From the fenice Y-span-ya "Land of the forge of metals" not rabbits, all civilizations came here for metals (if you think about it is stupid to name an enormous territory just by rabbits, common in all Europe, Hispania gave the 80% of metals to Rome. Another common misconception is this: Mixtures with Arabs were prohibited with the penalty of death, by both parties, with some exceptions such as slaves, generally for harems or in high classes to seal an agreement. There is a mistake regarding the relationship of lineages in North Africa. In addition to Romans there, the three Germanic tribes expelled from Hispania by the also germanic Visigoths (foederati) and Hispano-Romans ended up in Morocco, Vandals, Suevi and Alans, these lineages may be common. So they have part of our genetics. Basques and Navarros hardly participated in the Reconquista, if you consult the INE website to search for their surnames in the south you will hardly find them. There are other reasons for finding important surnames from the north in the south; Charles III, for example, sent a large part of the rebel nobility to the south of the peninsula. We must not forget that many knights also came from all over Christendom. My family, of noble origin, arrived from Venice in 1462. Curiously, the Roman heritage is already very scarce in Spain, here the population was assimilated by the empire, becoming Romanized and only the soldiers and administrators who wanted to obtained their land dowry after military service. The majority of Spanish heritage is therefore Visigothic, by far. In Galicia you can find a lot of Breton heritage that escaped from the Franks (9th and 11th centuries), there is even a region called Britonia (Bretoña-Lugo) where there were several villages where until the 90s Breton was still spoken by the elderly.

The people who prepared those studies clearly: (1) are not Spaniards and (2) did not do the rigorous historical research. By consulting Spanish historians, they would have had all the necessary historical explanations to understand the Spanish genetic behavior. (1) The North African genetic presence in Galicia is due to a rebellion of Muslims from the Granada area against the Christians in 1567 that generated the threat of an Ottoman intervention, so, upon suppressing the rebellion, the authorities dispersed the surrendered Muslims to the other end of the peninsula, away from contact with the Mediterranean Sea and the Ottomans. (2) The Muslim groups that settled in the Peninsula after the conquest were mostly North African Berbers and, in general, very few. The vast majority of Muslims in Spain were native converts. With the Reconquest, many of these converts (muladies) gradually moved to Muslim territories in the Peninsula or to North Africa, and the newly conquered territories were repopulated with populations from the north, hence the genetic lines from north to south.
Berbers were never more than 10 to 13% of the population. Huge misconception that the Iberian peninsula was full of Arabs and berbers the former never more than 1%.

Así es, además los musulmanes no estuvieron más de 700 años en toda la península, solo en una pequeña parte, en el resto o nada o mucho menos, en el 840 ya se había reconquistado hasta el Duero. Los andalusíes eran descendientes de hispano visigodos en su inmensa mayoría, casi no hay impronta genética musulmana en España
I am a scientist and I work in genetic sequencing programs at the Principe Felipe Research Center in Valencia (Spain), and one of the things that usually surprises everyone (including me when my genetists friends showed it to me), is that although Muslims were here for 800 years, the North African genetic legacy is extremely low for the long time they were there. The main phenotypic alteration being the change in eye color, since the pre-Muslim populations of Spain were practically all blue/grey eyed and After those 800 years, the majority started to have brown eyes and also the increase in the population with brown/black hair to the detriment of the blonde population, which was significantly high, although not the majority...
That's very interesting. I am no specialist at all, but I always thought blue eyes were a mutation that happened in the Northern populations of Europe, to better adapt to the climate there. Notably the absence of sunlight. In the Mediterranean regions that mutation was not as evolutionarily needed. This is something I read. I could be completely mistaken about it. I am originally from Valencia (Spain), though I currently live in Germany. Both my parents have brown eyes and so do I, though my grandad had green eyes, which he passed down to my aunt. I am very curious about my phenotype and genetics. I don't look particularly of Celtic, Iberian, Basque, Roman, North-african or German ethnicity. Perhaps an even blend of the above? I've always thought Spaniards have a greater phenotypical ressemblance to the people from Afghanistan and those regions than they do to people from the North of Africa or the Nordic countries.
@@amado5490Yes, what you say is true. The blue-eyed mutation arose in the Nordic area of Europe, although due to migratory processes this mutation spread so fast, becoming practically dominant in the vast majority of Europe (that is why it is still the majority in countries such as Germany, Poland, the Nordic and baltic nations, european part Russia and Belaruss, Austria, north-central part of France...). Here in Iberia, this mutation arrived due to a migratory process from the Russian steppes area and became dominant in practically all of Iberia (except in the southernmost area of current Andalusia, where brown eyes were more common) . The new migrants were also mostly blonde, which is why the percentage of blonde people on the peninsula also increased significantly. As for green eyes, here in Spain they have not been very common. According to the information I have, from scientific reports I read, the period where the highest percentage of the Spanish population had green eyes was during the Celtic period, where approximately 27-31% of the Iberian population had green eyes at some point, the majority in the north-central area of the peninsula (current community of Madrid and surrounding areas). This is because green eyes are more common in the British Isles, especially Ireland and Scotland, and due to this isolation, this mutation was not so extended like blue and grey eyes. The majority of green eyes in Europe occurred due to spontaneous mutations, the result of genotypic (and subsequent phenotypic) changes in genetics, since blue became the most common in the population and brown became uncommon (since green is the result of possess blue eye color , but with some brown pigmentation, caused by melamine)

