh, Scottish, and English ancestry. So, this could explain the difference. Your opinion?
Hi, I'm from Germany and have K1a. My mother's family originated from Thüringen. But I have the same question. Perhaps the K-haplogroup originated from the alps (Italy/Austria) because Ötzi, the ice-mummy, had K too.
When I was in Germany, many from central to southern areas looked more Latin in appearance, while the population in the north resembled those I saw in the Netherlands, except the Dutch mostly seemed taller. Quite a diverse genetic mixture!
30% of Germany's current residents have a migration background. Most of them come from southern or eastern countries. Not everyone who speaks German has German roots :)
My father grew up in Cologne and his best friend from an old local family could as well have been from Rome or Naples and I know a few more examples of people living in the Rhineland.

Not Slavs but CWC people. 30% of German population are R1a. Are they Slavs? R1b are Celtic people who migrated from Spain, France and Irland to western Germany

@@valamerkozlowski7915 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polabian_Slavs I believe Ossies vs Wessies difference is much older than from second half of 20th c. Similarly, Russians nowadays speak Slavic but few of them had Slavic ancestors.

The point is that Germany like the rest of Europe has diverse genes which is a separate issue to belong to one nation with the same language, culture and history. At least 30% of Poles have R1b genes. Does that make them Germanic or Celtic? No way. They are Poles who speak a Western Slavic language which makes them Slavs.
@@defendfreedom1390 You are relating language to ethnicity. That's very wrong assumption. If somebody is speaking German doesn't mean he is an ethnic german. Most of people in Germany who speaks the language are not real germans, they are of celtic origin. Only the north east germans are the real ethically germans. The rest are celtics from spain and portugal as well as france and ireland
There were 2 Prussia's BTW. You describe the 1 st one. the 2nd was when Prussia broke off and became protestant , And was a Independent Nation state for a while. Today its Broken up Between Poland and Germany . Why the Germans and Pols fight for it for century's
The Complexity of German Identity The historical migrations and interactions in Germany resulted in a diverse population with mixed ancestries. While a substantial portion can trace their roots to Germanic tribes, others have significant Celtic, Slavic, or other ancestries due to centuries of intermingling and later migrations. The substantial part of Germans consisted of various Germanic tribes speaking a tongue similar to their own. Impact on Modern Populations The widespread movement and intermingling of these Germanic tribes with other groups across Europe significantly shaped the genetic and cultural landscape of numerous nations. England: The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated to Britain, laying the foundation for the English language and culture. Scandinavia: The North Germanic tribes settled in present-day Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. Netherlands: The Franks and Frisians played a crucial role in forming the Dutch people. Germany: While the Franks were also instrumental in the formation of Germany, the region also saw influxes of other tribes, such as the Saxons, Alemanni, and Bavarians.
During the 30-years war and due to pestilence, a large part of former Geman inhabitants went extinct.. Who remained, mixed with all the remaining parts of all the troops, who were rioting during 30 years war , who came from all parts of Europe, from Sweden to Portugal. So we are quite a mixture...
where mostly germanic does in the north and west are 80-90% germanic does in the east can have 20-70% slavic admixtur and the south has celtic roman and slavic dna
Those slavic ancestry in eastern Germans is most likely also connected to the end of the second world war and Russian cultural tendencies which can be seen again in the current war.

