DNA study reveals origins, migrations and genetic legacy of 'forgotten' Sarmatians

In a recent study, Dr. Oszkár Schütz and his colleagues analyzed 156 ancient genomes from the Sarmatian period, spanning the 1st to 5th centuries CE. The aim of the study was to clarify the origins and genetic relationships of the Carpathian Basin (CB) Sarmatians and explore their connections to other populations from the Eurasian steppe and local groups.
