🔴 **High-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe**

_“We reveal evidence of the southward and/or eastward expansion of individuals who probably spoke Germanic languages and who had Scandinavian-related ancestry in the first half of the first millennium ce. We note that ‘Scandinavian-related’ in this context relates to the ancient genomes available, and so it is entirely possible that these processes were driven, for example, from regions in northern-central Europe. This could be consistent with the attraction of the greater wealth, which tended to build up among Rome’s immediate neighbours and may have played a major role in vectors of migration internal to communities in Europe who lived beyond the Roman frontier52.”_
