Here is what the page “Ancient DNA Reveals Suebi, Alans, Visigoths Did Not Erase Roman Hispania Genetic Legacy” contains. A major international study has reconstructed the genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula from the first to eighth centuries A.D., revealing that the arrival of Germanic tribes did not erase the deep genetic legacy of Roman Hispania. Led by the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE, CSIC-UPF) in Barcelona, the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona, Harvard University, and the University of the Basque Country (EHU), researchers analyzed 243 ancient genomes from 31 archaeological sites across Spain and Portugal.
The findings, published in a leading scientific journal, show that despite the political and social upheaval caused by the Suebi, Alans, and Visigoths in the 5th century, the local Hispano-Roman population remained the dominant genetic component. The newcomers contributed only a small fraction of ancestry, primarily in the north and northwest, and their genetic impact was limited compared to earlier migrations such as the Roman conquest or the later Islamic period.
