@@cwchadwynndo you know anything about the dark history of the three feathers on your profile picture? It was worn by Norman French soldiers as they r@ped and pillaged their way through Wales in brutal acts of colonialism. The Norman French themselves had stolen the feathers away from the ancient bohemian royal family. The Norman French then created the Prince of Wales title to ridicule the Welsh for wanting to rule themselves..... Why do you think people like Charles were given the title Prince of Wales even though they have nothing to do with Wales? 😂

My paternal haplogroup is I1a2a1a1d and my maternal haplogroup is K2a5a. I am British with English, Irish, Welsh, French and an ancestor at some point who was Indian. Red hair is in my family, I carry a copy of Val60Lue which is a weak red hair gene. Which is on my mothers side. I have brown hair and grey/green eyes but I was born with fair hair.
This video backed up my DNA results, I'm mainly Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Scandinavian. There are a few percentages from England, Italy and the middle east. Great video
I have similar DNA, mainly Scottish, then Irish then Welsh. I also have Scandinavian DNA from Norway, Sweden and Denmark. There is also a little Austrian.

Red hair comes from Canaanites migrating via Egypt and Spain into Ireland and further. The Canaanites have it from intermingling with red haired Edomites.
R1b DF27 from Southern England and H536 from Wicklow in Ireland. I read they found a couple of Skeletons from the Bronze age that were DF27 and not the common Irish L21. There is a small Irish Subclade if DF27 being DF17. My mother and her mum and her mum were all Red Heads with Freckles.
My grandfather was a Scots/Irish blend and had red hair. I understand the main cause in those that have it is the MC1R gene, which i don't carry. I've also discovered that most of my male family DNA matches on that side are R1b-L21 Y Chromosome. I'm R1b-U106, probably from the Saxons invading England.
Maternal grandfather was of mostly Celtic background - scottish, northern irish and english i believe. He had jet black hair and looked akin to southern europeans and was regularly confused for being so. Many of his family had this combined with red facial hair or body hair. Anecdotally I would agree with the Iberian link for Celtic people as well as the red haired gene. Unsure about specific haplogroups or DNA, but your comments appear sound based on family links of Celtic with smaller Germanic contributions

even the last Damascene Umayyad prince who stayed alive escaped from the Abbasids, Abd al-Rahman, had red hair and was tall (6 foot) because his mother was Amazigh with red hair from the Amazigh tribe of Nefza in northern Morocco, as Ibn Khaldoun said
Formerly red-haired. Still have the bone white skin. Am still taken aback when I meet someone new who has the same coloring as myself.

The association of R-L21 with red hair is very interesting. Is it from Indo-European Celts, from Stone Age farmers, or some other origin?
Red hair probably came from the Neanderthal. K2 ydna was first modern man in Europe about 35 to 40 Kya . Belgium area. K2 mixed with Neanderthals in Belgium and down into Iberia ice age refuge. This K2 evolved to R1b in west Europe. K2 had a wide range from Iberia to Siberia. R1b also had this range in Paleolithic. sites google site/n8iveuropean/home/genetics
Abswering the question of the video: the most Celtic DNA is haplogroup R1b. Though you may say it is common for all of pople of Western Europe, it absolutely matches the Celtic migration. R1b is also common among Finno-Ugric peoples who also have a lot of red hair. So R1b is a red-haired haplogroup.
According to the Hallstatt Celtic hypothesis, the Insular Celts (R1b-L21) and Iberian Celts (R1b-DF27) are not Original Celts, They are descendants of the first wave of Bell Beaker immigrants. The original Celts are the Gauls, who had haplogroup R1b S28 and Celticized the British Isles and Iberia in the Iron Age. Therefore, red hair has nothing to do with the original Celts and is a phenotypic trait of the insular branch of the bell beakers.
I am first redhead with blue eyes in my family of blonds blue eyes on both mother and father sides our family has been in northern Germany for atleast 500 years that we know of. But the men of my father and mothers side had all blond hair but red beards. And I am the first and only born with red hair on head. All 3 of my sisters blond blue eyes like ther rest of my family all the men and women.
