      When some of the older Egyptian Pharaoh mummies were found to have red hair, it was generally accepted to be a type of colouring. Closer analysis revealed it to be natural, and scan's of the skull's showed that they were European structure; not middle Eastern.
      The information is easily found, just not widely reported. These we found in the early pyramid's

      In case you didn't know before (but I bet you did indeed) Galicians parade, along with the Asturians, at the Inter Celtic Festival in Lorient, France, every year, because their other Celtic cousins recognize them as such. Galiza calidade! =)

      @@x2y3a1j5 Thank you for sharing this! Sadly, Galicia is not officially recognized as a Celtic nation but I'm aware that we participate in various Celtic festivals. My father always believed that it was a mistake to use language as the only determinant of "Celticness" (thought he did understand the struggle to keep Celtic languages alive.) I believe there is some effort being made to revive the Galician Celtic language but I don't know if there is enough vocabulary left to reconstruct it. We immigrated to Canada many decades ago and, when I visit my family in Galicia, I rarely hear anyone speaking Gallego so I'm not sure if there is enough interest in this (to me) worthwhile project.

      @@sparklynurse Yes, you and your father are 100% correct. Our other Celtic cousins criticize we lost our original Celtic language, whatever it was. That's the only part of our Celtic heritage we lost, we have never lost our Celtic DNA or culture or music. The "Leabhar Gabhala Eireann" or Book of the Invasions of Ireland in the Gaeilge (Irish) language tells how Ireland was populated by humans who came from Galicia, from a place believed to be actual A Coruna or maybe Betanzos.
      I'm 50% Galician by my mother (I'm from Argentina, currently living in France). I can read, understand and speak Galician. It's true that today the youngest generations do not want to learn Galician, and politicians speaking Galician have a very strong Spanish accent. However, of course very Galician understands Galician perfectly, only they'll speak it among themselves for fear of being ridiculed by outsiders. If you would like to start learning a little bit of Galician, I strongly recommend you watch and listen to wonderful YT videos by Galician folk groups Milladoiro and Luar Na Lubre to start with. Their songs are very beautiful and easy to learn by heart, giving you a foothold into the language. There are newspapers with some news in Galician (La Voz de Galicia, among others) and Wikipedia articles in Galician language. You could also search for opportunities of language exchanges via internet (Zoom, Face Time, whatever) with students from Galician universities wishing to practice their English against your practicing your Galician with them.
      As for reading material, I can't recommend strong enough poetess Rosalia de Castro (and new poetess Olga Novo), and for books "O lapiz do carpinteiro" by Manuel Rivas.
      Have a beautiful weekend, you Galician cousin from the other side of the Americas!

Some of west scythian are R1b, but mainly R1a. There is also a significant presence of R1BbM88 around Lake Tchad in sub-Saharan Africa. They descend from populations that crossed north africa when Sahara was a savannah 6 or 7000 years ago.

The Scythians were well known for having lots of tattoos, as were it seems the Picts.

    Not just red hair and blue eyes, I have curly hair and beard and red skin too. The number of people in the world that look like me would maybe fill a city. It would be one hell of a party though. My ancestry is every country that borders on the North Sea plus Ireland. My Y chromosome can be traced back around 5,000 years ago to an area northwest of Paris.

    Thanks a lot for this very interesting video!
    I'm French myself but my grandparents were all four born in Andalusia, in the south of Spain. Now, if my maternal grandmother was not a redhead, she was nevertheless covered in freckles from head to toe. Oddly enough, in each generation, there is always a girl (never a boy!) who's born a redhead with light eyes on that side of the family, while statistics predict that less than 1% of Spaniards are redheads!
    As for me, when I was young I was light brown-haired and I had a few red hairs in my beard when I happened to let it grow (in my profile picture I have my hair dyed black because it dates from the time when I was an emo ^^). Now I have gray hair and an entirely white beard. I also get freckles on my nose and cheeks, but only during the first two weeks of spring, when the sun starts to hit a bit hard (I live in the south of France). After these two weeks, I start to tan and my freckles disappear until the following spring.

    Is it possible that red-haired, blue-eyed people from the Balkans or Central Asia settled about the North Sea. Since those are recessive genes, they may be more predominant in such an area which is not interbreeding with other genotypes as much as, say, Central Asia which is constantly subject to interbreeding on all sides.