That you are a "Latino" and I am a "German", although we have the exact same DNA combination, which would suggest that we are quite likely distant cousins within the same DNA groups?

@@kakarottvegeta2897FALSE, FALSE AND FALSE. All the Spaniards who were shipwrecked between Scotland, England and Wales WERE HANGED BY THE ENGLISH soldiers. With the exception of a small group that was hidden by a Scottish nobleman, until he managed to communicate with France and from France were prepared a plan of escape. Then the group of surviving Spaniards escaped to France and came back to Spain. The Spaniards who were shipwrecked on the coasts of Ireland, were STRIPPED NAKED ON THE BEACHES by the Irish people, given their economic precariousness and after leaving them naked they dedicated themselves to MURDER them, that they were Catholics. While those who were shipwrecked in England, Wales and Scotland, their people moved by the feeling of MERCY, they welcomed them. But the soldiers of the English army beat the island and THEY WERE HANGING EVERYONE.

¿De dónde es usted concretamente? Lo que usted comenta puede deberse a una inmigración germana más o menos reciente. Tanto como lo es el año 1767. Por orden de Carlos III, se permitió la entrada de 6000 alemanes católicos, con el objetivo de repoblar Sierra Morena y evitar los continuos saqueos a las diligencias reales. Uno de las localidades fundadas por aquella inmigración es La Carolina (Jaén), en donde todavía abundan los apellidos alemanes entre sus vecinos.

I'm a Spaniard (all my ancestors for four generations were from the province of Málaga) and I got my DNA tested a couple of years ago. I have the typical ancestry of most Spaniards but I also have 7.5% Balkan and 4.5% Ashkenazi Jewish (not Sephardic) blood. I have no idea how that happened
most of the DNA tests don't differentiate ashkenazi from sephardic jewish from what I've seen (might change in the future when they have more data), so it could still be sephardic. Visigoths before arriving to Iberia spent quite a bit of time in the rest of southern europe, including the balkans, so it might have come from them
What Balkan haplogroups do you have? If it is haplogroup-I then you share this with Sardinians, South Slavs and Scandinavians. If I remember correctly haplogroup-I is one of the the first to settle Western Europe but experienced a demographic collapse in the Western part of Europe.

