Original: # MiddleAges # genetics # archaeology How DNA Is Rewriting the History of Early Medieval Europe - Medievalists.net
Genetic research is changing how historians understand the early Middle Ages in Europe. DNA analysis of ancient burials is shedding new light on migration patterns, population mixing and social structures in the centuries after the fall of Rome, challenging long-held accounts based only on written sources and archaeology. The topic is being discussed among medieval history and science enthusiasts online.
Why now: New ancient DNA studies keep revising established narratives about early medieval migrations and societies.