The difference between Germanics and Germans. This problems is of linguistic nature and often occures to English speakers as in Dutch, German, Swedish etc. there is a clear distinction between German and Germanic (all of these people are Germanic but not German). English Germanic German Dutch Germaans Duits German Germanisch Deutsch Swedish Germansk Tysk Danish Germansk Tysk Norwegian (Bokmål) Germansk Tysk Norwegian (Nynorsk) Germansk Tysk Icelandic Þýskur Þjóðverji Tysk is related to Thutisk, Tuitisk, Tuits, Duits and Deutsch all derived from the old Germanic word for people (speaking the same language). "Germanic" cognates: The word for "Germanic" is remarkably consistent across these languages, all stemming from the Proto-Germanic root "þeudiskaz", meaning "of the people." "German" cognates: The words for "German" exhibit more variation. The North Germanic languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian) use "Tysk," derived from "þeudisk", also meaning "of the people." This highlights the close historical and linguistic ties between these groups. Icelandic uses "Þjóðverji," which translates to "people-defender" or "people-warden." This likely reflects historical interactions and perceptions. English and Dutch use terms derived from the Latin word "Germania" and the name of a specific Germanic tribe, the Alamanni, respectively. Germans are Germanic but not only Germanic. Baltic tribes, Celtic and Roman migration has significantly added to Germany's population. The DNA admixture may vary depending on regions..
T2 and mostly ceu and fin groups but with punjabi, iberian and peruvian. If i didn't get the test i would have no idea. Also a little taller than average with dark blonde and blue with amber center eyes.
My parents were born in the azores so I grew up in a Portuguese household. I did a DNA test a few years back for shits and giggles. And it turns out I am mostly Portuguese but also almost a quarter Irish, and the rest German like almost 20%
I think so lol. My dad jas a niece over there that could pass as Norwegian, fair, with hlue eyes and blond hair and his nephews ate pretty pale and blue eyes.
I get a pretty good tan in the summer months but but lighten up during the winter lol. But i dont think tan does mean not “white” arnold Schwarzenegger is pretty tan for an austrian
The people in this region are a diverse mixture of many groups, mainly due to war and the arrival of people from outside the area. The tribes from this period are far removed from ancient Africa, which includes today's Egypt(Kemet). The African melanin Noble Class were the original occupants of what is called, Germany and Europe today. My question is, when and why do BC dates come before AC dates? Why was there a need to include either BC or AD? Was AC dates co-relating to the beginning of a new people's DNA. Although, during that period accurate calendars were in circulation.
May I suggest that you speak more slowly during your very fine expositions. Your Scottish accent, along with the rush you seem to have to get out your message in just a few minutes, makes it difficult for me to understand your message. At the end of each of your videos I feel the need to replay the video but don’t always have the time. I love your content and am sorry to criticize but honestly think you could improve a bit by slowing down. I would enjoy a 15 minute video even more than the 10 minutes you gave us. And thank you for giving us this information.
I had a large underbite/hapsberg jaw and look very much like Philip iv of Spain (had my jaw operated on while in high school to correct it), so would not be surprised if i had a bastsrd ancestor from that line. My DNA is actually 40% Scandinavian, 30% Scottish, with the remainder mainly English and German.
Elongated skulls have been found in South America as well. I guess the elongated female skulls mentioned was really of mainly East Asian origin. Hun/Chinese princesses? There is too long time between Nativ Americans split to Hun Europe (ca 20 000 Years) but if culture is partially a product of genes it makes sense.
My advice would be to find something to drink with less caffeine in it; otherwise, you'll burn out your jaw muscles before you hit puberty. JMO Kudos on being very thorough!
Germany had always been a melting pot for all kinds of people moving around in Europe with one exception, the people of northern Hessia. Their ancestors lived already there during roman times and possible before. Mayby because this region was never an important part of the transcontinental trading. This trading took place along the mighty rivers such as Rhine, Danube or Elbe.
@@celtichistorydecoded thank you. I find it fascinating, your accent has a characteristic that reminds me of bavarian with some sounds that i know from swissgerman. I hope you don' mind.
8:58 You mean, I presume, that the frequency of the Habsburg chin is due to inbreeding after an ancestor or rather ancestress who had this feature? Inbreeding doesn't produce defective genes, just makes them show.
The elongated skulls were 1/3 larger brain capacity and 50-60 % stronger denser also towards the back top of the skull has two smaller holes one left and one right groves down the back of the skull there are no suture lines on the skulls. They tested human.

