French Are Not Gauls? Surprising Ancestry Mix

Описание: For centuries, schoolbooks and history books told us the French are descendants of the Gauls. But modern genetics reveals a far more complex story — a tapestry of hunter-gatherers, early farmers, steppe herders, Romans, Germanic tribes, Vikings, and Mediterranean migrants. This video explores the real genetic history of France and the fascinating truth about the Gauls.

Discover how DNA uncovers migrations, mixtures, and evolving identities that history books often missed. The French are not just Gauls — they are the product of thousands of years of movement, trade, conquest, and integration.
