DNA Analysis Identifies Origin of Slavs In Modern-Day Belarus and Ukraine – Brno Daily – EUROP INFO
DNA Analysis Identifies Origin of Slavs in Modern-Day Belarus and Ukraine BRNO – A groundbreaking genetic study has shed new light on the ancestral roots of Slavic populations in present-day Belarus and Ukraine. According to recent DNA analysis published by researchers collaborating with institutions across Eastern Europe, the findings provide compelling evidence tracing the origins and migrations of these communities back to the early medieval …
Genetic analyses of medieval remains reveal large-scale migrations, diversity, and new insights into early medieval communities.
Over 500 skeletons examined, along with genetic, linguistic, and archaeological analyses, scientists now know the origins of all Slavic peoples. "Our research shows that the history of the Slavs is a story of great migration," says Dr. Joscha Gretzinger of the Max Planck Institute for Cultural Anthropology.

The first Slavs have a common origin in the area between what is now southern Belarus and central Ukraine, according to the findings of an international team of scientists from the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Poland and Croatia, who analysed more than 550 bone samples from the 6th to 8th centuries AD. From the 6th century AD, Slavs migrated across central and eastern Europe, changing the genetic composition of some regions, the research fo…
