Does anyone know what happened to the original people of Poland? I.e. the article explains that almost the entire pre-existing population of Poland was replaced by Slavs around the 5th/6th century, but not through war or conquest. So where did all the people go, and why?

- keiferski 1y ago"Original" depends on what time period you're referring to, because the people before the Slavs weren't there for that long themselves. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations But in reference to the Slavic migrations, I think they likely headed west and south: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period
- ivan_gammel 1y agoI don't know if it is connected, but 6th century is when the plague of Justinian happened and it spread to Northern Europe too. In 536 there was a volcanic winter, one of the worst climate-impacting events in documented history that started an ice age. Was a pretty tough time to survive in general.
