Lol MTA is able to differentiate Rugii genome? On what basis. Is there any skeleton tested, described by archeologists as Rugii warrior? Please tell me which one

Also Thuringii

You tell me. All I know is these are civilizations TrueAncestryDNA claims to document but I have yet to see anyone get these as top results.

It was general question, not for you of course. I just saw in your comment they added Rugii now so I had to quote it. But they should add some link to paper (I know it is impossible) if they assign such population for users as based on real genomes.

What else? Scirii, Bastarnae, Herulii? It's not even funny.

It's probably made up. My Irish mom got Danish Viking as a top population...lol. I want to know how they can tell the difference between a Vandal, a Danish Viking, a Norwegian Viking, Icelandic Vikings, and regular vikings.

I't magic apaprently
But I guess all their Franks, Thuringii, Rugii are offshot of Baiuvar and Szolad samples. You know I made for fun PCA with modern clusters for those samples some time ago and yes, some cluster with NE French so they are Franks for MTA, some with central Germans so they are probably MTA's Thuringii... And so on... Problem is they were Baiuvars and Langobards.

The same is for those Vikings. Modern PCA (in K15) and they superimpose Sigtuna and medieval Icelandic academic vikings on modern Scandinavian clusters. No matter if it is real connection or not.

I don't pay too much attention to it. My sister and I got similar examples after she got her ancestry.com test results this past weekend. As for the Rugii, aren't they supposedly from SW Norway but migrated south as did many other Germanic tribes? My mother has much of her ancestry from that region.

It´s easy, the horns they wore in their helmets had different size.

Yes, but I asked from what study are Rugii samples.

So I guess judging from your mother example, they use for them those Szolad or Baiuvar samples which clustered near Norway... Very clever.

I'm waiting for creation of other Germanic tribes in such way

[Matty74]

I have no idea. I’d have to read more about it.
