I don't know of anyone who thought that Irish heritage, DNA or ancestry began with the Celts. Perhaps, it might be a common assumption abroad but not here in Ireland. We can see evidence of pre-Celtic settlements all over Ireland.
Celtic is a modern term and is used to distinguish where there is still a legacy of Celtic languages and culture but we use it knowing the “Celts” are mixed peoples.
I agree they tend to confuse things like looks origins ethnicity culture and religion for political reasons . Every nation is a result of a different history a different geography a different mix over a different timescale. the Irish DNA shows that there were at least five different ethnic groups of hunter gatherers in Ireland, they were here before the Ibero Celtic cultures and the descendants of the Anatolian culture arrived in Ireland. the Anatolian culture women had children fathered by Irish hunter gatherers. which was unusual in that culture, also DNA shows that we have links modern basque that goes way back. We gave an amazing history and culture we should cherish it and delve into it more

The whole Celtic invasion theory has been long debunked, the Celtic tribes of Britain and Ireland stem from the migration of the Bell Beaker people around 4500 years ago, a genetic marker known as L21 was found in ancient remains close to Stonehenge dating from 4500 years ago, this same marker is found in ancient Irish and Scottish remains from over 4000 years ago, practically all Celtic Clans carry this marker including both Brythonic Celts from Wales, Cornwall and Brittany and the Gaelic Celts from Ireland Scotland and the Isle of Man, none of this is subject to speculation because vast amounts of testing of current day Celts and ancient Remains has CONFIRMED THIS !!!
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 Of course, this L21 is around 5000 years old and spawned numerous different ancient subclades which became various tribes, an example of this is the subclade DF21 which is probably 4500 years old or older, the ancient remains found in the Irish pub car park on Rathlin Island in this video carried this DF21 marker and two of these remains even tested for different sub groups of DF21
An example of this are the remains known as Rathlin 2 which contained a marker known as S5488 and this marker was also found in ancient remains in Covesea in Scotland dating from 4000 years ago and also in ancient remains from the West of Ireland that date back to 4300 years ago, this S5488 in turn spawned numerous Irish and Scottish branches or tribes, I could keep giving examples of this for hours but you get the point, THERE WAS NO CELTIC INVASION OF IRELAND FROM EUROPE, the only movements of these various Celtic tribes was between the Celtic Isles of Britain and Ireland with the possibility of an outward expansion into mainland Europe into the Halstatte and La Tene regions, indeed one of the main sources of this Celtic invasion of Ireland theory was a specific type of sword that was found in both Ireland and La Tene in Switzerland dating from the Iron Age, this sword was touted as proof that Ireland was settled by Celts from this region however the subsequent discovery of the same specific type of sword design in Ireland DATING FROM THE BRONZE AGE completely debunked this theory and opened up the possibility of an outward expansion into Europe of Irish and British Celts, there are many who wish this not to be so but the DNA proof is ironclad, THE CELTIC TRIBES STEM FROM THE L21 ANCESTOR, the origin of which were the ancient Bell Beaker people who most likely originated in the Steppes of Russia !!!
So interesting .. I’m from Ireland , my DNA came back 98percent Celtic and 2 percent Scandinavian.. my mum came back 96 percent Celtic and the rest Finland .. so vikings as you suggested .

Understand your feeling when you landed, you were home, that's what that was. Ireland and it's culture has such a powerful emotional pull on it's people, even those whose ancestors were born here and yet they themselves have never been here. You feel it when you listen to traditional Irish music especially even if you haven't been brought up listening to that type of music, the first time you hear it something stirs in your soul, I believe it's ancient memories passed down through the gene pool. Maybe people born on islands feel the emotional thing more than say e.g., someone born in the middle of Europe or any large land mass, Not sure, just a thought.
Yes, on the Isle of Skye and looking out over the sea, and Old Long Abandoned stone huts, as the sun reached the sea, and lighting up small patches of shore, felt like my heart would burst, and tears filled my eyes, like I had been gone for a very long time and finally was home...
I do have a lot of Irish and Scottish ancestry on both sides of my family. My grandmother used to sing me Irish songs when I was a child. She had the most beautiful voice but it was very soft and melodic. her favorite song was Danny boy. I miss her so much!
My Dad had a beautiful voice, as well, and sang Danny boy to us. He would sit us down on the sofa and teach us songs, like Danny Boy and The Bells of St. Mary.
My Irish father looked like the Anatolian settlers. On the other hand, my appearance is clearly from Viking genetics. This is a great video and explains much.
My clan is from Ireland, county Meath old Castle near Ancient sacred Ground., Was so happy to be found in my middle age by Cousins from my grandfather’s farm…Wish I lived there now in my old age.

its the yamnaya people, or bell beaker. However AI says that these people didn't impact Irish dna at all only English. AI says that technology affected the dna.
I'm from South Africa. And I love learning about Ancient European History and where we all come from. My Irish ancestry is on my father's side, my great great grandparents were Charles William Malone and Mary Ann Kavanagh from Waterford.

I proudly admit to my Irish (and other) DNA. Mom was a Scallions and a Kendall. My grand parents were first generation Irish Americans. Dad was a Scots-Irish-English mix. In the total mix is a little German, Scandinavian and others. I think the Irish history is most interesting to me.

As to labeling them 'Yank', if this person is an American they could be Southern where that's a serious insult.
The maternal side of my family has Irish, British and Viking ancestry, as well as other genetic ancestry from the Netherlands. The most interesting new information was that Anatolians migrated about 2,000 BC from what is now Turkey. I would enjoy more videos like this one. Thanks.
I'm an American of Irish, Scottish and Welsh ancestry, and I know that their is more information that could've been added from the Bell Beaker culture, but I am generally satisfied with this presentation.

I'm Scot-Irish, Welsh & German. My sister did a dna test showing our bloodline ran through European and Middle Eastern regions. It makes sense after watching your presentation. I love my heritage and its history. Ill be using your videos in our homeschool curriculum for World History
Every Europeans bloodline originated in the middle east and Eurasia. Thats how the indigenous Europeans living there today, arrived. However that comes from waves of people arriving from the east over thousands of years. Any DNA tests today showing Middle Eastern results means that your recent ancestors come from the Middle East.
@@Pittbrain The only ice bridge that would have existed would have been one crossing from what is today Britain to Ireland. But that would far too far north for people to have travelled, into incredibly inhospitable area, of nothing but ice and glaciers, to reach Ireland. Which would have mostly covered in miles thick ice. Except for a small section in the south. Also there have been no bodies, objects or any other evidence of humans been found before 8000BCE. That is the time just after the last age ended.

I'm an adoptee and I have no other info but DNA, I've been testing since 2015 and found 1st and 2nd cousins so far. On one side I have Norwegian and that side is Irish other is Dutch. I always presumed the Dutch part was probably the Norwegian mix but after hearing about the Irish coastal being inhabited by Norse, and my research so far is that my Irish ancestros are from coastal area, perhaps the Norwegian is from Irland. I thought I exhausted every aspect of my genealogy DNA tree but now I'm understanding why my Irish side of the family and it's DNA result. Thank you for this vid!
What I found most surprising was the Anatolian connection and the fact that Normans were of Viking descent and just lived in France - I thought they were french. My 59th great grandfather is Iar mac Setnai born about 0160 AD in what became known as the Kingdom of Osraige in Ireland which conforms to my DNA results. I don't know how to go further back than that but would love to learn how someday! thank you for a most interesting video!
Nor-Man, North-Man. They were Norwegian Vikings. The French (Frankish) gave them the land, which became known as Normandy for 2 reasons. 1, so they'd stop raiding. 2, so they would protect them from other Viking raiders of the time. They became a part of French society, but weren't genetically Frankish.
@@stevenhoskins7850 That's nonsense -the Norse and Franks mixed and became ethnic Normans. The idea that the Norse didn't mix with the local Frankish population is bs.

The Vikings occupied Limerick for a significant period of time and began around 845 AD. The Vikings destroyed the Irish records when they left. There is also a longship monument at Limerick.
"The first people arrived in Ireland about 9,000 years ago (around 7000 BC). We now call them Stone Age people because they used stone tools for their farm work and for hunting. We know about these early settlers in Ireland because many of their tools and weapons survived and have been found by archaeologists"
@@natureocean9466 Really? Hmm you must follow the biblical version of human and Earthen geographic/geological history. Why are you even looking at this stuff?
My dad was the oldest living male descendant of a line of Irishmen. Now my brother is the oldest in this lineage. We do have Norwegian via Viking ancestry. I was most surprised by the Turkey ancestry statement. So interesting.
The early Irish were not "from the Middle East." They were the descendants of Middle Easterners who had moved into Europe 2,000 years earlier. After 2,000 years, a person certainly qualifies as "European."
In terms of the British Isles and Ireland I think they use the term Anatolian to distinguish Neolithic settlers from the subsequent wave of Steppe peoples that arrived afterwards. Genetics seems to indicate that the Neolithic farmers were darker skinned, with predominately brown eyes. It is interesting to note that this video talks about gentle assimilation, whereas in Britain it is generally believed that the Anatolian farmers were subjugated, and then essentially wiped out. Most Europeans are a mix of majority Steppe ancestry, with a very small amount of Neolithic farmer DNA, and an even smaller amount of the original Hunter Gatherer gene pool. The video simplifies the idea of a "Celtic" migration too. It is currently believed that the Celtic languages spread from the West, rather than the East, whereas Celtic artistic motifs, developed in central Europe and spread westward.
Dionysios of Halikarnassos calls the ancestors of the Irish people "Pelasgians" and they in fact originated in India but were expelled because of religious reasons after their defeat. They then settled in western Asia and populated Europe according to the ancient texts.

