Neither. Germany or more properly the German people are of Teutonic descent. This Teutonic branch was native to northern Europe and encompassed the Germans, Dutch, Britons and Scandinavians,
The Germans do not descend from the Teutons. In English the term Teutonic is sometimes used to indicate the Germanic peoples. This does not mean that they descend from the Teutons.
The Germans belong to the Germanics. This term refers to the peoples who belong to the Germanic language group which comprises German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian and English.
The Teutons were just one of these Germanic peoples. They were original from Denmark and together in the Cimbri they attacked the Romans in the 2nd century BC. They were routed by the Romans who set the handing over of 300 women as slaves as part of the conditions of surrender. These women committed suicide. After this, there is no historical record of the Teutons. The term Teutonic was also used by Latin writers in the 10th century to indicate the kingdom of East Francia.
Germanic peoples who lived in Germany in late antiquity were the: Ripuarian Franks, Alemanni, Saxons, Angles, Thuringians, Marcomanni, Quadi and Rugians. Thus, the Germans descend from quite a number of Germanic peoples.