Lowlander Scottish descent here. I was born with blue eyes and light blonde hair. It got somewhat darker as I got older but it changes from mostly blonde in the summer to auburn in the fall to mostly brown in the winter. My brother has blue eyes, true blonde hair on his head and eyebrows, and red facial hair. Who knows
I was born near Segontium. I am Welsh on my dad’s side. Now getting on in years I have whispy white hair but originally my hair was strawberry blonde, ginger, or red depending on whom you asked. I also had freckles.
My Father: S781+ (Scotland) My Mother: H1g1 (Sweden) Father's side: red or brown hair, green or blue eyes. Mother's side: blonde or brown hair, green or blue eyes. I have blonde hair and green eyes. Both of my parents have green eyes. Learning about human migration patterns through haplogroups is fascinating to me. Thank you for delving into the science in your videos. ETA: type A-
I'm German, but the region I come from once belonged to France. My Grandaunt on the mother's side had fire red hair, and light blue eyes. Her sister, my grandmother, had straight dark brown hair and brown eyes. Both had yellow skin undertones. So do I. My grandfather on the mother's side had red blond wavy hair and blue eyes. My father came from Poland. Blond curls, yellow skin undertones and blue slit eyes. Slit eyes? Yellow skin? Your videos gave the explanation: the influence from the Tartarians and other Asian people, who migrated to Poland. The blond hair and light skin came from the Finns, Lithuanians, Swedes, who migrated to Poland. The same in the Rhineland, where they all met. I have green eyes, and red brown hair. Thank you for your very helpful videos.
Im sure the high incidence of red hair, which is found at its highest amounts in Ireland and Scotland, comes from the Beaker people. It not really connected directly to Celtic people. It predates the Celtic takeover. As its known now that although Britain and Ireland became culturally and linguistically Celtic, at some point around 800 to 500 BCE, there was no invasion and physical replacement by Celtic people, from the European continent. It was cultural takeover. So the genetics of the people in Britain and Ireland remained mostly the same, as it was with the arrival of the Beaker people, at least two thousand years earlier.
I'm from California but have strong ancestry from Scotland and Denmark. My hair is blonde and eyes are hazel. Blood type A negative. haplogroup R-M269 and related to Niall of the Nine Hostages.
Dark hair with natural red highlights when I was younger and blue grey eyes. Central Southern English (Berkshire/South Oxon, South Bucks, Wilts, Hants) antecedents.
It needs to be a Y-DNA or mt DNA test from my understanding, as standard autosomal tests just give you regions I think. I would look into it though and see what others say
No, they dont report it although you can download the raw DNA and upload to other sites that will provide this info. 23andme, livingdna and FTDNA do provide that info on their reports.
23andme is the cheapest way to get paternal and maternal haplogroups that I know of. Paternal haplogroups (Y DNA) are good for genealogical research. Family Tree DNA can give a much more specific Y haplogroup than will 23andme but for a higher cost.
My real dad whom i never knew was Irish (last name murphy) and whatever else, my mom (maiden name Heinz) is mainly German, Swedish, Dutch , French , and British ❤ im a natural redhead with blue green eyes. :) A+ blood type
I read somewhere that the Picts originated in today's Scandinavia 8,000 years ago. There was a land bridge connecting Europe to today's UK called Doggerland. It might be that the Picts and the Scots merged; perhaps that's why they had red hair.
The Picts have to be just like any other Europeans which is Bells Beaker/Corded Ware culture derived people with maybe some extra western hunter gather picked up
@@tbrown4080 nah theres story they come from Scythians and then past black sea through med sea and up through that trade route, then sailed fished pirates etc too around scotland but took women from ireland as wives with the gaels permission aslong as they passed thrown or whatever on via maternal lines brother or male siblings or something. another has them being balkan in origin another iberia etc just gets messy and confusing not clear. there one of the more mysterious British isles groups in origins
I'm English, from Cumbria, but when I took a DNA test, which suggested that I was roughly 43% Scottish, 27% Irish and 30% English. (I realise that these DNA tests are unlikely to be 100% accurate). I've got fair to blond hair and if I were grow a beard, it would be reddish.
The Udmurt's are quite fascinating to me, possibly a remnant characteristic of slaves takes from Scotland or Ireland. and left in this area. Or were they the origin of Red Hair? That's quite a good question I surprised myself.
Another question would be, how come there is no DNA link between the Udmurt people and Ireland & Scotland? Despite all three having larger red haired groups?
