A new genomic analysis from southern Germany provides insights into the formation of Central European societies following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
The research indicates that many contemporary villages and towns can trace their roots back to settlements that emerged during this transformative period.
These early settlements often developed on sites that were once part of the Roman Empire or in close proximity to the Limes, the ancient boundary of Roman territory.
