The origins of the Romanians is controversial, because Romanian intellectuals created and kept alive the as yet unproven Daco-Roman origin and continuity theory, https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Origin_of_the_Romanians.html Schramm, Gottfried (Germany): 1.) ”Ein Damm bricht.

The latest nomad nation of Europe
VLACHS (Romanians) : THE LATEST NOMADIC ETHNIC GROUP IN EUROPE The vast majority of Romanian population preserved its nomadic lifestyle and heritage until the end of 16th century.

It clearly shows the urheimat / geographic origin of these people.
