into germanity
The German term Deutschland, originally diutisciu land ("the German lands") is derived from deutsch (cf. dutch), *descended from Old High German diutisc "popular" (i.e. belonging to the diot or diota "people"), originally used to distinguish the language of the common people from Latin and its Romance descendants*
so much about it
The Germans themselves I should regard as aboriginal, and not mixed at all with other races through immigration or intercourse.
Tacitus
good now add everything that happened after Tacitus
they spread, and some other tribes may have been assimilated
it doesn't follow that modern germans aren't their direct descendants
will catch up with you later
you are not wrong at all
SWISS ARE IN THREE GROUPS
GERMANIC, FRENCH AND ITALIAN
but are missing the point of germans being "mixed"
FRENCH WAS FRANKISH TRIBES PLUS NATIVES
on a national level
WHO WERE SOLUTREANS OR SOMETHING LIKE IT
REMEMBER ALL OF EUROPE IS FORMED FROM TWO POPULATIONS
A WANDERING PRE-HALSTATT TYPE
AND A NORTHERN MIDDLE EASTERN FARMING TYPE
THEN TO THAT ADD ASIATICS FOR SLAVS