Hey! I'm Catalan, born in Barcelona and I'll give you an example of what you're saying, because all of what you were saying is on my DNA. First of all, allow me to give you a little context: My parents, grandparents, great-grandfathers and two great-grandmothers are Catalan. But then I have two Andalusian great-grandmothers on my mother side, one from Càdiz and the other from Córdoba. On my mother side I've got some unknown Ancestry, 'cause someone on my grandfather's side was an orfen, and someone on my grandmother's side was a bastard child from a nobal or royal family, she was adopted and she had a car that would always would follow her from a far and then when she got married, she received a huge gift and then that car disappeared. So having said that, my grandma, my mom and I did the MyHeritage Ancestry DNA Test and the results where interesting: My results were: 87,5% Iberian, which on writing included: Catalonia, South of France, South of Spain and ALGERIA. And then the area also marked Portugal, the North of Morocco and Sardinia. Then, a 7% Middle Eastern (Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon...) Which means that this comes from the Al-Andalus, it isn't just Northern Africa, in fact, that Northern Africa in my results is included in the Iberian results🤷🏽♀️. It shows that arabs from all over went there, that we have some semitic roots from different Islamic countries (mostly). And finally, for my surprise, I' 5,5% Irish, Scottish and Welsh (not English), I said that someone in my family was a royal/nobal bastard child, and the Bourbon Monarchy has something to do with Scotland for instance, I mean, James Stewart and Philip the fifth were cousins so, who knows...🤷🏽♀️ Both my grandma and my mom had similar results as me, but they hsd a higher Iberian percentage, one of them had a 9% and the other one a 97%. Then, they had smaller middle eastern and celtic percentages and they also had a Azquenazi Jewish percentage too, I didn't. Now I would love that someone on my father's side could do that test so I could figure out some more stuff, though it would probably be mostly Catalan, may be Valencian (both Iberian), French and there's a small chance that they would have some Italian as well. So there you have it. In my case, except from the Celtic part, I can say I'm Mediterranean, from the western and the eastern part of the sea. Which can also be a consequence of the Mediterranean merchants. And there is another fact, when I said I'm Catalan, it adds and extra layer of possibilities. 'Cause during the XX Century, Textile Industry was big in Catalonia and it attracted lot's of immigration from other countries but mostly from other parts of Spain, so that's where DNA Test results get more crazy and unpredictable.
My father and grandfather were born in Cuba, but before that, their ancestry goes back to Spain. Our last name is that of a municipality in Spain. Much of our family's history was lost to us after the migration to Cuba. We always just assumed the ancestry was pure Spanish. But just before my grandfather passed, we had him do a DNA test and were quite surprised by the results. It came back as around 40% North African (specifically Algeria), just over 10% Middle Eastern (unspecified), 5% Sub-Saharan African (Senegal), and a small percentage from Denmark and Sweden. When I tested my own DNA, it showed 9% North African.
@@WILD__THINGS that's incredibly high. I know a bunch of spaniards who have gotten an ancestry test and only Canarians get anywhere close to that. Peninsular Spaniards rare have anything over 3-7%.
This means your ancestors were cubans with ancestry of Africa, not Spain, or that we talk about the riff or Sáhara maybe? They were spanish territories in Africa decades ago. But definetely a 40% of north african is not a spanish dna test, nobody here has such a high proportion, maybe a 8-10% depending on the region would be considered ok, but 40%? No no, that talks about a direct african ancestry not iberian peninsula, they don't have those percentages there.
Most of my relatives from Galicia are blond and blue eyed. My wife is also from Galicia her mother and her mother sisters and cousins are blond and blue eyed, her father and her father brothers and sisters are brown hair and brown eyed. My wife is fair hair and green eyed. Close where my wife was born, there are two small villages where its population is mostly blond and blue eyed in proportions that I only saw in Scandinavia. In the other hand what I see in Asturias is a lot red haired, taking into account what scarce they are, I have two red haired close friends, and I know from school, neighborhood, at work about 20 people that were redhaired.