@PaulEcosse It could be a very ancient link. Remember that most Eurasians have inherited some Neanderthal Genes yet no Y-DNA and MtDNA from them. There is an Ancient Late Paleolithic/Mesolithic Sample of a Man with the so called "Celtic Curse" Hemochromatosis and he was Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b. He lived not far from the Ural mountains in the Samara region. The Udmurts in the Perm region basically borders that region, so it could be an Ancient connection. The sample is (MN2003). He was also lighter in skin, hair and eye colour than the other samples of that area...
I am R1b L21 from my dads side. or R1b-CTS4466. My dads mom was H2a5. My fathers parents were born in Ireland and immigrated to NYC about 1910 when they were young. My genetics from his side was mostly Irish with some from England. My grandmothers maiden name was Stretton. Small bit from Scandinavia about 4 percent in 4 companies. My moms dad, I cannot do. Southern Italian American. U1a. My grandmother was Sicilian. There were a lot of Greek related genetics on that side like most Sicilians and Southern Italians. I do have Tuscan DNA too.
I’m a north east Englishman. When I had colour in my hair I was “mousy “ with a dark/ red beard. My sister was born with strawberry blond hair. My son was blond till he was 40.
Red hair comes from the neolithic settlers in Britain Most people in Britain are descended from the first humans who settled here after the end of the ice age. The genetics of founding populations are always overwhelmingly strong
Red blonde hair comes from the vikings the celtic people are from iberia dark hair the Norman's and English Danish Swedish vikings and Germans from England invaded Britain and Ireland
History of a fascinating people very well told! And that redhead was very pretty! 😁 So darker hair colour in Europeans, i.e. black and dark brown: is that too a product of Celtic DNA or does that stem from elsewhere?
No I don't know my haplogroup and Ancestry and Apple seems to have conspired for me not to find out as I can't transfer the files successfully. Is there any other way to do it?
I have black hair and green hazel eyes. I know a lot of other people with the same coloring. I’m from Scotland. As a kid there I knew very few people with red hair.
I’m 47% Scottish, red hair, blue/green eyes. My paternal gr grandparents came to the US from Co Armagh and my maternal grandfather came from Sweden. I also have English and German ancestry.
Temehu and Tehenu tribes Are indigenous Egyptian red hair and white skin people They lived in the western half of Egypt in Aswan, Siwa and many areas and oases
Yes. In fact the entire lineage of the pharaoh 17 and 18 dynasty was a pure blood line of R1b. sites googlecom/site/n8iveuropean/home/southern-med/the-pharoahs Temehu are the ancient native Mazigh, or Libu (Lybian) the white original inhabitants of Tamazga. sites google com/site/n8iveuropean/home/southern-med
Could it be argued that the Scots are genetically more descended from Beaker Folks than they are from Celts ? The Celticness of the Scots may be mainly cultural/linguistic.
@@cwchadwynn The Picts (who are thought to have spoken a Bythronic Celtic language) and the Norse (Vikings) mostly ended up speaking Gaelic (Goidelic Celtic language) due to the fact that the Scots (descended from the Scotti) came to dominate the other groups. After 1300 AD the Gaelic language started to be replaced by the Scots Language ( a Germanic language mostly descended from Old Northumbrian Anglian). In my first comment I meant , by Scots, all of the people descended from the historical people groups of Scotland today (Mainly the Scotti, Picts, Britons, Angles and Norse). It has been a commonly used generalisation that the Scots are Celtic ethnically. However recent DNA evidence shows that this may not be correct. They may be much less Celtic and much more Beaker.
@@cwchadwynn I said Britons, not Bretons who were of Bythronic Celtic culture. The Angles and the Norse were of Germanic culture but the Scotti were of Goidellic Celtic culture. Celtic culture and Germanic culture are both of Indo-European descent and both in part decended from the Bell Beakers. It is currently thought that the Bell Beakers who went to Scotland came from the lands that are now the Neitherlands, which was an over-lap zone with the earlier Corded Ware culture. Since the Bell Beakers culture disappeared around 1000 years before even the earliest proto-Celtic culture (The Urnfield culture) it is hard to say if Celtic or Germanic culture is closer to the original Bell Beaker culture. The whole narrative that there is a link between the Scots/Irish and ancient Israel is not backed up by any verifiable sources or by DNA evidence. Some think that this idea began with Christianity and a wish to tie in Scottish/Irish kings to characters mentioned in the Bible.
