Why Poles are so little influenced genetically by Western neighbours despite so much history?

Subscribed. This sounds like an interesting theme.

History and mystery. Quite many tend to say Poles are quite Celtic and Germanic admixed but is this really true?

I tend to agree.

In my area it's the other way around.

I tend to agree.

Is it Germanic component making you genetically close to Germans? Anyways, it must be seen in DNA tests and also compared to Czechs who usually have it and Eastern Slavs who usually don't have it. Does it show up?

It clusters more British/Celtic and Scandinavian than C.German and seems to be pretty old.

It looks similar to E.German in K36Marques but IMHO these E. Germans are rather Germanized autochthons.
