Genealogy / Who are the Poles? Balts, Germanics, or Sarmo-Sycthians? [19]

I wonder why you started new threads when these subjects are already up...
I'm just interesting and i don't think you can find thread like this with similar topic..

Back to topic, who are the Poles in your opinion? Slavicised Germanics? Slavicised Balts? Slavicised Sarmo-Scythians? Or proto-Slavs with significant Germanic ancestry in the West and Baltic ancestry in the North East? I'd love to hear Polish members' opinions and of course, non-Polish members' opinions. :)

Polonised Balts? Germanics? or Sarmo-Sycthians?

IMO, I'd imagine that while they are certainly linguistically related to Balkan Slavs, the plurality of their DNA is in fact Baltic in origin, with sizeable Germanic and Slavic admixture, and perhaps some Finnic in the East as well.

History / Was Prussia mostly German? [65]

Was Prussia ever mostly German or was it just a German ruling class eg Teutonic knights ruling over Balts, Poles and others(Tartars, Jews etc)?

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

Merged: Polish-Russian friendship

What do you think of the Polish-Russian friendship?

In Russian and Poles have much in common. Russian - the people closest genetically to the Poles.

History / Where do Upper and lower Silesians came from? [7]

Grzegorz_
Interesting, thanks. Much of upper Silesia is today mixed territory of Poles from East driven out of their ancestral homes from Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine, mixed together with local Germans, Poles and Silesians that were not driven out (authocthons) by Soviets. Am I correct?

I've heard somewhere that they resettled from Kresy in today's Belarus and Ukraine mixed with local Germans. Is it true? Please enlighten me if I am wrong.