My great great grandparents on my mother’s side came from Dublin and were Scottish/Irish (him) and German (her). They came to America in 1848 during the potato famine. Maybe the Viking in me led me to join the US Navy😊.
@@johnpatrick5307 My Dad had a good amount in him, 19.7%. He was always proud to have German in him, but when tested, none, but we did find Scandinavian, which he never knew. He was tested in a nursing home when he had dementia. It would have probably broken his heart if he found out he had no German in him. I never knew why.
My Dad was 55.7% Irish, Scots, Welsh, 21.6% English; 19.7% Scandinavian, 2% East European, 1% West Asian; Mom is French and Irish as far as we know. We have not done a genetics test on her. We celebrated our Irish heritage by having tap dancing lessons and celebrating St Patrick's Day with friends and family. Boiled ham, cabbage and potatoes come to mind. I wondered where the Ashkenazi Jew came from and now I know. Thx. Very interesting. My great cousin was Joseph Mary Plunkett, who strategized the 1916 Easter Uprising, was married to Grace in prison and executed the same day. Sad. I have a book of his poems.
My Mother was Irish. I had my DNA done 10years ago where it showed I had Scandinavian, German, French DNA and 1% Native American. Later they changed it to 99% European. I have lots of cousins through this site.
In my DNA, it says I'm 1/3 Irish. I was drawn to learning Irish folk music, on violin. Recently, after 40 years, I started learning Turkish, classical music. I thought it strange, because those countries and cultures, are so different. Now, I've learned there is an historical connection. It motivates me to learn Turkish music, it will help, from a psychological perspective.
The Turks did not arrive in “turkey”Anatolia, until 500+ years ago. They are not native to that area. So if you’re saying you feel Turkish it’s not from this ancient migration that the video explained of these people making their way to Ireland. Those people were not Turkish ever.
You are completely wrong. The Turkish speaking people of contemporary Anatolia is direct descendants of the ancient Anatolian farmers. Get rid of your prejudices. You are confusing the genetics with language. Actually the video explains exactly this misunderstanding. Lean some history and science... you are the person like from late 18th century nationalist...
@@KennyGolden-n8e but the Turkish language is from the Turks, not Native to Anatolia. That’s my point, there is no connection between Irish folk music and the Turkish language. I am not the one completely wrong, it’s your logic that needs a little work there.
The connection with Ireland Turkey is very tenuous. At one time Celtic culture spread from Ireland to Anatolia. It doesnt mean the people were related. Infact Celtic is a cultural definition. The Anatolian Celts cease to exist in the 4th century CE. As they were absorbed by the Greek and then Roman empires. The music of Turkey is probably more influenced by later invasions of other cultures.
Lots of Scottish and Irish blood in The States. Our Irish forefathers caught hell when they came over and now we catch hell from Irish (Not all, but too often) sayin they don't claim us.
I found this video very interesting and might explain why my DNA is compromised of 4.30 Eastern European, 0.8 Middle Eastern and 94.9% Irish Scottish and Welsh. My mum came from the middle of Donegal and my dad from the middle of Tyrone. Your video sort of explains my makeup of genetics now thank you and may your friend rest in peace and I thank him for his hard work.
The dna test should tell you to ignore anything under 5% unless you know of a genetic link. The Irish have something called Yamnaya dna that is European but also found in the middle east. Its a false positive.
Your family obviously fled the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Cromwell's forces wiped out at least 40% of the entire population of Ireland between 1649-1653
Good chance they were early Americans not Canadian then. During the revolutionary War the northern most American colonies refused to send help so the continental congress excluded them and turned over those settlements after the war. Somebody on here probably knows a lot more than I do.
My Irish dna results showed all of this.I was surprised but also amazed about the whole journey I saw in the results.it just shows we are not completely who we think we are.I love this video it’s so honest and eye opening.
It's really amazing what DNA can tell us about our past. When I got my DNA, the recent ancestry didn't particularly surprise me, but the ancient and archaic ancestry sure did! I am definitely not who I thought I was.

Excellent video. As an American whose Irish ancestors migrated from County Clare in 1784, I watch many of these; this is the best I have seen. As I understand it the "Highland Scots" were primarily Irish immigrants from around the time of St. Patrick- approximately 400 AD (correct my understanding, if wrong). The Picts were already in Scotland and had been battling the Romans. How does the history of the Picts fit in?
Evidently, the Picts stayed in Scotland; it was the Scottis who went from eastern Ireland to the west of Scotland, primarily Iona and inland from there. They eventually joined up with the Picts to make modern Scotland, and the Gaelic spoken in Scotland is similar enough to Irish Gaelic that they can be mutually understood. The Pictish language must have been subsumed for the most part.
@exxzxxe you understand wrong then.....any movements of peoples was from scotland to ireland. aas archaeological evidence shows. the irish coming to scotland is a mythical made up tale...it's written and pronounced gallic in scotland. the gauls were always at war with the romans there so they fled to england. when the romans invaded england they then fled to and settled in scotland. type in.......the irish and scots as revealed by their dna - you tube.......
3 of my grandparents are irish; sometimes I am mistaken for spanish, even Middle eastern at times and yet my surname is Norwegian meaning Shiny Metal glittering. I I have a hand condition known as duchennes atrophy - its only found in people ofViking descent. So its amazing really.

Clannaboy O’Neills, Tyrone O’Neills, O’Neills of the Fews, and McShanes: These families represent branches of the O’Neill dynasty that have maintained their identity over centuries. Each branch has its own unique history but shares a common ancestor in Áed in Macáem Tóinlesc through their descent from R-Z1513. R-DF27 & R-Z1513 Overview of R-DF27 and R-Z1513 Haplogroup R-DF27 is a subclade of the larger haplogroup R1b, which is one of the most common Y-DNA haplogroups in Europe. This haplogroup is particularly prevalent in Western Europe, especially among populations in Ireland and Britain. The DF27 subclade itself has several downstream branches, one of which is R-Z1513. R-Z1513 is a further subclade under R-DF27. It represents a specific lineage that can be traced through paternal ancestry. Individuals who belong to this haplogroup share a common ancestor along their paternal line, which can be useful for genealogical research and understanding population migrations. Geographical Distribution The geographical distribution of R-DF27 and its subclades, including R-Z1513, indicates a strong presence in regions such as Ireland, Scotland, and parts of England. The surnames associated with this haplogroup often reflect this distribution; for example, surnames like O’Neill, McShane, and Bryan are linked to individuals who have tested positive for Z1513. Genetic Characteristics The genetic characteristics of these haplogroups are determined by specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). For instance, individuals belonging to the Z1513 haplogroup may also exhibit other SNP markers such as BY3292 or BY57572. These markers help define the lineage more precisely and can indicate splits within the haplotree. Historical Context The emergence of these haplogroups dates back to ancient populations in Europe. The introduction of R-DF27 into the gene pool coincides with significant historical events such as migrations during the Bronze Age. The Bell Beaker culture is often associated with the spread of this lineage across Britain and Ireland. Genealogical Implications For individuals testing positive for either R-DF27 or R-Z1513, there are opportunities for genealogical connections through platforms that facilitate Y-DNA testing. Users can share family trees and connect with others who share similar genetic backgrounds. This collaborative approach can lead to discovering new relatives or merging duplicate profiles within genealogical databases. In summary, R-DF27 is a significant Y-DNA haplogroup prevalent in Western Europe, particularly among Irish and British populations. R-Z1513 serves as a subclade under DF27, representing specific paternal lineages that can aid in genealogical research. Sources Used: 1.

