Asian/Turkic tribes

Some nomadic tribe that were pushed out by China and went west ward to Europe.

It was a confederation of unknown tribes.

I'm fairly sure they loosely descend from the Hsiung-nu, who were pushed out by the Chinese. The Huns were basically 100% warrior people. They raised their boys to fight. They also practiced cranial deformation and allegedly participated in human sacrifice. They basically lived to raid and only ever caused people trouble.

Is there some DNA study on the huns? Like where they originated from?

Somewhere between these two

We don't really know besides a bunch of Roman historians describing Huns from secondhand accounts.

has it correct that they are a confederation. Not quite unknown tribes given that the likes of Goths, Alans, some Indo-Iranians Steppenigs, and other named tribes were with them.

You need to find a 100% Confirmed Hun person.

Which is pretty hard to identify off the bat.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuringii

>The Thuringii established an empire in the late 5th century. It reached its territorial peak in the first half of the 6th before it was conquered by the Franks in 531–532. Examination of Thuringian grave sites reveal cranial features which suggest the strong presence of Hunnic women or slaves, perhaps indicating that many Thuringians took Hunnic wives or Hunnic slaves following the collapse of the Hunnic Empire.

So I guess the Hun heritage lives on in Germany.

Isn't head deformation a good enough indication of being hun? If said skull is found in a hunnic grave?

Its an indication of hunnic culture but says nothing about ethnicity

the skull sure does, it's not flat like east asian maxillae. That's a european skull, but I'm willing to bet the huns were a sort of Avar/Slav situation where one group sort of led the other around on a leash, sort of like foederati but with a more despotic twist.

if you sample 20-30 finds and DNA test them, wouldn't that give you a good measure of what ethnicity the hunnic culture was?

HUNS WERE NOT A SINGLE TRIBE HOLY SHIT

They were a confederation of everything from Mongols to Slavs and Germanics.

>source please

How do you know that?

But who was the original tribe who started this shit?

Xiongnu probably.

Who are the xiongnu are they turkic, mongolic or tungusic or are they the the proto culture that encroached all of them.

huns were aliens confirmed

Steppe-Niggers

I mean there is no way to tell that the skull is an ethnic hun, whatever an ethnic hun actually is

they were a bunch of random tribes
they had no homogenous ethnicity