My mother was fair skinned, but my mothers sister was olive skinned. My surname is old irish. Mum told me we maybe have Croatian, and Bohemian, going back a few generations. The Swedish came through the village at one time. On my fathers side, we have some Welsh ancestry, and Irish, i think. What a mix. My daughter would be interesting too, as she is half Han Chinese. Her mother was from Hong Kong.
I am 22% German
My father family came from the "Sudenland." No further ancestry besides that. FYI. An uncommon surname.
Have you checked out the Assyrian vein? There are sources that claim that an Assyrian Prince, Tabeta, came with his entourage from Assyria/northern Iraq via Anatolia and founded the city of Terier.
@@gordonloessl2822 I think you meant the Sudetenland
Had my DNA tested, and as an American, having approximately 73% German markers is exceedingly rare according to online studies and such. My paternal haplogroup is I1, so my clan probably originated in Scandinavia then moved south. Such interesting and fascinating stuff.
In reality, Haplogroup I1 originated in Germany and moved to Scandinavia, these Europeans were different from the current Europeans, since they were Western Hunter Gatherers, these WHG were absorbed by the European Farmers from the South, and the Pastoralists from the Western Steppes (Indo-Europeans), from Ukraine and Southern Russia.
Haplogroup I1 (WHG) survived the population replacement of the R1b (IndoEuropeans) and mixed with them, currently the Germans have 10% Autosomal WHG DNA.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d Ahh, ok. Thanks for the information!
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing
@@user-yt3xd2jl6dThat's right and yes we survived. Dutch I1 over here. 👌
I'm German. In my family there are blonde hair with blue eyes, blonde hair with brown eyes and dark brown hair with brown eyes. A cousin is red-haired with green-blue eyes. My eldest brother tans very quickly in the sun and he is very different from the others. We Germans are a mix.
Im Bavarian and took a DNA test some years ago. It turned out that most of my DNA stems from France and the South of Italy which makes sense cause the Romans and Napoleon´s troups were in Bavaria for quite some time. Thank you for this interesting documentary 🤗

@@BETOETEWho cares about fucking "German Reinheit" of the lower living forms north of the Bavarian-Austrian hegemonic line. We are "Baiern" and we speak "Bairisch", not German.
Well we have to lower ourselves to do so, because those work migrates from the north can't understand or speak high level languages. We are forced to use it to give them instructions.

When making references to Anatolia, one should not forget to mention, that modern Turkish people settled in what is now Anatolia only from the 11th Century A.D.. They came from a region spanning Central Asia to Mongolia to Southern Siberia.

Some years ago, I was thumbing through a book in a Barnes & Noble in Emeryville, CA. The author mentioned that during their spread south, the ancient Germanic tribes absorbed an Indo-European-speaking population that lived along the Rhine. The Germans are conscious of a phenotypical difference in their population. I remember a date and I once talking to a young German lady from the Rhineland who noted how stereotypically Germanic we were with our blond hair and green and blue eyes, and that she was a "swarthy" Rhinelander. The waviness of my date's blonde hair was no doubt a legacy of her ancestor Robert E. Lee.
that woman probably applied stereotypes about germanic peoples, yellow hair of course existed among them but it was not as widespread as later statements made it out to be.
I also noted how dark some Germans are
@@janvanaardt3773Since 1000 yrs we have large groups coming from southern France / northern Italy, mostly bc of religous problems in their countries.
@@janvanaardt3773 name one
The reason why many people from the Rhineland can appear different or darker in complexion compared to the rest of Germany is because the people in the Rhineland are genetically well mixed.
Jews, French , Gypsies / Traveler , Romans and People from Benelux brougt many different DNA to the Rhineland area.
Some words from the cologne area are related to the jiddish language.