You're essentially right yes, but there are branches of R1b for example that are associated more with Celtic peoples, but as you say, Celtic is largely cultural/linguistic. One main way to define a Celt is obviously someone who speaks a Celtic language (or is from a culture that does you could also say).
@@cwchadwynn I saw a video about that, but language and genetics are not the same. Billions of people in the world speak languages that developed thousands of miles away from their own ethnic heartland. However DNA does not lie, and there is zero DNA lnk between modern people who come from an Insular Celtic cultural back ground and semitic DNA. The linguistic similarities may be a case of "parallel linguistic evolution", coincidence, or maybe due to some kind of interaction between the languges - possibly going back to the influence of Neolithic Farmers (Semitic language ?)and the Bell Beakers ? This is only a guess on my part.
@@cwchadwynn Scoti was what the Romans called the Irish. Eth. SCOTI The Scoti were the ancient inhabitants of Hibernia, as appears from notices in some of the Latin writers. (Claudian, de IV. Cons. Honor. 33, de Laud. Stil. 2.251; Oros. 1.2.) For several centuries Ireland was considered as the land of the Scoti, and the name of Scotia was equivalent to that of Hibernia. (Isid. Orig. 14.6; Beda, 1.1, 2.4; Geogr. Rav. 1.3, 5.32; Alfred the Great, ap. Oros. p. 30, &c.)
I'd say really dark hair is unusual and ash blond almost completely absent. Red hair obviously but still a small minority. I'd say the only really notable characteristic is the dark hair light eyes combo.
Being blond haired and blue eyed I took a DNA test out of Curiosity. 100% North West European, 78% British , 18% German/French with a maternal haplogroup U4a1 which is apparently an ancient European group, once very common, now not so!.
My German great-grandfather had strawberry blond hair. A friend of mine who is close to 100% German of ancestry also is strawberry blond. Other note: I inherited the cleft chin from my grandfather (son of blond GG-F), and my redhead friend also has a prominent cleft in his chin. It seems to be common among Germans. 👍
Interesting. My recent ancestry is pretty much a map of the British Isles, but I do carry Iberian and N. African and am 41% steppe ancestry. I know my father was R1b, but I don't know the subgroup because I'm adopted.
im a red head [strawberry blonde ,] with blue eyes. I had Welsh grandmother and a Scottish great grandfather, both on the paternal side of the family my maternal side had Scandinavian background [ Danish]
Dude, get a grip, your hair is not blonde it’s red, in the United States we do not call your color of hair blonde, It is more red than blonde. My own ancestors originating from Ireland formed the Dal Riada kingdom of western Scottish Highlands and Islands commonly known as “Lord of the Isles” or McDonald clan, My family name is Mac Kean with some Campbell thrown in for good measure. How ironic considering these two clans were enemies for so long. My own hair is honey blonde, or blondish red as some might call it and my beard was a sparkly bright red with thick, wiry, curly beard hairs and freckled fair skin, but surprisingly my eyebrows were very dark, you could say they were black with black eyelashes, a very weird unusual combination of colors, to say the least, a mutt of Keltic genetics. I am very appreciative of my Keltic culture not like so many Americans who don’t care who they are and where they came from and who could care less. I enjoy watching your commentaries for the most part. Thumbs up 👍
Red hair is not Celtic. It’s Brythonic. The real Celts were the non-ginger Austrians. People of Britain & Ireland mainly adopted their language and culture (to a minor degree their genetics)
Red-hair is a Celtic Irish trait 👨🏻🦰🍀 also surprisingly king tut of Egypt from thousands of years ago had Red-hair and is related to all the Celtic descendants. My take on the majority of red hair descendants originated from Babylon and a population of the scythians had red hair but also another red hair Branch migrated into Egypt North Africa then into Western Europe thousands of years ago and The scythian Descendants who migrated from east to west combined with the red-haired Gauls who migrated out of North Africa into Western Europe from the Strait of Gibraltar later created the red-haired Celts

Abswering the question of the video: the most Celtic DNA is haplogroup R1b. Though you may say it is common for all of pople of Western Europe, it absolutely matches the Celtic migration. R1b is also common among Finno-Ugric peoples who also have a lot of red hair. So R1b is a red-haired haplogroup.
