The Germanic languages, including English, German and the Nordic languages, are widely assumed to have dispersed from Southern Scandinavia after the Pre-Roman Iron Age. However, the demographic processes behind their diversification are not yet fully understood. In addition, it is currently not known when and from where the Germanic language group arrived in Scandinavia.<\/p>\n
To understand the prehistoric and historical distributions of the Germanic languages, I contributed to a paleogenomic study analyzing 710 ancient genomes and 3,940 published genomes from western Eurasia. Results indicate a Late Neolithic cross-Baltic maritime migration and significant genetic shifts during the Migration Period, impacting populations across northern Europe.<\/p>\n
In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of interpreting archaeogenomic evidence at clarifying language origins and dispersals.<\/p>\n