Slow down 😮
I’m 62% Scandinavian, 28% Irish, and 10% German, although my last name is German. I guess that’s normal for an American. Few of us are pure breeds; we’re all mutts.
Scandinavians are Germanic.
Seeing as we are all one race, to my understanding there’s no such thing as “pure breed” or “mutt” among humans. I understood what you meant of course, but this type of language is incredibly dangerous because some idiots take it seriously🙈
@lizzy3332 there are 5 races: caucasoid, mongoloid, neg. roid (or congoid), australoid, capoid. We are one species of humanoids but not all of us have the same genetic ancestry nor obviously the same physical and genetic characteristics. It doesn't have to be "dangerous", many people know this, but some people find that to be sensitive information that makes them uncomfortable.
@@Yk9o scientifically speaking we are all 1 race. We used to have other races that lived alongside Homo sapiens sapiens, but our ancestors were very successful at k*lling off all competition the moment they reached a new habitat. What you are referring to are region specific adaptive traits that developed. But biologically speaking there are not enough genetic differences for us to be categorised into separate races.
Sociologically we separate humans into different races based on their adaptive traits. However that brings forward the question why we define race differently for humans than we do with all other known species. The only obvious answer that springs to mind would be the facilitation of “othering” entire groups, nations, continents of people. That’s why the race rhetoric in regards to humans is dangerous.
@@lizzy3332 People are instinctively tribal and are "othering" others every chance they get. When people look different to one another on a visible obvious way (face features, skin) it's even easier for that instinct to manifest. In fact in a scientific experiment that was done, people who were shown pictures of stranger that were different races than them had the parts of their brain for fight or flight light up whereas when shown pictures of strangers of the same race as them that part of their brain didn't light up. Tribe or village attacks other tribe or village, plus as you rightly pointed out the very different races way back when that went ext. inct. Let's not act surprised that we are wired this way to at least some degree (large or small).
It's quite funny and a bit strange that only we Germans are considered Germanic, although almost all of Europe consists of Indo-European tribes, with corresponding influences on (from) their edges.
Prima - endlich einer, der durchblickt !!!
Germany wasn't unified in 1871. There lived about eight native populations inside the Kaiserreich's borders; Frisians, French, Danish, Sorbians, Poles, Kashubians, Lithuanians and Mazovians.
At the same time about 40% of German speakers lived in other politically independent countries, like Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, the Russian Tsardom, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Austria-Hungary, among others even outside Europe.
In what stretch of the word can that be called the unification of a nation state? It was a Union of the petty, but still independent German states with Prussia, whose population was less than 50% ethnic German. Austria is one of the OG German states with unbroken Germanic settlement since Rome fell, while Prussia arose as a Baltic state, which linguistically Germanized.
Without any of the electoral provinces, it cannot be a unified Germany. Unified with what, Frisians, Danes, Poles and Lithuanians?!
Frisian’s and Danes share genetic affinity with Germans as a whole but with northern and north western Germans they’re essentially identical.
@@reimer0015 true, what does that matter though to a ethno-linguistic community?
@@To.Si.Ma. I referred to Prussia in 1789. Indeed in 1871, the ratio had shifted a bit towards a higher percentage of German speakers in Prussia than before the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars.
Hitler thought Austria was the one with less than pure German blood
Prussia was annexed by Brandenburg after the 30 years war and was an elector for a 100s of years, Brandenburg was only renamed into Prussia as the Brandenburgers wanted to be a Kingdom, but couldn't as HRE member, so called themself King in (not of) Prussia. Austria on the other hand was never an elector of the HRE and the Habsburg only became emperors by faking birth certificates😅😅😅
52% Eastern European, 11% Scandinavian, 18% Balkanese, 13% Baltic, 6% Scottish
100% East German 💪🏻
Whiteout Haplogroups assigned that means nothing.
@@roboparks What do you mean? I gather you just like your Nazi forbears know nothing about genetic science. But carry on.
Such an interesting video! Combines culture, anthropology & migration. Well researched!!
My haplogroup is H10e. I’ve had DNA testing to identify relatives. What a wonderful way to look at the rest of humanity. Have met many “DNA cousins”.
I knew a lot of my ancestry before DNA testing. My dad’s background (R1 b) was Irish, Scots-Irish. My mom was German-Dutch. (My parents & their parents were born in US.) Also, some Scandi & SW Asian (first farmers) One company was able to assign my DNA as 46% first agriculturalists, 44% Hunter-gatherers & 10% iron -age people.
Each one of us is such a blend of all those who came before!
I have a German last name from a German ancestor who came to New Zealand on a whaling ship in 1809 and took a wife from one of the native people who was a niece of a well known young Chief who kept cutting down the pole the British Flag was hanging off. He did it 3 times. Maori peoples were the only minority of a colonized place that the British made a treaty with, the only ones out of all their colonies.
Another fascinating study is that of the Maori. Olmecs, Maori, Samoans, "Easter Island" inhabitants, "Polynesians" - all appear to have a shared DNA heritage. You can see that just from images. Some have postulated that this entire people group came from the sunken continent of Mu.