According to the Hallstatt Celtic hypothesis, the Insular Celts (R1b-L21) and Iberian Celts (R1b-DF27) are not Original Celts, They are descendants of the first wave of Bell Beaker immigrants. The original Celts are the Gauls, who had haplogroup R1b S28 and Celticized the British Isles and Iberia in the Iron Age. Therefore, red hair has nothing to do with the original Celts and is a phenotypic trait of the insular branch of the bell beakers.
I am first redhead with blue eyes in my family of blonds blue eyes on both mother and father sides our family has been in northern Germany for atleast 500 years that we know of. But the men of my father and mothers side had all blond hair but red beards. And I am the first and only born with red hair on head. All 3 of my sisters blond blue eyes like ther rest of my family all the men and women.
Lowlander Scottish descent here. I was born with blue eyes and light blonde hair. It got somewhat darker as I got older but it changes from mostly blonde in the summer to auburn in the fall to mostly brown in the winter.
My brother has blue eyes, true blonde hair on his head and eyebrows, and red facial hair.
Who knows
I was born near Segontium. I am Welsh on my dad’s side. Now getting on in years I have whispy white hair but originally my hair was strawberry blonde, ginger, or red depending on whom you asked. I also had freckles.
Thanks again for your gifts the videos you make the urdmert would be interesting cheers I salute
My Father: S781+ (Scotland)
My Mother: H1g1 (Sweden)
Father's side: red or brown hair, green or blue eyes.
Mother's side: blonde or brown hair, green or blue eyes.
I have blonde hair and green eyes. Both of my parents have green eyes. Learning about human migration patterns through haplogroups is fascinating to me. Thank you for delving into the science in your videos. ETA: type A-
Thank you, much appreciated. And thanks for sharing, really interesting.
I'm German, but the region I come from once belonged to France. My Grandaunt on the mother's side had fire red hair, and light blue eyes. Her sister, my grandmother, had straight dark brown hair and brown eyes. Both had yellow skin undertones. So do I. My grandfather on the mother's side had red blond wavy hair and blue eyes. My father came from Poland. Blond curls, yellow skin undertones and blue slit eyes. Slit eyes? Yellow skin? Your videos gave the explanation: the influence from the Tartarians and other Asian people, who migrated to Poland. The blond hair and light skin came from the Finns, Lithuanians, Swedes, who migrated to Poland. The same in the Rhineland, where they all met. I have green eyes, and red brown hair. Thank you for your very helpful videos.
I am the last of 3 generations that I know of auburn /red hair my grandfather family from Ireland
Fascinating.
Im sure the high incidence of red hair, which is found at its highest amounts in Ireland and Scotland, comes from the Beaker people. It not really connected directly to Celtic people. It predates the Celtic takeover. As its known now that although Britain and Ireland became culturally and linguistically Celtic, at some point around 800 to 500 BCE, there was no invasion and physical replacement by Celtic people, from the European continent. It was cultural takeover. So the genetics of the people in Britain and Ireland remained mostly the same, as it was with the arrival of the Beaker people, at least two thousand years earlier.
I am like the ancient Celts in that my hair is artificially enhanced to a blonde colour, but not with limewater, with bleach.
can you think about making one on Irish travellers?
I'm from California but have strong ancestry from Scotland and Denmark. My hair is blonde and eyes are hazel. Blood type A negative. haplogroup R-M269 and related to Niall of the Nine Hostages.
Dark hair with natural red highlights when I was younger and blue grey eyes. Central Southern English (Berkshire/South Oxon, South Bucks, Wilts, Hants) antecedents.
How do you find your haplogroups? Can you find out with an Ancestry DNA test?
It needs to be a Y-DNA or mt DNA test from my understanding, as standard autosomal tests just give you regions I think. I would look into it though and see what others say
No, they dont report it although you can download the raw DNA and upload to other sites that will provide this info. 23andme, livingdna and FTDNA do provide that info on their reports.
23andme is the cheapest way to get paternal and maternal haplogroups that I know of. Paternal haplogroups (Y DNA) are good for genealogical research. Family Tree DNA can give a much more specific Y haplogroup than will 23andme but for a higher cost.