I would quibble with the idea that the Balanahatty people whose remains are related to people of Spain and Sardinia arrived “probably from Britain.” It makes sense that they immigrated to Ireland direct from Spain. / Portugal. The Irish sea between the two coasts has ferocious tidal races so fierce between the Antrim and Argyll/Clyde coasts that it scours mountains of gravel around the seabeds. So anyhow they got there, these people were ALREADY good mariners. It doesn’t really make sense to have them descended from generations or centuries of inland British farmers. The SEA was the highway. You could travel further in a day than in a week by land; and a few people could transport tens of tons of goods. Land travel was pathetic in comparison. Take a look at the northern Spanish / Portuguese coast, and follow the line of longitude directly north. You can make a journey due north, a lot of it within sight of land and, allowing for a couple of degrees of drift both east or west, you hit the south coast of Ireland. If you miss it eastward, you’ll be going up between the Irish east and English west coast, or you’ll hit the south coast of England. If you miss to the west, you are still likely to be driven to the Irish west coast by the prevailing wind. Coping with the winds and seas between Ireland & Britain, for colonists, is actually trickier than setting off from somewhere like the Santa Comba coast, then heading directly north. A coast-hugging, island-hopping alternative is to carry on north till about Brest, stop in at Cornwall, and from there to Cork. Almost certainly anyone getting lost off the English south coast is going to discover Ireland - continental people would have been as much aware of the one as the other from their earliest maritime explorations.
Agree with you, there are also the stories, like that of Milesius, and no smoke without a fire. I would call the people migrants rather than colonists, because of the connotations. From all evidence they entered with peaceful, respectful co-habitation rather than to impose and impoverish.
@@eh1702 I know people eo used wind sails to travel from the basque country to Ireland they had a few pints in a Ghaeltacht pub listened to a great trad seisiún and came back the next day
This is wrong unfortunately. If the Irish are similar to Anatolian farmers why do they cluster so far away from Sardinians who are the closest genetically to these Neolithic farmers ? Because the steppe- derived Beaker folk largely replaced these farmers in Ireland in the Bronze Age . The modern Irish are very similar to Bronze Age Irish , not Neolithic farmers .This has been understood for many years now. I don't understand how or why this fundamental and well known fact - in the genetics community- has been missed by the History Hub.