I like your accent. Hi from a German in Germany 👋
Thanks :) Hi from Scotland
@@celtichistorydecodedwas in scotland recently, what a beautiful country 🥰
very Scot and Celtic in general, kind of hard to understand for me (OrlandoFlorida).
I have half German ancestry. Generally from within the main current republic. Maybe some Swiss. I never took a DNA test but some of these comments about people's heritage is very interesting.
Great video!
I must say, you're going pretty fast here. I know it's your style. I have a background in this stuff and you're going fast even for me. If someone is watching this video with little background in these subjects it would be wise of them to pause the video a few times to absorb and ponder
In terms of DNA it does not make sense to distinguis between German and Swiss DNA. If your German ancestors were from the Southwest then they were as Allemanic as your Swiss ancestors...
It was very surprising when I found out that the linear pottery culture people or closely related groups also left a genetic legacy in Africa due to the mostly prehistoric migrations back to Africa: the Eurasian backflow. The Toubou people of Chad, for example, have at least some of their ancestry from this people or a related group.
don't forget the Vandals... Gothic people migrated from [now] Germany, all the way through Gibraltar and ended up in [then] Carthage... tall, blond, bleu-eyed ppl in N.Africa...
I am also German American i only have the corded ware people from my DNA test . My grandmother family escaped from east Berlin to Milwaukee Wisconsin
I have one Germanic ancestor (from Baden, born in 1840), a 3rd great grandfather. I grew up with a German maiden name. I even took German in College!
Then my tests came back and I traced my paper trail… No German 😂
Thanks for this video. My dad, a direct ancestor, had his haplo come back as R-Z253, which is downstream of R-M269 (Irish type 3) and it’s always thrown me off. His results do not say German; he comes back as 1.3 Scandinavian and 1.4 Eastern European (specifically from his paternal side) I guess the haplo could indeed fit?
Help me make sense of this 😅
3% German makes sense since your one German ancestor was a 3rd great grandparent, 3% is exactly the amount you’d inherit from a 3rd gg on average
Its what is in your heart that really counts
R1B U106 is a subset of R-M269. I’m a subset of, within R-BY93784. While U106 often referred to as the ‘Germanic’, my understanding os R-BY93784 originated just before the changeover from BC to AD, and all known members are from the British Isles (within England, Scotland, or the surrounding islands); Hatherdene 9 lived in Cambridgeshire circa 500 AD, and is estimated to have branched off circa 500 BC. It seems as though my paternal line was in Britain prior to the Roman arrival.
There is no common genetic German ancestry. As pointed out, Germany, or better to say central Europe, has been a melting pot for millennia. There are significant genetic borders within Germany - for one, the Roman limes with Celtic and Roman ancestry to the south and west, as in Württemberg, Baden, Bavaria, on the Rhine and the Saar/Mosel. You mention Asian influx in Bavaria, which is due to the Hungarian invasions. Then there is east Germany with mostly Slavic ancestry, but also some proto-Germanic roots. And finally the north of Germany with Germans from Scandinavia. The genetic differences are pronounced and can still be seen in the population today: some people in the south-west look like Italians, while their neighbors in the next village are tall and blond. You can find families with Celtic ancestry, with brown hair and green eyes, and others, who's forefathers were Hugenots from France. Others again are children of 19th century Polish migrants.
One common trait in all and that is they are all Caucasian which our controllers seem to have started a war against in some places. There were many Aryan peoples around the world long ago like the Scythian's who had symbols of Swastikas which brought good fortune and well being and People of Persia and many others even in China.
R1b would be the Close. But Many Sub-Claves in Germany. But R1b is also the Celts in Modern day France with many sub-groups
No, "Caucasian" has been a misapplied term since its origin point.
Only the ethnicities in and immediately adjacent to the Caucasus Mountain range are actually and properly designated as Caucasians.
No one else.
And notably, they are considered western Asian.
The varying ethnicities in Europe, with the exception of the "Roma," are truly Europeans.
Be very careful using the term "caucasians" because it was never factually accurate for the balance of people to whom it has been habitually misapplied.
And failure to properly term the ethnic Germans or French or Estonians and everyone else as properly _European_ plays into the hands of those insisting those distinct peoples are simultaneously monolithic while also not a race, are not indigenous (ancestral landclaim), and have no "culture."
We all understand why this group, alone, is being thusly targeted, too.
The Whole Truth About the Germans. The Celtic South, the Scandinavian North, the Slavic East.
@@EyeSeeThruYou "Caucasian" if you understand DNA
would point to something 15-10,000 years ago Not really a modern thing.
Mine is E-V13. They were from northern Germany along the Rhine in area around and near towns such as Cologne. Even today, E-V13 has only small population pockets outside of the Balkans. This seems to indicate a Roman origin, or more specifically, Roman Auxiliary, likely from the Balkans (especially modern Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, and modern Kosovo.) where E-V13 is most common. The Romans heavily drew on the Balkans to fill their ranks of their Auxiliary, especially Macedonians, Thracians, Dacians, and Illyrians, all of which have large populations of E-V13.

