Genetic composition of Germans?

[reboun]

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?

Depends... south Germany and north Germany...?

Southern Germans have up to 20% Imperial Roman admixture.

Slavic is actually a bit higher than 20%:

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.

On average.