I wish someone would do a video sometime, of the Irish Diaspora, worldwide. My last name is Conway, and I am a Canadian, Newfoundlander, of Irish descent, almost, certainly. My immediate family has lived in Newfoundland some 200 years now, but from everything I've been able to piece together so far, we originated from Ireland. I believe we are of older Irish stock, and it is very sad to know that our Family/Clan name seems to be dying out in Ireland, but we continue to exist in many parts of North America, Australia, so I gather, and many parts of Britain, as well. Maybe elsewhere, but these are the areas I am aware of. My Best. Out.
@@LindaCByrne73 : Well, that's nice to know Darling. I have not had an easy job at all, researching Conways in Ireland, thus have assumed the clan was dying out there. I wish I could find out the origin of the clan though, as I know there are Conways in Wales too, and the name goes back quite a ways there, also, but I continue to assume and hope it originates in Ireland. I know the original Irish/Celtic versions go back well over a thousand years, and split off into three different clans with similar last names, thus making it that much harder to figure out which one that I, myself, may have descended from. I live in Newfoundland, Canada, myself, and our family has been here, now, some six to seven generations as best we can figure, so we go back a couple hundred years here, and before that, the oral tradition has been that we come from Britain, which I guess, means Wales, but it's confusing given what was going on in that area, in those times, and why my clan, my branch of our clan anyway, were forced to leave to begin with. Sadly, I have not been able to go beyond two hundred years with any amount of reliability, which has been hugely, frustrating for me, and speaks to all of us across the Irish Diaspora, worldwide, who suspect they are descended from people who were forced to leave Ireland, but have difficulty proving that. All I know so far, is that Conway is almost, certainly Irish in origin, and represents one of the more ancient Clan names in that nation, going back a thousand years at least, and maybe even, more. I'm saddened that there are no organizations in Ireland, seeking to reclaim the history of all the lost clans of that land, and that it is left up to the clan itself, to find out whatever it can about the origins of each, particular, clan; as this goes back to the collective history of the nation and people overall, really. I mean, it's not bigotry at all, to rediscover what make the Irish, Irish, to begin with. Correct? With this new wave of immigration taking over all our lands, I think more and more of us are thinking about that now. Warmest Wishes. Out For Now.
There are lots of Conways in Quebec City, suburb called Valcartier Village, mainly from Queen's Co. Ireland in early 1800s, after the war of 1798, when many left, long before the famine years. The Irish here date back to the late 1700s.
@@ritabrownen402 : Hey, yes, thanks so much, Rita, much appreciate the information. Yes, I am aware that French Canada took in many Irish after the war with England. Did not know many within the Conway Clan were amoung them but I guess, I should not be surprised. This time frame matches up pretty much, with the Conways who settled here, in Newfoundland, as well, and indeed, throughout much of the rest of the world, as well. I only, made that post to begin with, because I hear so many Irish names when I check out the history of Ireland, particularly, the more recent history, but Conway is never mentioned, and clearly, we exist, and it is almost, certain we originate in Ireland. This has always, bugged me somewhat, in trying to get a better understanding of my origins, as well. Warmest Wishes. Out For Now. 🙂👋🏼
I really like your video thanks! I have Irish genetic ancestry as well as welsh. I had read somewhere before of possible Viking Integration. In Irish genetics. My last name Guest comes from my Irish ancestor. In the 1800s he traveled to Ellis Island. He was an immigrant to the United States. His last name was actually Guess initially and then changed to Guest. I've heard. Maybe because he was visiting from the land of another? I have heard also that with my skin tone and hair color I could pass as a Spaniard. Interesting video! 😲🤔😁
@@thisbushnell2012 That would be worthy of a paper, if such a thing were true. Also, humans would probably not need to take aspirin if that were the case.
Literally none of this is surprising to anyone with a basic understanding of irish history/mythology. As someone above said look at the Lebor Gabala Eireann
It’s not surprising, no. But the fantastical histories filtered down to us through Christianised sources have a load of overlaid gobbledygook as well: nine of it is worth a bean as history without some hard facts to contextualise and assess it. And this is what this archeological, DNA and isotope analysis does.
@@eh1702 I understand what you're saying. However, it's interesting that the DNA evidence supports what those monks were writing over a thousand years ago. Which in turn means that it's clearly not just Christian goobledygook and should be viewed much more seriously.
@@tom79013exactly from the glacials retreat to the mapping of the island The arrivals the conflicts the treaties etc etc don't let anyone thrash our mythologised memory history. it's not leprechaun gobbledygook. It's part of our living heritage. I'm a little tired of colonialist agendas claiming what was never understood by them or from them
@@preacaininternational5637 Sách ráite! Well said. Irish archaeology was moslty done by Brits! They thought the ancient britons or africans or anyone but the Irish built Newgrange for example after it was discovered...
@@eh1702This may be the case in terms of the later history but not in terms of the migration to Ireland in the beginning. This is already confirmed by the report of the ancient Greek historian Dionysios of Halikarnassos. But the Irish tradition connects the colonisation of Ireland with the defeat of the Tuatha de Danan and this is also told in the Indian tradition. The Tuatha de Danan are said to have been offspring of the goddess Danu, a river goddess already mentioned in the Rigveda. This now mostly sunken river Danu is called "Eridanus" by the Greeks and separated Europe from Hyperborea (meaning Ireland, Great Britain, Schleswig-Holstein, Skandinavia and Island). The Indians call the Tuatha de Danan "Danavas" and also say that they were offspring of the goddess Danu. One Episode of the war told in the Mahabharata was the attack of Krishna's capitol Dvaraka by a Danava king named "Salwa" from the air while Krishna was not there. When he came back and heard what had happened he decided to attack the Danavas and to destroy them. In this connection is said that the Danavas lived to the north of India on an island in the sea. Though the Irish tradition doesn't mention the name of Krishna (which can be explained because they had no direct contact) it seems very likely that both traditions refer to the same event.
i am originally from Haiti in the Caribbean--a predominantly Black country--but was surprised to discover an Irish ancestor. He arrived there in the early 1800s, shortly after we gained our independence from France. I don't know what brought him there, but he stayed, married a local girl, and he is my great-grandfather's grandfather. He came with two brothers, too and they also stayed and created families. So, yes, Black Kavanaugh here. :) -
I'm Scottish, born to Scots parents, but I don't have any Scottish in my DNA. My profile states I am 55% Irish, 25% Scandinavian and a few bits from the Iberian Peninsula and North Russia. Fascinating! I have pale skin, which burns easily in the sun, whereas my sister has an olive complexion and tans easily. Pity, as I now live in Australia and must use a high skin factor cream in the hotter climate. When my first grandchild was born, she had that glorious golden skin colouring which I believed must have come via my sister's profile, thus being eminently suitable for the Australian climate. Ha ha! She was jaundiced and after a few days under a lamp, turned into pure white Irish type skin necessitating care in the sun. Our family can't account for my sister's beautiful, darker skin. Maybe a throwback to the Anatolian aspect of her DNA?
@@AlanThomas-hp3fn don't be rediculous more likely if they have some Irish blood you can have red heads and dark in the same family. Son in law is one of the three redheads and his brother is the dark haired (black Irish) facial all out of the same pod.
My brother and I have very different skin tones. He is pale and Rudy. I seem to have thicker skin, and I don't burn easily. Amazing variations in families.
If you love to live long enough to see the babies grow up in your family, stop using high factor sunscreen on your white skin. Please check what's in it, it's poisonous.Your body absorbs this and in due time it'll damage your health. Better use coconut oil, covering the skin on midday. 15 min.in the sun with the forehead is sufficient for the needed dose of Vit.D Better expose white skin to the sun for short periods of time. It'll build up resilience with time. 👋👩🌾
It didn't surprise me tbh because it's well documented in our mythology of pre Celtic inhabitants of Ireland coming from the direction of Greece so I always thought Anatolia was a possibility. Personally I believe a lot of mythology is developed from oral history and has truths amidst the embellishments. There's certainly many clues worth exploring. It's so exciting to use DNA to learn about the past!
My prayers are with Sean Moody and his family 🙏🏼 I have Irish ancestry and still have family there that I have a strong connection with. I had my DNA done I am mostly Irish Scottish Welsh then English and the Scandinavian
I was born in Belfast as were my family. My DNA result was 92.1% Irish Scottish and Welsh, 5.7% East European and 2.2% Central Asian. I had black hair hazel eyes and very white skin also 5’6” tall.
Thank you for the video very interesting. I do claim Irish ancestry, I am about 20 percent Irish. My ancestors that I know of were from Donegal, Mayo and Munster
Noah’s son Japheth’s family migrated west through the Turkish area and on to Europe. Ham’s son Canaan went down through Israel to Egypt and Africa. Shem’s family stayed in Babylon until God called Abraham out.
That's false . Why would they go south to Southern Africa ? Nothing there . Culture was way different. It took thousands of years to accept Sub-Saharan Africans .so why go there even bacl then 🤔
not actual reliable sorce - the Bible.... better to get new knowedge from recent ancient DNA studies. And remember that it nead women to get new people on the planet. Mostry forgotten i bibels and other religios stories
I'm a Heinz 57 American, Russian and Polish on Dad's side, and English, Dutch, French, German, Welsh and maybe Irish on my Mom"s. I thought the Anatolia piece was very interesting. Just goes to show we're all a blend or melting pot of many influences. Yet people continue to be divided on the basis of nationality or ideology.
After seeing a lot of confused comments written here, I thought I should mention, that all Europeans are descended from the waves and migrations of people who originally came from the middle east ( farmers ) and those who came from Eurasia ( Yamanaya herders/ nomads ).This started about 7000 years ago. The proportion of these two peoples, in each country varies. Ireland is not any different than other European countries, in having people whose ancestors, originated partly from the middle east, a very long time ago. They are not directly related to people living in the middle east now. The original farmers that had arrived about 7000 years ago, seemed to have been replaced by further waves of immigration. There is only a tiny amount of their DNA found in modern Irish people. Irish people today are not related to people living in Anatolia, Turkey. The Celtic culture once extended from right across parts of Europe from Ireland to Anatolia in Turkey. Though Celtic is a culture, not an ethnic group. The Celts of Anatolia ceased to exist in the 4th century , when they were absorbed by the Greek, then Roman empires. They were also replaced by other people moving into that area, after this.
This explains the Persian haplogroup result I received on a DNA test once. Could. It figure that out but loved it due to the exquisite history and ancient knowledge that comes from the region.
What this illistrates is that the celtic people were in northern europe and Ireland for a long period of time, their origins, it seems are mere speculation.
There isn’t a “Celtic people”. Many different genetic lineages / continental tribes from Spain to Anatolia adopted Celtic languages. With and without the visual culture we in western Europe think of as Celtic. Ireland was quite a late adopter (and adapter) of those late bronze age/Iron Age Hallstatt and La Tène visual themes. As this video points out, Irish genetics shows surprisingly light genetic influence from the continent in that period compared to the significant influence on material culture. It is still far from certain whether it subtantially changed the languages of the islands or if insular languages already were related to the languages of those regions. (The word Celtic in its modern usage was coined to label the language family.) The Irish as a genetic population were substantially already there when Celtic material/visual culture arrived, as this video makes clear, and is surprisingly little changed through that whole “Celtic” period: and the next substantial genetic influence was Viking.
@@eh1702 There is a Celtic people, the language is from the vedic root same as Hindu. The Irish Scottish Manx Welsh Cornish and Breton are all Celtic peoples and DNA confirms it. You are out of date with your information. There remains P Celtic and Q Celtic languages, Irish Scottish and Manx are Q Celtic and Welsh Cornish and Breton are P Celtic. (Many references in Celtic History and referenced in the Dictionary of Celtic Mythology - Oxford University Press published).
Very Enjoyable and informative video. I am Irish, from Lisdoonvarna, County Clare, family Name is O’Loughlin mainly based in north County Clare in the Burren Region spanning to Corcomroe Abbey in North Clare., my mothers family name is Danaher originally from East Limerick.
Connacht shares (90% of people here) share DNA with the ancient Basques so it is not most likely we cam through Britain... in fact it is more probable that it came by the Western seaboard. The Irish brought the Gaelic language to Scotland 2000 years ago at least... The Celtic arrivals came in different stages to Britain and to Ireland of. course with the P (Welsh/Cornish) and the Gaelic (Irish/Scottish/Manx) having different if complimentary paths. We love our Celtic brothers and are more like them in spirit than anyone else. Look to An Lebo Gabala (Leabhar Gabhála...Book of Invasions) it is stunningly accurate regarding who came here. The history is in the oft ignored languages...no international scholars of archaeology paid much attention to what we actually wrote ourselves about ourselves of course... thanks to English invasion etc...
That's obviously old and outdated. Modern dna studies show all Irish are closely related so whether you are from Connacht of Leinster all Irish cluster together. Irish share most of their dna with neighbouring populations and are distant to Basque populations. The closest populations to Basque are also their neighbours i.e. the Southern French and Spanish. In fact of all British Isles populations Irish are the most distant out of the English, Welsh and Scots who also don't share any special relationship with populations like the Basque.
Basques, now is that where the term " black Irish " comes from? My grandmother was 100% Irish, had black hair and dark brown eyes, beautiful olive skin and I inherited her skin tone.
@@jackieblue1267There IS the fact that the Basques have more people with blood type A-Negative than any other location. Most interesting that A Negative is also found in those with red/blond hair & green/blue eyes, of Celtic lineage.
@@bbalance2086 Who exactly has A- negative blood of Celtic heritage? The Celts were in France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria etc. Even places like the Czech area was mostly Celtic before more Slavic and Germanic groups moved in. I doubt A- blood was a factor with the ancient Celts. Ancient Celts were more French like. Basques however are not a Celtic population.
Yes, my mother's father's family was from Langford & Leitrim. I expect they may have had Celtic or Nordic ancestry. That grandfather was a robust, strong man & Catholic with very vividly royal blue eyes. He had worked as a mason & could build anything from the ground up all by himself. He knew how to engineer structure. I find historical heritage fascinating. I'm surprised to learn Anatolians migrated west as far into ancient Ireland. Thank you for adding knowledge to my quest to learn all about my ancestry.
I'm disappointed and Irish person isn't here in this. Especially since they are finding some royalty there. I agree. They mention new grange but it was fleeting. I've been there.i can't say more.
Ireland is once again being invaded, this time from Muslim countries, now at about 2 million I think. It breaks my heart. My deceased husband was Irish and what a great man he was!
Who told you there were 2million Muslims in Ireland? 😅😅😅 That is HILLARIOUS! Wonder where they've hidden all the mosques...must go and look for them tomorrow!
OMG how do you think the Irish got around the World, when hardship hit starvation, oppression and colonial murders, our people had to leave. Why do you think the Muslim people would want to leave their home, they don't they are being forced out while the World stands by and lets atrocities happen again and again. We need to stand together.
I have scottish/irish from my maternal grandfather Thompson. I live in mid Michigan and there is a huge irish/scottish heritage around this state. I never realized it. My husband is a musician and plays in many bars and i see a lot of irish decor in these places.I Iive in town called Alma and we have a private college and there mascot is the Scots which is a giant red haired viking man, we also have a festival called the highland festival where they do games and such. They wear kilts and we have a local bar called brave heart's w some irish scottish decor. My husband is Danish but says hes a viking (past life)
I was born in Ireland but have been out of there for most of my life. It seems to me that the Celts were a generic Aryan people rather than a specific Central European group.
Both sides of my family originate in Ireland, they came here for work after the famine I'm Scottish and some of my family even started moving back . Its interesting finding out about your DNA and heritage.
Why do you tell us about DNA changes but don't give us the haplogroups so we can be more informed and do our comparison with our DNA and do more research?
When the Tuatha De Danann arrived in Ireland, approximately 1800BCE (way, way before Jesus walked the earth), there were other well established peoples in Ireland. So, this theory makes a lot of sense, given that fact. I have Irish, Viking and Dutch ancestry. My great grandfather left Ireland during the godawful Great Blight. My grandfather spoke Gaelic. And even though I was born in Zambia and raised in South Africa, my blood is as green as the Emerald Isle itself. That heritage runs deep within. May God protect Ireland always. 💚☘
It would be horrid if the world knew about the ancient origins of civilization starting in Ireland. You must only learn you come from an ape in Africa.
23@me told me that I am 60% Irish, with an additional 5% French, 5% German, and 5% English in my DNA. The rest must be some muddy water that could not be sifted through. This is an excellent show. Very informative. Thanks and Blessings to the makers ! And a Prayer for the soul of Sean Moody. May the music of his spirit play on forever !
I loved going to New grange. There are some Irish people who have distinct look, and certain Welsh and Scottish. I have the usual Scottish, Irish, English, Breton and a teeny bit Nordic ancestry but look like mum's side of the family, dark hair, eyes and skin colour, my Auntie Mona said we were 'Ancient Briton' ( Scottish and Breton) .
many Europeans, including the Irish, have genetic ancestry that can be traced back to Anatolian farmers. The spread of agriculture from Anatolia, into Europe around 8,000 years ago led to the mixing of these early farmers with indigenous hunter-gatherer populations in Europe. The migration and mixing introduced a significant amount of Anatolian farmer DNA into the European 🧬. for example Sardinians have one of the highest levels of Anatolian farmer ancestry in Europe
I have ancestry from Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. A persistent 1% of my DNA is "Sardinian". I think this video may explain where it came from though I don't think I can be sure it was through the Irish connections because the migration was not exclusively to Ireland. Thank you for the video!
I don't know of anyone who thought that Irish heritage, DNA or ancestry began with the Celts. Perhaps, it might be a common assumption abroad but not here in Ireland. We can see evidence of pre-Celtic settlements all over Ireland.
Celtic is a modern term and is used to distinguish where there is still a legacy of Celtic languages and culture but we use it knowing the “Celts” are mixed peoples.
I agree they tend to confuse things like looks origins ethnicity culture and religion for political reasons . Every nation is a result of a different history a different geography a different mix over a different timescale. the Irish DNA shows that there were at least five different ethnic groups of hunter gatherers in Ireland, they were here before the Ibero Celtic cultures and the descendants of the Anatolian culture arrived in Ireland. the Anatolian culture women had children fathered by Irish hunter gatherers. which was unusual in that culture, also DNA shows that we have links modern basque that goes way back. We gave an amazing history and culture we should cherish it and delve into it more