Scandinavia was covered by ice up to 13 000 years ago. I think it is fair to assume that proto-indo-European people will have moved into Scandinavia only after the Ice Age was coming to an end. Later some Germanic tribes will have moved on again . From the 3rd century AD Germanic tribes moved into Noricum , the Roman colony south of the Limes (Danube). Up to then he predominant people have been Celtic.
Very informative and interesting dive into the genetics.
It’s interesting, I’ve seen a chart that showed that a majority of Germans have brown eyes, which is not something many of us would expect. I myself have heritage from Germany and Austria-Hungary and I have dark brown eyes and dark brown hair.

I'm first generation American. Three of my grandparents were Italian, from Lombardia and Friuli Venezia-Giulia, while my maternal grandmother was Walloon (Francophonic Belgium). My 23 & Me results came back 63.9% French and German and only 33.0% Italian, with dashes of Balkan, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese tossed in. Northern Italy was invaded by Teutonic hordes after the collapse of the Roman Empire. That probably accounts for my pronounced Germanic genetic background.

I am north italian. in Italy we derive from a mix of different peoples, and in Italy's DNA there is also a lot of Germanic element due to many invasions of peoples from the north during the Middle Ages. Before the conquest of Rome in northern Italy there were also the Celts. But the cultures of these peoples were absorbed by Latin culture.
@@AndreKamera My mom was Lombarda (and half Belgian), from the Lago d'Iseo region, and my dad Friulano, from a small village near Pordenone.

I’m a New Zealander, and my mother always said she was of English and Scottish decent and my father is Samoan with a tiny percent of German. However when I bought a DNA test for my sister, the results stated, that most of her genetics were Scandinavian and east Baltic to my surprise. Then one day I stumbled upon a news article about how today‘s inhabitants on the Isle of Skye (where my mothers ancestors are primarily from) are nearly all of Nordic blood according to recent studies. The east Baltic genes potentially comes from my father’s side, as it was Prussia during the time when Germany colonised Samoa.

Born between 35 and 28 thousand years ago, haplogroup I represents one of the first peoples in Europe, having several descendant lineages that spread throughout the European territory during the last Ice Age, having its maximum frequency in the Balkans. It is one of the most numerous haplogroups among European men, being the second largest paternal lineage found on the continent (second only to the R lineage). Its I1 branch is related to Nordic Europe, ancestral to the Germanic and Viking tribes, while I2 is strongly related to Neolithic cultures.Linhagem Materna
Seu haplogrupo é:
A
O haplogrupo A surgiu na Ásia há cerca de 40 a 60 mil anos. Descendente da linhagem N, os representantes desse haplogrupo podem ser encontrados desde a Ásia Central até a Sibéria e regiões das Américas. Acredita-se que essa linhagem tenha se originado na Ásia e seguido em direção à América, passando pelo Estreito de Bering durante o último Período Glacial.

