In this episode, we get into a topic that is still controversial to this day, the origin of the Huns.
We discuss historiography on the origins of the Huns and what the traditional views have been and how they changed over time and why?
Then we actually talk about the DNA itself and what it tells us about the Huns, their origins and their neighbors.
Once again, we watch as DNA falls nicely into place and makes our understanding of the past much more clearer and yet…. even more complicated.