It has been common knowledge that Pre-Celtic peoples have been in Ireland and for way longer than suggested here.
The whole Celtic invasion theory has been long debunked, the Celtic tribes of Britain and Ireland stem from the migration of the Bell Beaker people around 4500 years ago, a genetic marker known as L21 was found in ancient remains close to Stonehenge dating from 4500 years ago, this same marker is found in ancient Irish and Scottish remains from over 4000 years ago, practically all Celtic Clans carry this marker including both Brythonic Celts from Wales, Cornwall and Brittany and the Gaelic Celts from Ireland Scotland and the Isle of Man, none of this is subject to speculation because vast amounts of testing of current day Celts and ancient Remains has CONFIRMED THIS !!!
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 Of course, this L21 is around 5000 years old and spawned numerous different ancient subclades which became various tribes, an example of this is the subclade DF21 which is probably 4500 years old or older, the ancient remains found in the Irish pub car park on Rathlin Island in this video carried this DF21 marker and two of these remains even tested for different sub groups of DF21
An example of this are the remains known as Rathlin 2 which contained a marker known as S5488 and this marker was also found in ancient remains in Covesea in Scotland dating from 4000 years ago and also in ancient remains from the West of Ireland that date back to 4300 years ago, this S5488 in turn spawned numerous Irish and Scottish branches or tribes, I could keep giving examples of this for hours but you get the point,
THERE WAS NO CELTIC INVASION OF IRELAND FROM EUROPE, the only movements of these various Celtic tribes was between the Celtic Isles of Britain and Ireland with the possibility of an outward expansion into mainland Europe into the Halstatte and La Tene regions, indeed one of the main sources of this Celtic invasion of Ireland theory was a specific type of sword that was found in both Ireland and La Tene in Switzerland dating from the Iron Age, this sword was touted as proof that Ireland was settled by Celts from this region however the subsequent discovery of the same specific type of sword design in Ireland DATING FROM THE BRONZE AGE completely debunked this theory and opened up the possibility of an outward expansion into Europe of Irish and British Celts, there are many who wish this not to be so but the DNA proof is ironclad, THE CELTIC TRIBES STEM FROM THE L21 ANCESTOR, the origin of which were the ancient Bell Beaker people who most likely originated in the Steppes of Russia !!!
So interesting .. I’m from Ireland , my DNA came back 98percent Celtic and 2 percent Scandinavian.. my mum came back 96 percent Celtic and the rest Finland .. so vikings as you suggested .
My husband from the south east of Ireland has a Normandy name “power” which is very common in the south east as you suggested …
Thank you for all this info
Ever heard of the fir bolg. They were there before the celts.
@@patrickporter1864 You do know that the Book of Invasions is a work of fiction or do you actually think this list of conquests of Ireland is real because there is no DNA evidence to back up any of this list with the exception of the Gaelic Sons of Mil,
The only two types of Y-DNA found in ancient remains in Ireland are I2a or Early Farmer and Proto Celtic R1b/L21 Bell Beaker, the Firbolg (Belly Men) may have been the Early Farmers but they were supposed to be defeated by the Tuatha De Danann who were then defeated by the Sons of Mil, the Tuatha De Danann are a mythical magical people who after their defeat became the Faery Folk of Myth and Legend, here is the list of conquests from the Book of Invasions
The conquest of Cesair, first, before the Flood

Understand your feeling when you landed, you were home, that's what that was. Ireland and it's culture has such a powerful emotional pull on it's people, even those whose ancestors were born here and yet they themselves have never been here. You feel it when you listen to traditional Irish music especially even if you haven't been brought up listening to that type of music, the first time you hear it something stirs in your soul, I believe it's ancient memories passed down through the gene pool. Maybe people born on islands feel the emotional thing more than say e.g., someone born in the middle of Europe or any large land mass, Not sure, just a thought.
Yes, on the Isle of Skye and looking out over the sea, and Old Long Abandoned stone huts, as the sun reached the sea, and lighting up small patches of shore, felt like my heart would burst, and tears filled my eyes, like I had been gone for a very long time and finally was home...

Every Europeans bloodline originated in the middle east and Eurasia. Thats how the indigenous Europeans living there today, arrived. However that comes from waves of people arriving from the east over thousands of years. Any DNA tests today showing Middle Eastern results means that your recent ancestors come from the Middle East.
Think about the ice age where ice stretched across northern Europe, the Atlantic, and into Northern America. Wouldn't that be an ice bridge?
@@Pittbrain The only ice bridge that would have existed would have been one crossing from what is today Britain to Ireland. But that would far too far north for people to have travelled, into incredibly inhospitable area, of nothing but ice and glaciers, to reach Ireland. Which would have mostly covered in miles thick ice. Except for a small section in the south. Also there have been no bodies, objects or any other evidence of humans been found before 8000BCE. That is the time just after the last age ended.

I'm an adoptee and I have no other info but DNA, I've been testing since 2015 and found 1st and 2nd cousins so far. On one side I have Norwegian and that side is Irish other is Dutch. I always presumed the Dutch part was probably the Norwegian mix but after hearing about the Irish coastal being inhabited by Norse, and my research so far is that my Irish ancestros are from coastal area, perhaps the Norwegian is from Irland. I thought I exhausted every aspect of my genealogy DNA tree but now I'm understanding why my Irish side of the family and it's DNA result. Thank you for this vid!
My sister had her dna tested hers was the same. We left Ireland during the potato famine. So your correct. ❤

Most surprised by the early Anatolian farmers, which may have been what 9000 bc?
Who f*ckin cares
What I found most surprising was the Anatolian connection and the fact that Normans were of Viking descent and just lived in France - I thought they were french. My 59th great grandfather is Iar mac Setnai born about 0160 AD in what became known as the Kingdom of Osraige in Ireland which conforms to my DNA results. I don't know how to go further back than that but would love to learn how someday! thank you for a most interesting video!
I am a descendant of Rollo the first Viking to settle in in Normandy and thus also a descendant of Henry the Second, King of England.
Nor-Man, North-Man. They were Norwegian Vikings. The French (Frankish) gave them the land, which became known as Normandy for 2 reasons. 1, so they'd stop raiding. 2, so they would protect them from other Viking raiders of the time. They became a part of French society, but weren't genetically Frankish.
@@stevenhoskins7850 That's nonsense -the Norse and Franks mixed and became ethnic Normans. The idea that the Norse didn't mix with the local Frankish population is bs.