Not Slavs but CWC people. 30% of German population are R1a. Are they Slavs? R1b are Celtic people who migrated from Spain, France and Irland to western Germany
@@valamerkozlowski7915 Their ancestors were most likely Slavs. Slavs lived to Elbe and either got killed or Germanized. Sorbs are the only survivors using Slavic languages.
@@valamerkozlowski7915 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polabian_Slavs I believe Ossies vs Wessies difference is much older than from second half of 20th c. Similarly, Russians nowadays speak Slavic but few of them had Slavic ancestors.
@@valamerkozlowski7915 At least 60% of Polish DNA is R1a, and are Slavs. R1a is considered to be the Slavic, Kurgan and Ayran gene linked to the real Aryans who are the early Iranic peoples rather than the mixed people of Iran today. The point is that Germany like the rest of Europe has diverse genes which is a separate issue to belong to one nation with the same language, culture and history. At least 30% of Poles have R1b genes. Does that make them Germanic or Celtic? No way. They are Poles who speak a Western Slavic language which makes them Slavs.
@@defendfreedom1390 You are relating language to ethnicity. That's very wrong assumption. If somebody is speaking German doesn't mean he is an ethnic german. Most of people in Germany who speaks the language are not real germans, they are of celtic origin. Only the north east germans are the real ethically germans. The rest are celtics from spain and portugal as well as france and ireland
Dont understand who invented Prussia and later Germany. They was merely clan kingdoms united by holy roman empire.
There were 2 Prussia's BTW. You describe the 1 st one. the 2nd was when Prussia broke off and became protestant , And was a Independent Nation state for a while. Today its Broken up Between Poland and Germany . Why the Germans and Pols fight for it for century's
Talking about genetics we should leave politics aside and speak of germanic rather than german ancestry. Right?
With DNA yes
The Complexity of German Identity
The historical migrations and interactions in Germany resulted in a diverse population with mixed ancestries. While a substantial portion can trace their roots to Germanic tribes, others have significant Celtic, Slavic, or other ancestries due to centuries of intermingling and later migrations.
The substantial part of Germans consisted of various Germanic tribes speaking a tongue similar to their own.
Impact on Modern Populations
The widespread movement and intermingling of these Germanic tribes with other groups across Europe significantly shaped the genetic and cultural landscape of numerous nations.
England: The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated to Britain, laying the foundation for the English language and culture.
Scandinavia: The North Germanic tribes settled in present-day Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland.
Netherlands: The Franks and Frisians played a crucial role in forming the Dutch people.
Germany: While the Franks were also instrumental in the formation of Germany, the region also saw influxes of other tribes, such as the Saxons, Alemanni, and Bavarians.
Props for that accent! Glaswegian no?
r1b-m269 57%, R-L21 22% No Culture assigned do to DNA doesn't identify culture only Geographical family origins. But Im 100% American (9 Generations)
During the 30-years war and due to pestilence, a large part of former Geman inhabitants went extinct.. Who remained, mixed with all the remaining parts of all the troops, who were rioting during 30 years war , who came from all parts of Europe, from Sweden to Portugal. So we are quite a mixture...
You gave short shrift to the I1 and I2, proto-European paternal lines that have been in Europe far longer than the R1b and R1a.
Germans have celtic and balto slavic ancestry, they're not as germanic as they think
where mostly germanic does in the north and west are 80-90% germanic does in the east can have 20-70% slavic admixtur and the south has celtic roman and slavic dna
True. The Germans have much Celtic blood. In fact there would be little genetic differences, between the German and Celtic ancient tribes.
Those slavic ancestry in eastern Germans is most likely also connected to the end of the second world war and Russian cultural tendencies which can be seen again in the current war.
@@MrNebelschattenYes. A lot of eastern German’s have Slavic ancestry, due to the aftermath of World War 2. The Soviet’s were busy helping eastern German women turn half of the fatherland, into the new motherland. 😂
@@MrNebelschatten i dont thinks so since aroud 2 milion german woman where r by the soviet and around only like 50-100k of them had the kids the slavic ancestery is becus the slavs and germanics mixed alot over the years like zechs are almost half germanic
The difference between Germanics and Germans.
This problems is of linguistic nature and often occures to English speakers as in Dutch, German, Swedish etc. there is a clear distinction between German and Germanic (all of these people are Germanic but not German).
English Germanic German
Dutch Germaans Duits
German Germanisch Deutsch
Swedish Germansk Tysk
Danish Germansk Tysk
Norwegian (Bokmål) Germansk Tysk
Norwegian (Nynorsk) Germansk Tysk
Icelandic Þýskur Þjóðverji
Tysk is related to Thutisk, Tuitisk, Tuits, Duits and Deutsch all derived from the old Germanic word for people (speaking the same language).
"Germanic" cognates: The word for "Germanic" is remarkably consistent across these languages, all stemming from the Proto-Germanic root "þeudiskaz", meaning "of the people."
"German" cognates: The words for "German" exhibit more variation.
