**The genetic structure of Norway** 🇳🇴
"_The main finding of this study is that despite Norway’s long maritime history and as a former Danish territory, the region closest to mainland Europe in the south appears to have been an isolated region in Norway, highlighting the open sea as a barrier to gene flow into Norway._"

@homelessjun@mas.to It would be interesting to know the name of the book that you read.
@homelessjun@mas.to @histodon @histodons I think that the term 'celt' refers to more than one particular people, their settlements spread as far west as Ireland and as far east as Anatolia.

**2,000 years of German history in 200 pages**
"_Before the dawn of the Common Era two thousand years ago, Julius Caesar gave the land its name, Germania. But it was nineteen hundred years before the land became a country. That happened only in 1871 when the ruthless and brilliant Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck united twenty-five independent kingdoms, grand duchies, duchies, principalities, and free cities in a new German Empire._"

"_These finds put the Anglo-Saxon princes and their followers centre-stage in one of the last great wars of late antiquity. It takes them out of insular England into the plains of Syria and Iraq in a world of conflict and competition between the Byzantines and the Sasanians and gave those Anglo-Saxons literally a taste for something much more global than they probably could have imagined._"
