The ancestors of Attila’s Huns took many generations on their way westward and mixed with populations across Eurasia”.

One would think that is a given. Not sure I would call rape “mixing”. More like “insertion”.

It’s a difficult confession to make, but I have never taken the time to debate whether the Huns were descended from the Xiongnu (or their ancestors the Xiongold for that matter).

According to a Hungarian relative, Hungarians are taught that they are descended from the Huns, and that Attila was a national hero.

I was taught that the Huns were one of those groups not based on biology . Anybody could be a Hun. This finding doesn’t change that.