The North Germanic languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian) use "Tysk," derived from "þeudisk", also meaning "of the people." This highlights the close historical and linguistic ties between these groups.
Icelandic uses "Þjóðverji," which translates to "people-defender" or "people-warden." This likely reflects historical interactions and perceptions.
English and Dutch use terms derived from the Latin word "Germania" and the name of a specific Germanic tribe, the Alamanni, respectively.
Germans are Germanic but not only Germanic. Baltic tribes, Celtic and Roman migration has significantly added to Germany's population. The DNA admixture may vary depending on regions..
We are street dogs, Mixed Up with everyone.
T2 and mostly ceu and fin groups but with punjabi, iberian and peruvian. If i didn't get the test i would have no idea. Also a little taller than average with dark blonde and blue with amber center eyes.
My parents were born in the azores so I grew up in a Portuguese household. I did a DNA test a few years back for shits and giggles. And it turns out I am mostly Portuguese but also almost a quarter Irish, and the rest German like almost 20%
Are people in the Azores white?
@@Occident. They're tanned primarily.
I think so lol. My dad jas a niece over there that could pass as Norwegian, fair, with hlue eyes and blond hair and his nephews ate pretty pale and blue eyes.
I get a pretty good tan in the summer months but but lighten up during the winter lol. But i dont think tan does mean not “white” arnold Schwarzenegger is pretty tan for an austrian
@@Occident.Yes Portuguese is white. They largely consist of Roman and Celtic blood.
I don't understand half of what this guy is saying.
me neither...it sounds like he singing
BTW what is your dialect?
The people in this region are a diverse mixture of many groups, mainly due to war and the arrival of people from outside the area. The tribes from this period are far removed from ancient Africa, which includes today's Egypt(Kemet). The African melanin Noble Class were the original occupants of what is called, Germany and Europe today. My question is, when and why do BC dates come before AC dates? Why was there a need to include either BC or AD? Was AC dates co-relating to the beginning of a new people's DNA. Although, during that period accurate calendars were in circulation.
4:58 and alot of influence from "Danish" due to Danelagen
😂😂 Sorry, but you remind me of "Trainspotting": "Smoking serious demages health." (with scottish accent) 😉👍
May I suggest that you speak more slowly during your very fine expositions. Your Scottish accent, along with the rush you seem to have to get out your message in just a few minutes, makes it difficult for me to understand your message. At the end of each of your videos I feel the need to replay the video but don’t always have the time. I love your content and am sorry to criticize but honestly think you could improve a bit by slowing down. I would enjoy a 15 minute video even more than the 10 minutes you gave us. And thank you for giving us this information.
You can slow down speed by yourselves
Literally thought this was being narrated by Pippin till I saw the guy 😂
Of course you're incvuding the Huns in trhe German tribes right?
The Huns led by Attila have left genetic traits.
I had a large underbite/hapsberg jaw and look very much like Philip iv of Spain (had my jaw operated on while in high school to correct it), so would not be surprised if i had a bastsrd ancestor from that line. My DNA is actually 40% Scandinavian, 30% Scottish, with the remainder mainly English and German.
*Habsburg
Elongated skulls have been found in South America as well. I guess the elongated female skulls mentioned was really of mainly East Asian origin. Hun/Chinese princesses?
There is too long time between Nativ Americans split to Hun Europe (ca 20 000 Years) but if culture is partially a product of genes it makes sense.
Nativ Americans has nothing to do with huns
My advice would be to find something to drink with less caffeine in it; otherwise, you'll burn out your jaw muscles before you hit puberty. JMO Kudos on being very thorough!
Germany had always been a melting pot for all kinds of people moving around in Europe with one exception, the people of northern Hessia. Their ancestors lived already there during roman times and possible before. Mayby because this region was never an important part of the transcontinental trading. This trading took place along the mighty rivers such as Rhine, Danube or Elbe.
May i please ask you about your accent ? From wich area do you come ? I really would Love to know ? Thanks and greetings fom Austria.❤
Thanks. I'm from Central Scotland
@@celtichistorydecoded thank you. I find it fascinating, your accent has a characteristic that reminds me of bavarian with some sounds that i know from swissgerman. I hope you don' mind.
My Yankee ears can only understand about 70% of what that man is saying due to what I perceive as his accent.
My grandpa told me I have German DNA in me
And don't forget the Alans.
8:58 You mean, I presume, that the frequency of the Habsburg chin is due to inbreeding after an ancestor or rather ancestress who had this feature?
Inbreeding doesn't produce defective genes, just makes them show.
The elongated skulls were 1/3 larger brain capacity and 50-60 % stronger denser also towards the back top of the skull has two smaller holes one left and one right groves down the back of the skull there are no suture lines on the skulls. They tested human.
I am white british boy hopefully fingers crossed 🤞I will born as white european boy in my next life.
Slow doon yer talkin man. It's hard wark listenin tae ye. I
My own ancestary.
great accent , greetings from Austria
I found out that my great grandfather was "Homer Seymour." Is this German?