R-M269 here mate
Im western Ireland
2 thousand years my clan has been in Ireland
Sláinte. was strawberry, some years back. Now grey mo charra
My real dad whom i never knew was Irish (last name murphy) and whatever else, my mom (maiden name Heinz) is mainly German, Swedish, Dutch , French , and British ❤ im a natural redhead with blue green eyes. :) A+ blood type
I'm also A+, German, grey green eyes, red brown hair. Interesting.
I have strawberry blonde hair, pink toned skin, blue eyes and quite tall. Welsh/Irish heritage
I read somewhere that the Picts originated in today's Scandinavia 8,000 years ago. There was a land bridge connecting Europe to today's UK called Doggerland. It might be that the Picts and the Scots merged; perhaps that's why they had red hair.
The Picts have to be just like any other Europeans which is Bells Beaker/Corded Ware culture derived people with maybe some extra western hunter gather picked up
@@tbrown4080 nah theres story they come from Scythians and then past black sea through med sea and up through that trade route, then sailed fished pirates etc too around scotland but took women from ireland as wives with the gaels permission aslong as they passed thrown or whatever on via maternal lines brother or male siblings or something.
another has them being balkan in origin another iberia etc just gets messy and confusing not clear.
there one of the more mysterious British isles groups in origins
R Z 9 and H 5, 36.I did not know that haplogroup H is in scotland and ireland but informations are often different given from different people.
I'm English, from Cumbria, but when I took a DNA test, which suggested that I was roughly 43% Scottish, 27% Irish and 30% English. (I realise that these DNA tests are unlikely to be 100% accurate). I've got fair to blond hair and if I were grow a beard, it would be reddish.
The Udmurt's are quite fascinating to me, possibly a remnant characteristic of slaves takes from Scotland or Ireland. and left in this area. Or were they the origin of Red Hair? That's quite a good question I surprised myself.
Another question would be, how come there is no DNA link between the Udmurt people and Ireland & Scotland? Despite all three having larger red haired groups?
@PaulEcosse It could be a very ancient link. Remember that most Eurasians have inherited some Neanderthal Genes yet no Y-DNA and MtDNA from them. There is an Ancient Late Paleolithic/Mesolithic Sample of a Man with the so called "Celtic Curse" Hemochromatosis and he was Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b. He lived not far from the Ural mountains in the Samara region. The Udmurts in the Perm region basically borders that region, so it could be an Ancient connection. The sample is (MN2003). He was also lighter in skin, hair and eye colour than the other samples of that area...
I am R1b L21 from my dads side. or R1b-CTS4466. My dads mom was H2a5. My fathers parents were born in Ireland and immigrated to NYC about 1910 when they were young. My genetics from his side was mostly Irish with some from England. My grandmothers maiden name was Stretton. Small bit from Scandinavia about 4 percent in 4 companies. My moms dad, I cannot do. Southern Italian American. U1a. My grandmother was Sicilian. There were a lot of Greek related genetics on that side like most Sicilians and Southern Italians. I do have Tuscan DNA too.
I was born with blond hair then it went red and now it is red and a light brown
I’m a north east Englishman. When I had colour in my hair I was “mousy “ with a dark/ red beard. My sister was born with strawberry blond hair. My son was blond till he was 40.
Red hair comes from the neolithic settlers in Britain
Most people in Britain are descended from the first humans who settled here after the end of the ice age. The genetics of founding populations are always overwhelmingly strong
Red blonde hair comes from the vikings the celtic people are from iberia dark hair the Norman's and English Danish Swedish vikings and Germans from England invaded Britain and Ireland
History of a fascinating people very well told! And that redhead was very pretty! 😁
So darker hair colour in Europeans, i.e. black and dark brown: is that too a product of Celtic DNA or does that stem from elsewhere?
No I don't know my haplogroup and Ancestry and Apple seems to have conspired for me not to find out as I can't transfer the files successfully. Is there any other way to do it?
I have black hair and green hazel eyes. I know a lot of other people with the same coloring. I’m from Scotland. As a kid there I knew very few people with red hair.
Even i have a little ranga in me
I’m 47% Scottish, red hair, blue/green eyes. My paternal gr grandparents came to the US from Co Armagh and my maternal grandfather came from Sweden. I also have English and German ancestry.
what about Y Haplogroup R-DF101?
