    Default What do you think is the ultimate origin of Germanic people?

    I've heard a lot of various theories on them, but does anybody know for sure where their ultimate place of origin is?


    Seems they burst on the scene in the early ADs from pretty much out of nowhere.

    Essentially a hybridization between Steppic Indo-European, Proto-Germanic Speakers and native Norse settlers created the ethnogenesis of what is unilaterally known as Germanic peoples.
    “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

    - H.P. Lovecraft

    I've read that early Germans originated on the Southern Scandinavia and the North German Plain.