My dad was the oldest living male descendant of a line of Irishmen. Now my brother is the oldest in this lineage. We do have Norwegian via Viking ancestry. I was most surprised by the Turkey ancestry statement. So interesting.
Turkey doesn't exist. It is a name taken from Ata-Turk .
Anatolia was Ancient Hittite land.
The early Irish were not "from the Middle East." They were the descendants of Middle Easterners who had moved into Europe 2,000 years earlier. After 2,000 years, a person certainly qualifies as "European."
They're originally Russian tell the truth 😂😂😂😂😂😂
In terms of the British Isles and Ireland I think they use the term Anatolian to distinguish Neolithic settlers from the subsequent wave of Steppe peoples that arrived afterwards.
Genetics seems to indicate that the Neolithic farmers were darker skinned, with predominately brown eyes. It is interesting to note that this video talks about gentle assimilation, whereas in Britain it is generally believed that the Anatolian farmers were subjugated, and then essentially wiped out.
Most Europeans are a mix of majority Steppe ancestry, with a very small amount of Neolithic farmer DNA, and an even smaller amount of the original Hunter Gatherer gene pool.
The video simplifies the idea of a "Celtic" migration too. It is currently believed that the Celtic languages spread from the West, rather than the East, whereas Celtic artistic motifs, developed in central Europe and spread westward.
Dionysios of Halikarnassos calls the ancestors of the Irish people "Pelasgians" and they in fact originated in India but were expelled because of religious reasons after their defeat. They then settled in western Asia and populated Europe according to the ancient texts.

It motivates me to learn Turkish music, it will help, from a psychological perspective.
Its in your GENES!
The Turks did not arrive in “turkey”Anatolia, until 500+ years ago. They are not native to that area. So if you’re saying you feel Turkish it’s not from this ancient migration that the video explained of these people making their way to Ireland. Those people were not Turkish ever.
You are completely wrong. The Turkish speaking people of contemporary Anatolia is direct descendants of the ancient Anatolian farmers. Get rid of your prejudices. You are confusing the genetics with language. Actually the video explains exactly this misunderstanding. Lean some history and science... you are the person like from late 18th century nationalist...
@@KennyGolden-n8e but the Turkish language is from the Turks, not Native to Anatolia. That’s my point, there is no connection between Irish folk music and the Turkish language. I am not the one completely wrong, it’s your logic that needs a little work there.
The connection with Ireland Turkey is very tenuous. At one time Celtic culture spread from Ireland to Anatolia. It doesnt mean the people were related. Infact Celtic is a cultural definition. The Anatolian Celts cease to exist in the 4th century CE. As they were absorbed by the Greek and then Roman empires. The music of Turkey is probably more influenced by later invasions of other cultures.

Excellent video. As an American whose Irish ancestors migrated from County Clare in 1784, I watch many of these; this is the best I have seen. As I understand it the "Highland Scots" were primarily Irish immigrants from around the time of St. Patrick- approximately 400 AD (correct my understanding, if wrong). The Picts were already in Scotland and had been battling the Romans. How does the history of the Picts fit in?
my family was from Hadian's Wall area
@@Ceine53 Fantastic!
Evidently, the Picts stayed in Scotland; it was the Scottis who went from eastern Ireland to the west of Scotland, primarily Iona and inland from there. They eventually joined up with the Picts to make modern Scotland, and the Gaelic spoken in Scotland is similar enough to Irish Gaelic that they can be mutually understood. The Pictish language must have been subsumed for the most part.

The Irish are Indo-Europeans, not Turkish.
Clannaboy O’Neills, Tyrone O’Neills, O’Neills of the Fews, and McShanes: These families represent branches of the O’Neill dynasty that have maintained their identity over centuries. Each branch has its own unique history but shares a common ancestor in Áed in Macáem Tóinlesc through their descent from R-Z1513.
R-DF27 & R-Z1513
Overview of R-DF27 and R-Z1513
Haplogroup R-DF27 is a subclade of the larger haplogroup R1b, which is one of the most common Y-DNA haplogroups in Europe. This haplogroup is particularly prevalent in Western Europe, especially among populations in Ireland and Britain. The DF27 subclade itself has several downstream branches, one of which is R-Z1513.
R-Z1513 is a further subclade under R-DF27. It represents a specific lineage that can be traced through paternal ancestry. Individuals who belong to this haplogroup share a common ancestor along their paternal line, which can be useful for genealogical research and understanding population migrations.
Geographical Distribution
The geographical distribution of R-DF27 and its subclades, including R-Z1513, indicates a strong presence in regions such as Ireland, Scotland, and parts of England. The surnames associated with this haplogroup often reflect this distribution; for example, surnames like O’Neill, McShane, and Bryan are linked to individuals who have tested positive for Z1513.
Genetic Characteristics
The genetic characteristics of these haplogroups are determined by specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). For instance, individuals belonging to the Z1513 haplogroup may also exhibit other SNP markers such as BY3292 or BY57572. These markers help define the lineage more precisely and can indicate splits within the haplotree.
Historical Context
The emergence of these haplogroups dates back to ancient populations in Europe. The introduction of R-DF27 into the gene pool coincides with significant historical events such as migrations during the Bronze Age. The Bell Beaker culture is often associated with the spread of this lineage across Britain and Ireland.
Genealogical Implications
For individuals testing positive for either R-DF27 or R-Z1513, there are opportunities for genealogical connections through platforms that facilitate Y-DNA testing. Users can share family trees and connect with others who share similar genetic backgrounds. This collaborative approach can lead to discovering new relatives or merging duplicate profiles within genealogical databases.
In summary, R-DF27 is a significant Y-DNA haplogroup prevalent in Western Europe, particularly among Irish and British populations. R-Z1513 serves as a subclade under DF27, representing specific paternal lineages that can aid in genealogical research.

This thing they put out is rubbish
I would quibble with the idea that the Balanahatty people whose remains are related to people of Spain and Sardinia arrived “probably from Britain.” It makes sense that they immigrated to Ireland direct from Spain. / Portugal. The Irish sea between the two coasts has ferocious tidal races so fierce between the Antrim and Argyll/Clyde coasts that it scours mountains of gravel around the seabeds. So anyhow they got there, these people were ALREADY good mariners. It doesn’t really make sense to have them descended from generations or centuries of inland British farmers. The SEA was the highway. You could travel further in a day than in a week by land; and a few people could transport tens of tons of goods. Land travel was pathetic in comparison.
Take a look at the northern Spanish / Portuguese coast, and follow the line of longitude directly north. You can make a journey due north, a lot of it within sight of land and, allowing for a couple of degrees of drift both east or west, you hit the south coast of Ireland. If you miss it eastward, you’ll be going up between the Irish east and English west coast, or you’ll hit the south coast of England. If you miss to the west, you are still likely to be driven to the Irish west coast by the prevailing wind.
Coping with the winds and seas between Ireland & Britain, for colonists, is actually trickier than setting off from somewhere like the Santa Comba coast, then heading directly north.
A coast-hugging, island-hopping alternative is to carry on north till about Brest, stop in at Cornwall, and from there to Cork.
Almost certainly anyone getting lost off the English south coast is going to discover Ireland - continental people would have been as much aware of the one as the other from their earliest maritime explorations.
Agree with you, there are also the stories, like that of Milesius, and no smoke without a fire. I would call the people migrants rather than colonists, because of the connotations. From all evidence they entered with peaceful, respectful co-habitation rather than to impose and impoverish.

This is wrong unfortunately. If the Irish are similar to Anatolian farmers why do they cluster so far away from Sardinians who are the closest genetically to these Neolithic farmers ? Because the steppe- derived Beaker folk largely replaced these farmers in Ireland in the Bronze Age . The modern Irish are very similar to Bronze Age Irish , not Neolithic farmers .This has been understood for many years now. I don't understand how or why this fundamental and well known fact - in the genetics community- has been missed by the History Hub.