R1b m269 so Bell Beaker AFAIK
Temehu and Tehenu tribes
Are indigenous Egyptian red hair and white skin people
They lived in the western half of Egypt in Aswan, Siwa and many areas and oases
Yes. In fact the entire lineage of the pharaoh 17 and 18 dynasty was a pure blood line of R1b. sites googlecom/site/n8iveuropean/home/southern-med/the-pharoahs
Temehu are the ancient native Mazigh, or Libu (Lybian) the white original inhabitants of Tamazga. sites google com/site/n8iveuropean/home/southern-med
Could it be argued that the Scots are genetically more descended from Beaker Folks than they are from Celts ? The Celticness of the Scots may be mainly cultural/linguistic.
@@cwchadwynn The Picts (who are thought to have spoken a Bythronic Celtic language) and the Norse (Vikings) mostly ended up speaking Gaelic (Goidelic Celtic language) due to the fact that the Scots (descended from the Scotti) came to dominate the other groups. After 1300 AD the Gaelic language started to be replaced by the Scots Language ( a Germanic language mostly descended from Old Northumbrian Anglian). In my first comment I meant , by Scots, all of the people descended from the historical people groups of Scotland today (Mainly the Scotti, Picts, Britons, Angles and Norse). It has been a commonly used generalisation that the Scots are Celtic ethnically. However recent DNA evidence shows that this may not be correct. They may be much less Celtic and much more Beaker.
@@cwchadwynn I said Britons, not Bretons who were of Bythronic Celtic culture. The Angles and the Norse were of Germanic culture but the Scotti were of Goidellic Celtic culture. Celtic culture and Germanic culture are both of Indo-European descent and both in part decended from the Bell Beakers. It is currently thought that the Bell Beakers who went to Scotland came from the lands that are now the Neitherlands, which was an over-lap zone with the earlier Corded Ware culture. Since the Bell Beakers culture disappeared around 1000 years before even the earliest proto-Celtic culture (The Urnfield culture) it is hard to say if Celtic or Germanic culture is closer to the original Bell Beaker culture. The whole narrative that there is a link between the Scots/Irish and ancient Israel is not backed up by any verifiable sources or by DNA evidence. Some think that this idea began with Christianity and a wish to tie in Scottish/Irish kings to characters mentioned in the Bible.
You're essentially right yes, but there are branches of R1b for example that are associated more with Celtic peoples, but as you say, Celtic is largely cultural/linguistic. One main way to define a Celt is obviously someone who speaks a Celtic language (or is from a culture that does you could also say).
@@cwchadwynn I saw a video about that, but language and genetics are not the same. Billions of people in the world speak languages that developed thousands of miles away from their own ethnic heartland. However DNA does not lie, and there is zero DNA lnk between modern people who come from an Insular Celtic cultural back ground and semitic DNA. The linguistic similarities may be a case of "parallel linguistic evolution", coincidence, or maybe due to some kind of interaction between the languges - possibly going back to the influence of Neolithic Farmers (Semitic language ?)and the Bell Beakers ? This is only a guess on my part.
@@cwchadwynn Scoti was what the Romans called the Irish. Eth. SCOTI The Scoti were the ancient inhabitants of Hibernia, as appears from notices in some of the Latin writers. (Claudian, de IV. Cons. Honor. 33, de Laud. Stil. 2.251; Oros. 1.2.) For several centuries Ireland was considered as the land of the Scoti, and the name of Scotia was equivalent to that of Hibernia. (Isid. Orig. 14.6; Beda, 1.1, 2.4; Geogr. Rav. 1.3, 5.32; Alfred the Great, ap. Oros. p. 30, &c.)
Interesting
I know that we Greeks are not celtic and you do mostly videos for celts,but do also a dna video for us Greeks.
Will do
The sss ON the end of EVERY sentence is something like the gray thone
Apparently most Irish DNA originated from Eastern Europe, a much smaller percentage is Celtic.
in my perception Celts (people who live in Scotland, Wales and Ireland) have either red or really dark hair like black
No black hair just dark brown but mainly light hair colours and white white skin and light eyes.
