I asked Gemini and it told me Germans are genetically:
50-60% Germanic
15-30% Celtic
10-20% Slavic
5-10% Roman
How true is it?

Germans are more Steppe and WHG in the north while the south is more EEF.
Did you ask Gemini what it based the figures on?
There's no evidence of significant 'Roman' ancestry in Germany (or anywhere north of the Alps), and the average German is more Celtic than Germanic.

I've noticed AI will repeat genetic "old wives tales" a lot (speaking to the "Roman" input part here). People need to stop treating it like it has all the answers. Like folks have been saying, it depends regionally. Really, the different extremities of the country could constitute related-but-different ethnic groups, if we accept that the Dutch are a different nation from the Germans.

10% is not "significant".. In South Germany "roman ancestry" could be 20% and in north Germany could be 5%..Quote:

significant (adjective)
sufficiently great or important to be worthy of attention; noteworthy:
"a significant increase in sales"
Not only Continental Celtic but practically proto-Celtic I believe.Quote:
