Indeed. But you shouldn't call such people "European" as they never lived in Europe. Their distant descendants may have moved there, but these people were steppe-dwellers with a long reputation for being raiders.

The Gothic History of Jordanes is a good place to read about them and their semi-mythical history.

i didn’t call them european

the reporters scientists and the Discovery Channel are calling them european

direct your critique that-a-way

(in my little brain i’m calling them proto-vikings because it fits into my simplistic cosmologic menagerie quite nicely without too much cerebral heavy lifting...lol...give the few brain cells still intact after the 70’s a rest)