I'd say really dark hair is unusual and ash blond almost completely absent. Red hair obviously but still a small minority. I'd say the only really notable characteristic is the dark hair light eyes combo.
Being blond haired and blue eyed I took a DNA test out of Curiosity. 100% North West European, 78% British , 18% German/French with a maternal haplogroup U4a1 which is apparently an ancient European group, once very common, now not so!.
im an Auburn idk how tho considering im French Canadian,Polish and Czech
My German great-grandfather had strawberry blond hair. A friend of mine who is close to 100% German of ancestry also is strawberry blond. Other note: I inherited the cleft chin from my grandfather (son of blond GG-F), and my redhead friend also has a prominent cleft in his chin. It seems to be common among Germans. 👍
What about RDF5 haplogroup is that Celtic
My hair is grey. Anybody have any idea where I might come from? My dad was bald if that helps trace my roots.
Stress😭
Interesting. My recent ancestry is pretty much a map of the British Isles, but I do carry Iberian and N. African and am 41% steppe ancestry. I know my father was R1b, but I don't know the subgroup because I'm adopted.
According to the sources, most Guanche had red hair as well. Red hair is not uncommon among Amezigh.
Galicia here, named because they speak gallego, aka Gaelic, theyre also redheads with bagpipes. Iberian peninsula.

The Thracians were also known for red hair.
Great point, I may do a video on them. Let me know if you're interested in that
@@celtichistorydecoded Good idea!
Brown with Red highlights it glows Red in bright lights and Sunlight
I still have red eyebrows, they give fire to the silver....😊
"When we're obviously Scottish" Brother I thought you were Irish this whole time.
im a red head [strawberry blonde ,] with blue eyes. I had Welsh grandmother and a Scottish great grandfather, both on the paternal side of the family my maternal side had Scandinavian background [ Danish]

also i know they are not celtic but the moriori people would be interesting if there is any info on them
Dude, get a grip, your hair is not blonde it’s red, in the United States we do not call your color of hair blonde, It is more red than blonde.
My own ancestors originating from Ireland formed the Dal Riada kingdom of western Scottish Highlands and Islands commonly known as “Lord of the Isles” or McDonald clan, My family name is Mac Kean with some Campbell thrown in for good measure. How ironic considering these two clans were enemies for so long. My own hair is honey blonde, or blondish red as some might call it and my beard was a sparkly bright red with thick, wiry, curly beard hairs and freckled fair skin, but surprisingly my eyebrows were very dark, you could say they were black with black eyelashes, a very weird unusual combination of colors, to say the least, a mutt of Keltic genetics.
I am very appreciative of my Keltic culture not like so many Americans who don’t care who they are and where they came from and who could care less.
I enjoy watching your commentaries for the most part. Thumbs up 👍
His hair is blonde - Strawberry Blonde.
I am American with a majority of my Ancestors from The Highlands - Cash from the clan MacTavish. 😊
Are Galicians i Spains still existing
Celts?
Redbrown hair and grey-blue eyes
Dark blond green eyes
I was what might best be called a Honey-blond while my father was a redhead similar to yourself, my mother was a blonde
Red hair is not Celtic. It’s Brythonic. The real Celts were the non-ginger Austrians. People of Britain & Ireland mainly adopted their language and culture (to a minor degree their genetics)
Brythonic people are Celtic
Red-hair is a Celtic Irish trait 👨🏻🦰🍀 also surprisingly king tut of Egypt from thousands of years ago had Red-hair and is related to all the Celtic descendants. My take on the majority of red hair descendants originated from Babylon and a population of the scythians had red hair but also another red hair Branch migrated into Egypt North Africa then into Western Europe thousands of years ago and The scythian Descendants who migrated from east to west combined with the red-haired Gauls who migrated out of North Africa into Western Europe from the Strait of Gibraltar later created the red-haired Celts
My Husband is Scottish he is A Robertson of the Robertson Clan he has Reddish brown hair Hazel eye's and is O Rh Negative
Ooh me too! But I’m welsh, north.
I would say you are straight up red head, not strawberry blond.
Are you saying missionaries left their genetics here in Norway? Celebate prelates? Oh my!
Both my parents are lrish, Scottish and Norse Ancestry.... l have 5 siblings 3 of us are redheads and 3 of us are blonde.. l am a redhead.