@@bluewolvesstudios2822 The very first Iberian hunter gatherers were blue eyed. After early farmers arrived (another migration of people) who were for the most part dark eyed the percentage of fair eyed people reduced in the Iberian peninsula and that's the base for modern iberians. I'm so tired of people assuming that having fair features must be because of some more recent non-local genetic admixture. Plenty of spaniards who don't have any admixture are blonde and blue eyed.
@@joules_sw That falls within the normal range for spaniards, mixed or not. From very Mediterranean almost north African looking to very fair Nordic looking. People assume that must be because of admixture but the admixture from either group is so small that it simply can't be the reason. The same way some Germans look like they could be from my hometown (I'm Basque, most basques don't look either Mediterranean nor Nordic, we look like most other northern Spaniards and southern French, somewhere in between) and some look swedish, the same thing is true for Spaniards, the only difference is where most people are within the spectrum which is what distinguishes countries and/or areas within countries.
I am sorry to contradict almost everything that has been said here. The analyses were carried out throughout the period in which socialism has dominated Spain and the studies are commissioned or influenced by them and do not reflect the truth or reality. The socialists and the Spanish left in general are interested in everything Islamic and North African, they are pro-Maghreb and they want to fuse us with that religion and culture. The historical reality is different, they were different cultures and different religions that were in extreme conflict, so there was no fusion except in isolated exceptions. That is the truth and not the pro-Islam policy that they want us to believe.
I have to correct some mistakes. For instance, Celts and Celtiberians are 2 different populations. Iberians and Celts made up most of Iberia's population and still do today as most spaniards descend from this 2 populations. This in turn are a mix between Hunter-Gatherer, Neolithic and Yamnaya. Iberians who lived in the Iberian coast (east and south) had a different culture to Celts (center-North) and the area where both mixed was called Celtiberians. In the English language there is this misconception. Also Arab and Berber population was very small and its genetic contribution is less than 10% just as Germanic. North African migration into Iberia is also older, as it began during the Classical period. Also Muslims in Iberia were native Iberians of Islamic faith. Muslim is not an etnicity, its a religion. The elites were Berber and Arab and the main people were natives of islamic faith fighting natives of Christian faith. On a later note, the fact Galicia has larger north-African is because in the 15th century there was a so called "Revolt" in Granada, where most rebels were expelled to Galicia.
Pero te olvidas de un hecho muy importante, la expulsión de los moriscos después de la Guerra de las Alpujarras. Aunque hubieran llevado a Galicia a esos musulmanes, habrían sido expulsado después. Si te fijas, toda Portugal tiene una huella africana mucho mayor (seguramente porque ellos nunca expulsaron a los moriscos) y como dice el estudio, los flujos migratorios en la Península se producen verticalmente, no horizontalmente. Por tanto, creo que tiene más sentido pensar que la huella africana en Galicia viene de migraciones desde Portugal. De hecho el estudio dice que los gallegos son geneticamente más similares a los portugueses que al resto de los españoles.
@@Ivan-kz1jr El aporte genetico en esa población gallega se produce en el siglo XIV, lo que indica que es de las migraciones de las expulsiones de Felipe II en las Alpujarras grandadinas a Galicia. Que hubiera un aporte de Portugueses a Galicia posteriormente, no lo niego. Pero me parece extraño, teniendo en cuenta que Galicia ha sido tradicionalmente más pobre que portugal. Tiene más lógica que fuesen gallegos quienes emigraran a portugal. Y es lógico que se parezcan por el hecho de que el repoblamiento se hace de norte a sur, entonces hay movimientos de gente de norte a su, lo que explica las similitudes geneticas. Portugal empezó desgajandose de Galicia como reino independiente. Y su dialecto del Galaico-portugués derivaría en el Portugués moderno, mientras que el de Galicia daría origen al Gallego actual.
No the Celtiberians were celts. 80% of Iberia was inhabited by celtic tribes. The so called Iberians inhabited the East Coast. Archaeological finds of the original Gladius Hispaniensis used by the Celtiberians have celtic hilt design. Celtic torcs have been found in Galicia.
@@edstar83Yes, celticiberian were celts, but Iberians not only inhabited the Mediterranean shore but the South. And what's more, their population was significantly higher than celtic's.
Another explanation for the concentration of North African genetic signals clustering in the north of Iberia is that they predate the Islamic Expansion. Iberomaurusian people were migrating to Iberia from North Africa since prehistory.
Never, but even if they had done it, the original population, let's say, remains the same, with the DNA that we already know. Those who arrived would have been replaced.
People from modern day morroco where already migrating to spain during roman times i believe already starting from the 4th century specially which still continued and only grew after the islamic expansion, these teo areas were connected into the same empires for a long time such as byzantine mauretania and byzantine spania followed by the islamic umayyad caliphate and even before that during the roman empire these are were part of the diocese hispaniarum.
@@jorgeo4483Half of Spain was part of the Carthaginian Empire before it became Roman. The population exchanges didn't begin with the Muslim conquest. Take a look at the Italian DNA mix as well. In addition to North African, they have Middle Eastern DNA as well, as a result of Rome being the capital of the Ancient world and its population being dispersed after its fall Migrations have happened in every era
@@aitorete_x Carthage, nothing of the "Carthaginian Empire" ever left Tunisia, it belonged to Rome, to the Vandals expelled from Hispania and to Byzantium - The DNA of the Romans is mostly limited to some soldiers or administrators and perhaps some fortunate ones who decided to stay or ask for her dowry wherever they were in the empire, but in general a Roman preferred to return to Rome city. There is hardly any Roman DNA left in the Mediterranean empire and even less in the north, which for a Roman was a punishment.
Sois los británicos quienes teneis ADN iberico y no al contrario, porque fueron oleadas migratorias del norte de España quienes fundaron poblaciones celtas en las islas británicas, en cuanto al ADN norte africano es residual, se da en un porcentaje muy bajo de la población y dentro de ese bajo porcentaje la presencia genética norte africana es insignificante. Durante la reconquista nuestros ancestros no se apareaban con los Invasores: los Invasores se iban o los mataban, normalmente lo segundo.

