It’s not mine. The author claims that the methodology is based on g25+QAPDM.

Looks made-up and based on 'vibes' tbh.

Is there anymore info on this? Ive been trying to find out about the genetics of se germans for a while not a lot seems to be known.

Why do you say that? It seems not far from the truth.

-The Germanic ancestry is overestimated, I can say that for sure for Belgium, and by extension everywhere else. Peterski posted a genetic study not long ago that showed that the Flemish are mostly Gaulish, not majority Germanic as this indicates.
-There is a pretty sharp genetic divide around the Rhine between NW Germans and South Germans/Flemish that is not shown here, it has a more gradual transition which you might expect if you hadn't seen results from the various regions
-Any amateur anthro/genetic map that is divided by arbitrary aesthetic lines rather than official state/region borders I assume is made up

Here is the Belgian study mentioned by J. Ketch:

It's based on amateur qpadm models but yeah definitely looks inflated in some groups

I’ve seen QpAdm models on Twitter that have southern Germans and Northern French samples as more Germanic than English people lol.

I did a model on a Longobard buried in Hungary. The results for this individual were the inverse of what I'd expect.

I guess the further question is where is the database of academic samples that cover all these regions, because I don't think it exists.

re: Germanic overestimation, there was also this study from a couple of years ago which indicated modern Germans are on average over half Celtic, and 1/8 Slavic.

Interesting results. Why are you so continental Celtic shifted?

That wasn't me, that's a longobard individual I modeled.

I guess a lot of continental Celts were forcibly assimilated into Germanic culture.
