Article Synopsis
- The Gepids were a Germanic tribe that settled in the Carpathian Basin during the Migration Period, becoming allies of the Huns and later forming an independent kingdom after the fall of the Hun Empire.
- Due to limited historical and archaeological evidence, there's ongoing debate about the origins and makeup of these populations, prompting new research into their genetic legacy.
- The study analyzed 46 complete mitochondrial genomes from Gepid cemeteries in Transylvania dating to the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD, revealing that the Gepids primarily descended from Northwestern European lineages, which contributed significantly to their genetic structure.