I wish someone would do a video sometime, of the Irish Diaspora, worldwide. My last name is Conway, and I am a Canadian, Newfoundlander, of Irish descent, almost, certainly. My immediate family has lived in Newfoundland some 200 years now, but from everything I've been able to piece together so far, we originated from Ireland. I believe we are of older Irish stock, and it is very sad to know that our Family/Clan name seems to be dying out in Ireland, but we continue to exist in many parts of North America, Australia, so I gather, and many parts of Britain, as well. Maybe elsewhere, but these are the areas I am aware of. My Best. Out.
Conway is still.a very popular name in ireland 🇮🇪 young and old still here...
@@LindaCByrne73 : Well, that's nice to know Darling. I have not had an easy job at all, researching Conways in Ireland, thus have assumed the clan was dying out there. I wish I could find out the origin of the clan though, as I know there are Conways in Wales too, and the name goes back quite a ways there, also, but I continue to assume and hope it originates in Ireland. I know the original Irish/Celtic versions go back well over a thousand years, and split off into three different clans with similar last names, thus making it that much harder to figure out which one that I, myself, may have descended from. I live in Newfoundland, Canada, myself, and our family has been here, now, some six to seven generations as best we can figure, so we go back a couple hundred years here, and before that, the oral tradition has been that we come from Britain, which I guess, means Wales, but it's confusing given what was going on in that area, in those times, and why my clan, my branch of our clan anyway, were forced to leave to begin with. Sadly, I have not been able to go beyond two hundred years with any amount of reliability, which has been hugely, frustrating for me, and speaks to all of us across the Irish Diaspora, worldwide, who suspect they are descended from people who were forced to leave Ireland, but have difficulty proving that. All I know so far, is that Conway is almost, certainly Irish in origin, and represents one of the more ancient Clan names in that nation, going back a thousand years at least, and maybe even, more.
I'm saddened that there are no organizations in Ireland, seeking to reclaim the history of all the lost clans of that land, and that it is left up to the clan itself, to find out whatever it can about the origins of each, particular, clan; as this goes back to the collective history of the nation and people overall, really. I mean, it's not bigotry at all, to rediscover what make the Irish, Irish, to begin with. Correct? With this new wave of immigration taking over all our lands, I think more and more of us are thinking about that now. Warmest Wishes. Out For Now.

There are lots of Conways in Quebec City, suburb called Valcartier Village, mainly from Queen's Co. Ireland in early 1800s, after the war of 1798, when many left, long before the famine years. The Irish here date back to the late 1700s.
@@ritabrownen402 : Hey, yes, thanks so much, Rita, much appreciate the information.
Yes, I am aware that French Canada took in many Irish after the war with England. Did not know many within the Conway Clan were amoung them but I guess, I should not be surprised. This time frame matches up pretty much, with the Conways who settled here, in Newfoundland, as well, and indeed, throughout much of the rest of the world, as well. I only, made that post to begin with, because I hear so many Irish names when I check out the history of Ireland, particularly, the more recent history, but Conway is never mentioned, and clearly, we exist, and it is almost, certain we originate in Ireland. This has always, bugged me somewhat, in trying to get a better understanding of my origins, as well.

@@eh1702This may be the case in terms of the later history but not in terms of the migration to Ireland in the beginning. This is already confirmed by the report of the ancient Greek historian Dionysios of Halikarnassos. But the Irish tradition connects the colonisation of Ireland with the defeat of the Tuatha de Danan and this is also told in the Indian tradition. The Tuatha de Danan are said to have been offspring of the goddess Danu, a river goddess already mentioned in the Rigveda. This now mostly sunken river Danu is called "Eridanus" by the Greeks and separated Europe from Hyperborea (meaning Ireland, Great Britain, Schleswig-Holstein, Skandinavia and Island).
The Indians call the Tuatha de Danan "Danavas" and also say that they were offspring of the goddess Danu. One Episode of the war told in the Mahabharata was the attack of Krishna's capitol Dvaraka by a Danava king named "Salwa" from the air while Krishna was not there. When he came back and heard what had happened he decided to attack the Danavas and to destroy them. In this connection is said that the Danavas lived to the north of India on an island in the sea.
Though the Irish tradition doesn't mention the name of Krishna (which can be explained because they had no direct contact) it seems very likely that both traditions refer to the same event.

Fascinating! I have pale skin, which burns easily in the sun, whereas my sister has an olive complexion and tans easily. Pity, as I now live in Australia and must use a high skin factor cream in the hotter climate. When my first grandchild was born, she had that glorious golden skin colouring which I believed must have come via my sister's profile, thus being eminently suitable for the Australian climate. Ha ha! She was jaundiced and after a few days under a lamp, turned into pure white Irish type skin necessitating care in the sun. Our family can't account for my sister's beautiful, darker skin. Maybe a throwback to the Anatolian aspect of her DNA?
Mama's baby papa's, maybe. Perhaps your sister has a different father. Do a DNA paternity.
@@AlanThomas-hp3fn don't be rediculous more likely if they have some Irish blood you can have red heads and dark in the same family. Son in law is one of the three redheads and his brother is the dark haired (black Irish) facial all out of the same pod.
My brother and I have very different skin tones. He is pale and Rudy. I seem to have thicker skin, and I don't burn easily. Amazing variations in families.
If you love to live long enough to see the babies grow up in your family, stop using high factor sunscreen on your white skin.
Please check what's in it, it's poisonous.Your body absorbs this and in due time it'll damage your health. Better use coconut oil, covering the skin on midday. 15 min.in the sun with the forehead is sufficient for the needed dose of Vit.D
Better expose white skin to the sun for short periods of time. It'll build up resilience with time. 👋👩🌾
My brother has the darker skin, tans easily, me, white, burn easy but will tan. We had a dna test and yes we are related
It didn't surprise me tbh because it's well documented in our mythology of pre Celtic inhabitants of Ireland coming from the direction of Greece so I always thought Anatolia was a possibility. Personally I believe a lot of mythology is developed from oral history and has truths amidst the embellishments. There's certainly many clues worth exploring. It's so exciting to use DNA to learn about the past!
My prayers are with Sean Moody and his family 🙏🏼 I have Irish ancestry and still have family there that I have a strong connection with. I had my DNA done I am mostly Irish Scottish Welsh then English and the Scandinavian
Thank you so much for your support and prayers, it means a lot
Reflects my DNA analysis. Gives me appreciation of where some of it is coming from.
I was born in Belfast as were my family. My DNA result was 92.1% Irish Scottish and Welsh, 5.7% East European and 2.2% Central Asian. I had black hair hazel eyes and very white skin also 5’6” tall.
Interesting here in central asia some kazakhs have irish and scottish dna in them too
@@Jade-ju1qsVery interesting
Thank you for the video very interesting. I do claim Irish ancestry, I am about 20 percent Irish. My ancestors that I know of were from Donegal, Mayo and Munster
Noah’s son Japheth’s family migrated west through the Turkish area and on to Europe. Ham’s son Canaan went down through Israel to Egypt and Africa. Shem’s family stayed in Babylon until God called Abraham out.
That's right.
That's false . Why would they go south to Southern Africa ? Nothing there . Culture was way different. It took thousands of years to accept Sub-Saharan Africans .so why go there even bacl then 🤔
not actual reliable sorce - the Bible.... better to get new knowedge from recent ancient DNA studies. And remember that it nead women to get new people on the planet. Mostry forgotten i bibels and other religios stories
Genesis -chapter 10😊👍
Prove it?
I'm a Heinz 57 American, Russian and Polish on Dad's side, and English, Dutch, French, German, Welsh and maybe Irish on my Mom"s. I thought the Anatolia piece was very interesting. Just goes to show we're all a blend or melting pot of many influences. Yet people continue to be divided on the basis of nationality or ideology.
After seeing a lot of confused comments written here, I thought I should mention, that all Europeans are descended from the waves and migrations of people who originally came from the middle east ( farmers ) and those who came from Eurasia ( Yamanaya herders/ nomads ).This started about 7000 years ago. The proportion of these two peoples, in each country varies. Ireland is not any different than other European countries, in having people whose ancestors, originated partly from the middle east, a very long time ago. They are not directly related to people living in the middle east now. The original farmers that had arrived about 7000 years ago, seemed to have been replaced by further waves of immigration. There is only a tiny amount of their DNA found in modern Irish people.
Irish people today are not related to people living in Anatolia, Turkey. The Celtic culture once extended from right across parts of Europe from Ireland to Anatolia in Turkey. Though Celtic is a culture, not an ethnic group. The Celts of Anatolia ceased to exist in the 4th century , when they were absorbed by the Greek, then Roman empires. They were also replaced by other people moving into that area, after this.

