This article examines and analyzes the problem of the emergence, formation, and features of the development of the Moldo-Wallachian substrate during the Early Middle Ages — until the beginning of the formation of state entities, which were later called Danube Principalities. The problem is highlighted at the level of civilization and anthropological characteristics, reflected in the Romanian historiography of the 20th century and presented by many well-known researchers. Special attention is paid to the debatable aspects of the ethnic identification of the population of the Carpathian-Danube region during the Great Migration, examined through the prism of methodological approaches, conceptual statements and interpretative perspectives.

Keywords: Romania, 20th century, ethnogenesis, Carpathian-Danube region, migration processes, Romanian historiography, Moldo-Wallachian substrate, Romanian historians
