flag New DNA analysis uncovers unknown European migrations, including early Scandinavian presence in Britain.

flag Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute used a new DNA analysis method called Twigstats to uncover previously unknown waves of migration across Europe between 1 AD and 1000 AD. flag By studying the genomes of over 1,500 ancient Europeans, the team identified migrations among Germanic-speaking peoples and Viking invasions not documented in historical records. flag The study also revealed Scandinavian ancestry in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, challenging previous beliefs. flag This research highlights the power of modern DNA analysis in understanding human migration and population changes.