My mother - dark blonde/green eyes, my father medium blond/blue eyes. The red hair comes from 2 close family members on my mother's side of the family.

    We in Ireland think we're special in this respect and maybe Scotland even more so! However, red hair is prevalent in the middle East to an extent and Russia etc.. what I think is fairly unique is Black hair and Blue eyes..

    • @x2y3a1j5
      @x2y3a1j5 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      FYI, Redhair prevalence in the Middle East is due to the fact of centuries of razzias by the Ottoman Turks all over Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Russia to capture CHRISTIAN SLAVES. All the men were castrated (90% death rate) and all the women were used as sex slaves. Even your people in Ireland got razzied and enslaved by the Berber Pyrates, sometimes full villages. Razzias were made to places as far from Northern Africa as Iceland and Norway. So, of course that 1,100 years (700-1830 AD) of a constant influx of Christian slave women made to be sexually humiliated by their fanatical Muslim captors would produce a mestizo offspring, part of which would carry the red hair genes.
      Fairly unique, because much rarer still, is red hair + green eyes: green eyes is 1% of the world population, much less common than blue eyes. Because of genetic lottery, that may happen to anyone, anywhere, there's a tribe in Africa where they have striking cobalt blue eyes. There's another tribe in the Pacific where they've developed blonde hair.

After she was born my FIL told us that her paternal grandmother had auburn hair that she dyed blond and my mother told me my great-grandmother on her side gad red hair. Both her father and I have blue eyes so that wasn't as much a shock. I find it very interesting that she benefited from two genetic mutations. Our family has a history of coming from Ireland and Scotland and I feel that explains her beautiful coloring.

The MFSD12 genes are unique to Siberian and Native American populations, the East Asian-exclusive versions of MC1R and KITG cause light skin, and the SLC24A5 and SLC24A2 genes cause light skin in Europeans and Middle Eastern populations. Given these distributions, we can assume that light skin evolved independently in different parts of the world, but it is also evident that there was mixing, creating a gradient in populations that can be seen with the naked eye.

The Slavs do not have the large percentage of red-haired people that representatives of the Volga region have. At the same time, ethnic Russians or other Slavs are not autochthonous inhabitants of the Volga region. They migrated there in the 16th to 20th centuries. In the territory of ethnic Russians, red-haired people are a rarity.

All the Christian men were savagely castrated (90% death rate) and all the Christian women were brutally used as sex slaves. This inevitably produced a mestizo offspring with a fair share of European genes. Modern Turks made it a point of "honor" (wtf??) to rape Christian Armenians and Greeks in the years before, during, and after World War 1. Those are two very well-documented history facts.

    Hello, congratulations, excellent channel, I love it. 🙂
    However, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, there is a mistake there, there is no evidence that red hair originated in Central Asia. According to the most recent genetic research, the red-haired, green-eyed Tarim mummies originate from the Andronovo culture, which in turn originated in Europe (Corded Ware Culture).
    So, maybe it was in Europe (northern Europe) that red hair appeared.
    quoting the 2022 research "Bronze and Iron Age population movements underlie Xinjiang population history" by Vikas Kumar et al:
    "To study the possible phenotypic effects of
    these ancestry shifts, we investigated predicted
    eye, hair, and skin pigmentation using the
    HIrisPlex-S system (36) on the higher-coverage
    individuals (n = 38 to 64; table S15) spanning
    all time periods. We observed the appearance
    of lighter hair color and skin tone in north and
    west Xinjiang beginning in the LBA and continuing
    into the IA. Blue eye alleles also appeared
    in these regions at least during the IA,
    with one to two early IA samples having blue
    eyes in the Yili region (figs. S29 to S31 and table
    S15). Light eye and hair pigmentation has previously
    been identified in people associated
    with the Steppe_MLBA Andronovo culture
    (37), with which several of these individuals
    are associated."
    Don't take it seriously everything on Wikipedia, because has a lot of incorrect things there.
    Anyway, keep doing this great work. I subscribed to the channel 🥰

The ANE lived in central Siberia 20 thousand years ago, although no ANE have been found to have red hair. Modern Europeans have between 9% to 25% ANE DNA, Southern Europeans 9% and Northern Europeans up to 25%.
