Original: # MiddleAges # genetics # archaeology How DNA Is Rewriting the History of Early Medieval Europe - Medievalists.net
New genetic research from archaeological remains is changing how historians understand the early medieval period in Europe, including the era often called the Dark Ages. DNA analysis of buried populations is shedding light on migration patterns, kinship and social structures that written sources from the Middle Ages do not fully capture. Medievalists.net highlights how these findings challenge long-held assumptions about the period's peoples and movements.
Why now: Ancient DNA studies keep producing findings that overturn established historical narratives about early medieval Europe
