In the long history, there were many ethnicities all over the world, that had their own unique way of life, culture, and history. However, some of these ethnicities sadly died out. Due to warfare, disease, or assimilation into another culture.
But this doesn't mean that they're gone. They still live on through their descendants that has their genetics in their DNA or through the artifacts and culture they left.
But if you were able to choose one ethnic group, to survive to this way, with some of their people, being full genetically from the past, and their culture somewhat preserved, who would it be?
Here are some of the options through a specific POD, which one?
Sidenote: I know that some of these ethnic groups does live on through DNA and Genetics, like the Taino through their descendants in the Caribbean. But what we're here to talk about hypotheticals, about certain ethnic groups living as a distinct ethnicity.
Also, I was initially about to put the Moors in the list, but really couldn't decide, so if you want to put it, put it on "Other". Also, groups included in "Other" would be Ancient ethnic groups, such as the Huns.
