I am 63 and have always enjoyed our pre-history, learning it's twists and turns over the decades... especially the story changing as we learn more. This video is wonderfully succinct and tells that story accurately (as far as the available information is concerned). Thank you for doing such a great job.
If the red hair gene came to Ireland from the Bell Baker culture, why are there so many less red hairs in Central and Western Europe than in the British Isles?
What is interesting is that a Mesolithic Sample from Sidelkino who belonged to Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b also apparently had a tendency towards the Celtic Curse, were lighter skinned than the other samples and lighter hair, Brown instead of Black.... (MN2003)
The nuclear DNA also known as the Y chromosome ( male DNA ) of the Iron Age Celts of what is now England was mostly replaced when the Romans invaded Britain. But the Romans never invaded Ireland, so our nuclear DNA has continued. Also the Huguenots, Quakers, Ulster Scotts etc were / are Protestants and we remain distinct from them to this day. Peace wall. We, the Native Irish are what most of the people of Western Europe looked like before the Roman and Moor invasions. So, no we the Native Irish are not diverse, we are homogeneous.
14 percent of Irish names are Norman in origin which were a Germanic people and many of the English settlers became Irish , hence the large percentage of English surnames in Ireland. . Connacht probably has the most concentrated Irish Celtic DNA . .
@@dechannigan2980 Don't get too cought up in surnames because they were just introduced by the Anglo Normans. The same with counties. Instead look at the DNA.
The genetic connection between the English and Irish probably goes back to when both countries was populated by the Celts. "The Brigantes were an ancient Celtic tribe that lived in what is now Northern England and Ireland, including the area of modern-day Kilkenny:"
I doubt Irish are 95% R1b possibly 70 to 75%. I know in west Ireland R1b is 80% but the bulk of the Irish live on the East coast so it would be less than that. There is a reasonable amount of I and R1a. Also the Irish are Indigenous Celts and not that similar to Continental Celts. I think you table of Celtic and Germanic is flawed as well. English would have the greatest amount of Germanic dna. The Scots and Irish cluster together so Scotland might have a bit more Germanic dna than Ireland but a Viking study that came out a couple of years ago said that the Viking/Germanic dna in Ireland and Scotland was similar at 20%.
I never mentioned anything about continental celts. There is no such thing as indigenous celts. All British isles ethnicities cluster together. Scottish have a lot of Saxon DNA.
@@Ancestrallinguist What are you using to compare these populations though? English have a lot of Anglo-Saxon. They have a lot more Germanic than Scots. Where did all the Germanic dna come from in Scottish? Also it is difficult to get an accurate result with how much Germanic dna these populations have because Bell Beakers are very Northern genetically and they aren't Celtic like. I'm just interested in the topic and have looked at some of this. I would like to see some ancient IBD used to see if they could get more accurate results with these populations. I'm sure that will happen in the future.
The author of that 2017 viking DNA in Ireland report Edmund Gilbert has recently revised that figure downwards saying the data interpretation was flawed. There is much less viking DNA in Ireland than in Scotland and Scottish isles. "In contrast (with Scotland/Scottish Isles) the Norwegian-looking ancestry in Ireland is minimal" he said. Also could the channel please not refer to Ireland as a "British Isle". I mean even the British Government agreed not to use the term back in 1998.....
@@washerdryer3466 These are the figures from that study "e first performed a supervised ADMIXTURE (14) analysis, modeling British and Irish clusters of interest as a mixture of 3 sources, England, ‘Wales’ (N Wales and S Wales), and Norway (Fig. 3A). These sources approximately represent Celtic (Wales), Saxon (England), and Norse (Norway). We observe the highest Norwegian ancestry in the Northern Isles clusters (mean 18%, maximum 23%), which agrees well with estimates by Leslie et al. (4). Norwegian ancestry is lower in the Hebrides (7%), and is substantially lower in the north of Scotland (N Scotland) and southwest (Argyll), and the Isle of Man, averaging 4%, little more than other parts of mainland Scotland. We estimate that Norwegian (as well as Danish/Swedish) ancestry is also markedly low in Ireland (average 7%) compared with previous estimates (8, 9) (we explore this further in Discussion). The majority of ancestry in our tested clusters is modeled as the Welsh ancestral component, reflecting a common “Celtic” ancestry across Scotland and Ireland. The eastern Scottish clusters Aberdeenshire and Tayside-Fife present more English-like ancestry. Isle of Man similarly presents relatively high (42%) English ancestry." However they are modelled using populations today. To get a more accurate result they need to use ancient genomes which will most likely happen in the future.
The divisiveness you mention in ireland is not from the plantations ,it comes from centuries before ,just accentuated in the posterior migrations from britain . Brythonic and gael tribes had clashed in the ulaid area well before .

Me: Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b L21.
Goes way back to an egypsion princess and stone of destiny.

@@dechannigan2980 No not Connacht. Connacht is less distinct than South Munster and Donegal.

The Romans left almost no genetic impact on the British genome. What are you talking about?
The genetic connection between the English and Irish probably goes back to when both countries was populated by the Celts. "The Brigantes were an ancient Celtic tribe that lived in what is now Northern England and Ireland, including the area of modern-day Kilkenny:"
Yes exactly 👍 and even the Germanic peoples who invaded both islands would have had similar ancestral origins to the Celts.
@Ancestrallinguist why are we talking about Celts when we should be talking about Bell Beakers.
Yes true
My Irish DNA is R-M269 mate
The Yamnaya culture had nothing to do with the Celts
we tend to have thinner lips than your AI lass
Maybe she's from Tallaght and had her lips done.
We also where never black like in a few of those images.
@@White.Man1 apart from the brief group of hunters at about 55 seconds into the video, the other depictions of black mesolithic people seem accurate.
@@Richard1A2B That's your opinion, Whites have always been here.
I need more detailed infographics to be able to follow. Did he say Irish people spread to India and created the cast system😮

All British isles ethnicities cluster together. Scottish have a lot of Saxon DNA.
Based on my analysis, the English don’t
