What happened to them? Is there any Germanic DNA in the North African population today?

No shit. But do any Vandal descendants still live in North Africa? Any random villages with blue eyes and blond hair, and ancient customs that can be traced back to before Islam?

What happened to them? Were they exterminated? Did they interbreed with the local mud people?

I believe many were deported, then another large portion were incorporated into the eastern empire's military. the rest were reabsorbed into the berber and other indigenous pops

According to historian Richard Miles, North Africa hosted "many of the most innovative writers and natural scientists" of the late Latin-speaking Western Roman Empire.[4]

Yeah but is he extending late antique beyond 476, through the Vandal kingdom and the eastern Roman reconquest, and is he including Egypt/alexandria? I think Augustine was pre-vandal. Who were some of the north african important natural scientists outside alexandria after the vandals? I'm sure there are some but not any coming to me off the top of my head

You have to lean Latin to read their texts. None of them have been translated

I did get up to an intermediate reading level, but I haven't read anything for years so I suck now, and definitely was never good enough to read something that hasn't been translated and with no annotated guide, especially sight read. Probably easier now that AI exists. This is literally one of the best use cases for AI is translating from one language to another. It isn't even just that it can translate, but that this is an easy straightforward task for it and it can translate to whatever register or level of literalism you want and explain whichever parts you want.
