      Hi, thanks for this. I am living in New Zealand. My father was from Bridgenorth, Shropshire, and my mother is from Klienschmalkalden, Thuringia. My mother was fair skinned, but my mothers sister was olive skinned. My surname is old irish. Mum told me we maybe have Croatian, and Bohemian, going back a few generations. The Swedish came through the village at one time. On my fathers side, we have some Welsh ancestry, and Irish, i think. What a mix. My daughter would be interesting too, as she is half Han Chinese. Her mother was from Hong Kong.

      Lower Saxony is in northern Germany. Northern Germans look different from southern Germans, Bavarians or Austrians. This is the part of Germany that was never conquered by the Romans and had more to do with Nordic peoples. Thousands of years ago, a large Germanic group lived there up to Denmark, from which today's Scandinavian peoples emerged. The people there look like Scandinavians. Blonde or red-haired with blue eyes. East Frisia was even isolated from the rest of Germany by swamps for centuries. That's why they still speak an old language there, namely East Frisian, which is more similar to today's English than High German. Northern Germany was unfortunately not discussed in the video.

    Germany wasn't unified in 1871. There lived about eight native populations inside the Kaiserreich's borders; Frisians, French, Danish, Sorbians, Poles, Kashubians, Lithuanians and Mazovians.
    At the same time about 40% of German speakers lived in other politically independent countries, like Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, the Russian Tsardom, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Austria-Hungary, among others even outside Europe.
    In what stretch of the word can that be called the unification of a nation state? It was a Union of the petty, but still independent German states with Prussia, whose population was less than 50% ethnic German. Austria is one of the OG German states with unbroken Germanic settlement since Rome fell, while Prussia arose as a Baltic state, which linguistically Germanized.
    Without any of the electoral provinces, it cannot be a unified Germany. Unified with what, Frisians, Danes, Poles and Lithuanians?!

      It's an invented difference that was widely spread after the end of WW2 to "other" German people from the rest of Europe. What we know to be true about ancestry in Europe today, was actually pioneered by anthropologists and archaeologists who worked under the administration of the NSDAP, in their effort to map out the ancestry of the German people in the mid 20th century.
      Denial of a common Indo-European ancestry, is a consequence of post-WW2 propaganda that aimed to cover up the common origin of the European peoples which the Nazis had discovered.

We used to have other races that lived alongside Homo sapiens sapiens, but our ancestors were very successful at k*lling off all competition the moment they reached a new habitat. What you are referring to are region specific adaptive traits that developed. But biologically speaking there are not enough genetic differences for us to be categorised into separate races.
      Sociologically we separate humans into different races based on their adaptive traits. However that brings forward the question why we define race differently for humans than we do with all other known species. The only obvious answer that springs to mind would be the facilitation of “othering” entire groups, nations, continents of people. That’s why the race rhetoric in regards to humans is dangerous.

This seems to indicate a Roman origin, or more specifically, Roman Auxiliary, likely from the Balkans (especially modern Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, and modern Kosovo.) where E-V13 is most common. The Romans heavily drew on the Balkans to fill their ranks of their Auxiliary, especially Macedonians, Thracians, Dacians, and Illyrians, all of which have large populations of E-V13.

    It was very surprising when I found out that the linear pottery culture people or closely related groups also left a genetic legacy in Africa due to the mostly prehistoric migrations back to Africa: the Eurasian backflow. The Toubou people of Chad, for example, have at least some of their ancestry from this people or a related group.

    There is no common genetic German ancestry. As pointed out, Germany, or better to say central Europe, has been a melting pot for millennia. There are significant genetic borders within Germany - for one, the Roman limes with Celtic and Roman ancestry to the south and west, as in Württemberg, Baden, Bavaria, on the Rhine and the Saar/Mosel. You mention Asian influx in Bavaria, which is due to the Hungarian invasions. Then there is east Germany with mostly Slavic ancestry, but also some proto-Germanic roots. And finally the north of Germany with Germans from Scandinavia. The genetic differences are pronounced and can still be seen in the population today: some people in the south-west look like Italians, while their neighbors in the next village are tall and blond. You can find families with Celtic ancestry, with brown hair and green eyes, and others, who's forefathers were Hugenots from France. Others again are children of 19th century Polish migrants.

      No, "Caucasian" has been a misapplied term since its origin point.
      Only the ethnicities in and immediately adjacent to the Caucasus Mountain range are actually and properly designated as Caucasians.
      No one else.
      And notably, they are considered western Asian.
      The varying ethnicities in Europe, with the exception of the "Roma," are truly Europeans.
      Be very careful using the term "caucasians" because it was never factually accurate for the balance of people to whom it has been habitually misapplied.
      And failure to properly term the ethnic Germans or French or Estonians and everyone else as properly _European_ plays into the hands of those insisting those distinct peoples are simultaneously monolithic while also not a race, are not indigenous (ancestral landclaim), and have no "culture."
      We all understand why this group, alone, is being thusly targeted, too.

    The Complexity of German Identity
    The historical migrations and interactions in Germany resulted in a diverse population with mixed ancestries. While a substantial portion can trace their roots to Germanic tribes, others have significant Celtic, Slavic, or other ancestries due to centuries of intermingling and later migrations.
    The substantial part of Germans consisted of various Germanic tribes speaking a tongue similar to their own.
    Impact on Modern Populations
    The widespread movement and intermingling of these Germanic tribes with other groups across Europe significantly shaped the genetic and cultural landscape of numerous nations.
    England: The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated to Britain, laying the foundation for the English language and culture.
    Scandinavia: The North Germanic tribes settled in present-day Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland.
    Netherlands: The Franks and Frisians played a crucial role in forming the Dutch people.
    Germany: While the Franks were also instrumental in the formation of Germany, the region also saw influxes of other tribes, such as the Saxons, Alemanni, and Bavarians.

    The difference between Germanics and Germans.
    This problems is of linguistic nature and often occures to English speakers as in Dutch, German, Swedish etc. there is a clear distinction between German and Germanic (all of these people are Germanic but not German).
    English Germanic German
    Dutch Germaans Duits
    German Germanisch Deutsch
    Swedish Germansk Tysk
    Danish Germansk Tysk
    Norwegian (Bokmål) Germansk Tysk
    Norwegian (Nynorsk) Germansk Tysk
    Icelandic Þýskur Þjóðverji
    Tysk is related to Thutisk, Tuitisk, Tuits, Duits and Deutsch all derived from the old Germanic word for people (speaking the same language).
    "Germanic" cognates: The word for "Germanic" is remarkably consistent across these languages, all stemming from the Proto-Germanic root "þeudiskaz", meaning "of the people."
    "German" cognates: The words for "German" exhibit more variation.
    The North Germanic languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian) use "Tysk," derived from "þeudisk", also meaning "of the people." This highlights the close historical and linguistic ties between these groups.
    Icelandic uses "Þjóðverji," which translates to "people-defender" or "people-warden." This likely reflects historical interactions and perceptions.
    English and Dutch use terms derived from the Latin word "Germania" and the name of a specific Germanic tribe, the Alamanni, respectively.
    Germans are Germanic but not only Germanic. Baltic tribes, Celtic and Roman migration has significantly added to Germany's population. The DNA admixture may vary depending on regions..

The point is that Germany like the rest of Europe has diverse genes which is a separate issue to belong to one nation with the same language, culture and history.

    Germany had always been a melting pot for all kinds of people moving around in Europe with one exception, the people of northern Hessia. Their ancestors lived already there during roman times and possible before. Mayby because this region was never an important part of the transcontinental trading. This trading took place along the mighty rivers such as Rhine, Danube or Elbe.
