[gothic-l] Study of Gothic Remains

[Oskar Andersson]

Hi,

I agree on this. Moreover, there's an author, Luigi-Luca Cavalli-Sforza who has done quite some work on population genetics and migratory patterns. I am not sure whether he actually did much on patterns in AD, but he has done quite some work on migratory patterns during the Neolithical revolution (approx. 10 000 years ago)and the arrival of modern man in Europe (approx 40 000 years ago).

He has this big book called "The History And Geography Of Human Genes," which ought to deal with some of the migratory patterns in 100BC-700AD. Unfortunately I haven't read this book, but I warmly dare to recommend it since I absolutely adore his other books, like "The Great Human Diasporas" and "Genes, People and Languages."

Best,
Oskar