Loved all your information I'm sorry about the loss of your friend and coworker.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your support and sympathy 💐. Glad that you liked it
Great documentary 🍀Ghod blessed🇮🇪
This explains the Persian haplogroup result I received on a DNA test once. Could. It figure that out but loved it due to the exquisite history and ancient knowledge that comes from the region.
Lots of Todd’s near me in Ireland
What this illistrates is that the celtic people were in northern europe and Ireland for a long period of time, their origins, it seems are mere speculation.
There isn’t a “Celtic people”. Many different genetic lineages / continental tribes from Spain to Anatolia adopted Celtic languages. With and without the visual culture we in western Europe think of as Celtic.
Ireland was quite a late adopter (and adapter) of those late bronze age/Iron Age Hallstatt and La Tène visual themes.
As this video points out, Irish genetics shows surprisingly light genetic influence from the continent in that period compared to the significant influence on material culture.
It is still far from certain whether it subtantially changed the languages of the islands or if insular languages already were related to the languages of those regions. (The word Celtic in its modern usage was coined to label the language family.)
The Irish as a genetic population were substantially already there when Celtic material/visual culture arrived, as this video makes clear, and is surprisingly little changed through that whole “Celtic” period: and the next substantial genetic influence was Viking.
@Daniel Language is highly significant in indicating where a group have migrated from.
@@eh1702 There is a Celtic people, the language is from the vedic root same as Hindu. The Irish Scottish Manx Welsh Cornish and Breton are all Celtic peoples and DNA confirms it. You are out of date with your information. There remains P Celtic and Q Celtic languages, Irish Scottish and Manx are Q Celtic and Welsh Cornish and Breton are P Celtic. (Many references in Celtic History and referenced in the Dictionary of Celtic Mythology - Oxford University Press published).
Just learned I am mostly Irish with some Scottish and Viking on the side, I find this very helpful.
Yes, I do have Irish ancestry.
Very Enjoyable and informative video. I am Irish, from Lisdoonvarna, County Clare, family Name is O’Loughlin mainly based in north County Clare in the Burren Region spanning to Corcomroe Abbey in North Clare., my mothers family name is Danaher originally from East Limerick.
Connacht shares (90% of people here) share DNA with the ancient Basques so it is not most likely we cam through Britain... in fact it is more probable that it came by the Western seaboard. The Irish brought the Gaelic language to Scotland 2000 years ago at least... The Celtic arrivals came in different stages to Britain and to Ireland of. course with the P (Welsh/Cornish) and the Gaelic (Irish/Scottish/Manx) having different if complimentary paths. We love our Celtic brothers and are more like them in spirit than anyone else. Look to An Lebo Gabala (Leabhar Gabhála...Book of Invasions) it is stunningly accurate regarding who came here. The history is in the oft ignored languages...no international scholars of archaeology paid much attention to what we actually wrote ourselves about ourselves of course... thanks to English invasion etc...
That's obviously old and outdated. Modern dna studies show all Irish are closely related so whether you are from Connacht of Leinster all Irish cluster together. Irish share most of their dna with neighbouring populations and are distant to Basque populations. The closest populations to Basque are also their neighbours i.e. the Southern French and Spanish. In fact of all British Isles populations Irish are the most distant out of the English, Welsh and Scots who also don't share any special relationship with populations like the Basque.
Basques, now is that where the term " black Irish " comes from? My grandmother was 100% Irish, had black hair and dark brown eyes, beautiful olive skin and I inherited her skin tone.
@@jackieblue1267There IS the fact that the Basques have more people with blood type A-Negative than any other location. Most interesting that A Negative is also found in those with red/blond hair & green/blue eyes, of Celtic lineage.
@@bbalance2086 Who exactly has A- negative blood of Celtic heritage? The Celts were in France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria etc. Even places like the Czech area was mostly Celtic before more Slavic and Germanic groups moved in. I doubt A- blood was a factor with the ancient Celts. Ancient Celts were more French like. Basques however are not a Celtic population.
“Black Irish” - Maybe that’s the Anatolian part?
I'm from Dundee,I'm from Irish descent on my Maternal Grandmother's side,McPhillips,Carroll
Esau is described in the Bible as having red hair and being a hairy man
Yes, my mother's father's family was from Langford & Leitrim. I expect they may have had Celtic or Nordic ancestry. That grandfather was a robust, strong man & Catholic with very vividly royal blue eyes. He had worked as a mason & could build anything from the ground up all by himself. He knew how to engineer structure. I find historical heritage fascinating. I'm surprised to learn Anatolians migrated west as far into ancient Ireland. Thank you for adding knowledge to my quest to learn all about my ancestry.
Nothing about the Bronze age peoples who form the basis of Irish Genetic origins? Negates the authenticity of the whole video.
I'm disappointed and Irish person isn't here in this. Especially since they are finding some royalty there. I agree. They mention new grange but it was fleeting. I've been there.i can't say more.
Great program. My surname is Kehoe, originally Mc Eough or something like that. From east of Athalone. I didn’t know the Normans were invited in!
Diarmuid Mac Murrough offered Strongbow,( Richard De Clare) his daughter Aoife's hand in marriage.
Ireland is once again being invaded, this time from Muslim countries, now at about 2 million I think. It breaks my heart. My deceased husband was Irish and what a great man he was!
Who told you there were 2million Muslims in Ireland? 😅😅😅 That is HILLARIOUS! Wonder where they've hidden all the mosques...must go and look for them tomorrow!
There is less than 100k muslims in Ireland, it's about 1% of the population...
OMG how do you think the Irish got around the World, when hardship hit starvation, oppression and colonial murders, our people had to leave. Why do you think the Muslim people would want to leave their home, they don't they are being forced out while the World stands by and lets atrocities happen again and again.
We need to stand together.
I have scottish/irish from my maternal grandfather Thompson. I live in mid Michigan and there is a huge irish/scottish heritage around this state. I never realized it. My husband is a musician and plays in many bars and i see a lot of irish decor in these places.I Iive in town called Alma and we have a private college and there mascot is the Scots which is a giant red haired viking man, we also have a festival called the highland festival where they do games and such. They wear kilts and we have a local bar called brave heart's w some irish scottish decor. My husband is Danish but says hes a viking (past life)
This is neither new, nor a surprise. Nor is it specific to Ireland.
Yes I have Irish and Scottish ansestors on my mother and fathers side 🏴❤❤❤❤❤
I was born in Ireland but have been out of there for most of my life. It seems to me that the Celts were a generic Aryan people rather than a specific Central European group.
Both sides of my family originate in Ireland, they came here for work after the famine I'm Scottish and some of my family even started moving back . Its interesting finding out about your DNA and heritage.
Why do you tell us about DNA changes but don't give us the haplogroups so we can be more informed and do our comparison with our DNA and do more research?
Because the Haplogroups are from the Steppes.R1b
When the Tuatha De Danann arrived in Ireland, approximately 1800BCE (way, way before Jesus walked the earth), there were other well established peoples in Ireland. So, this theory makes a lot of sense, given that fact. I have Irish, Viking and Dutch ancestry. My great grandfather left Ireland during the godawful Great Blight. My grandfather spoke Gaelic. And even though I was born in Zambia and raised in South Africa, my blood is as green as the Emerald Isle itself. That heritage runs deep within. May God protect Ireland always. 💚☘
This video is factually wrong. It makes no mention of the Bell Beaker Bronze Age invasion, who are the biggest genetic component in the modern Irish.
It would be horrid if the world knew about the ancient origins of civilization starting in Ireland. You must only learn you come from an ape in Africa.
23@me told me that I am 60% Irish, with an additional 5% French, 5% German, and 5% English in my DNA. The rest must be some muddy water that could not be sifted through. This is an excellent show. Very informative. Thanks and Blessings to the makers ! And a Prayer for the soul of Sean Moody. May the music of his spirit play on forever !
Thanks for your kind words and sympathy. It means a lot. We miss him. But glad that tens of thousands of people he never met know him now. 🥹
Why no mention of the Beaker people?
Exactly, they form the basis for our genetic ancestry. Neolithic people contribute only about 10%.

I loved going to New grange. There are some Irish people who have distinct look, and certain Welsh and Scottish. I have the usual Scottish, Irish, English, Breton and a teeny bit Nordic ancestry but look like mum's side of the family, dark hair, eyes and skin colour, my Auntie Mona said we were 'Ancient Briton' ( Scottish and Breton) .
vik "ing" is a way of life not a gene pool.
He said they were from Norway (or Scandinavia) today's Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
These bones where found on rathlin island of the North cost of Ireland
Ireland is an Irish Isle, not a British Isle.
only religion divides them...
I don't always understand the difference, except some are indigenous USA, or Canadian or S. American etc
That must mean truly on Ireland nation, 👍
I have Irish DNA, Scottish, and Nordic, and from here in the uk I agree with you.
Part of the British isles
I am surprised that we have origins with the Anatolians. I have been tested and I am 94% Irish. My father was from Tyrone and my mother from Offaly.
many Europeans, including the Irish, have genetic ancestry that can be traced back to Anatolian farmers. The spread of agriculture from Anatolia, into Europe around 8,000 years ago led to the mixing of these early farmers with indigenous hunter-gatherer populations in Europe. The migration and mixing introduced a significant amount of Anatolian farmer DNA into the European 🧬. for example Sardinians have one of the highest levels of Anatolian farmer ancestry in Europe
Are we talking the Tuatha da Daanan here?@@TheHistoryHubs
You don't - Irish DNA is mostly Steppe related
See: son of manu
Not sure what you are responding to.
@@peterfcoyle9127
That Irish are NOT Anatolian.
I have ancestry from Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. A persistent 1% of my DNA is "Sardinian". I think this video may explain where it came from though I don't think I can be sure it was through the Irish connections because the migration was not exclusively to Ireland. Thank you for the video!