He oído una teoría que me parece consistente. Hay ciertas similitudes genéticas entre la población del norte de África y los españoles, pero la causa no es porque los musulmanes vinieran del norte de África a España, sino porque cuando los cristianos expulsaron a los musulmanes (qué previamente habían sido convertidos al Islam en España), al huir a África llevaron la genética española al norte de África. Es decir: no fue genética norteafricana traída a España sino genética española llevada a África
De eso no hay duda. Hay poblaciones en el norte de África que tienen bastante más genética hispana que norteafricana los españoles (menos Canarias) y se debe a la historia de la Reconquista y las expulsiones de moriscos.
Sea por la razón que sea, hubo mezcla y hay trazas de ello en nuestro ADN, en mi caso de hecho, no me lo marca a parte, incluyen Algeria dentro del 87,5% de Ibérica, al igual que Cataluña, el sur de Francia, el sur de de España (dos bisabuelas andaluzas).

When Berbers invaded Spain in the Muslim conquest. The Berber soldiers were recent converts from Christianity, and many spoke a Spanish like language. It was reported that some formerly Christian Berbers had reconverted to Catholicism (all of the North African states were Christian before the Muslim conquest) and went to fight with the reconquista. That is why they took refuge in Galicia.
You mix concepts. Muslim is not the same as Arab or Berber. Muslims can be Iberians, Basques, Arabs or Indonesians. The Arabs were a minor group, the bulk of the conquerors of the Muslim expansion were Berbers from North Africa. The mixing occurred and 10% of the DNA comes from North Africa... in the Canary Islands it reaches 40 or 50% because an indigenous Berber ethnic group lived there, the so-called Guanches. These multicultural events forged the character of the future Spaniards who, when expanding throughout the world, created mixed societies, as is the case of Hispanic America, incorrectly called Latin America, where a cultural and DNA influence can be seen. The Anglo-Saxon sphere, apart from being an integrating culture, was exclusive in nature, forcing other populations to move or be annihilated. Historical cases such as on the east coast of the United States where there are no indigenous people left and those who live badly in the west are on reservations, what can we say about what was done in Australia, New Zealand, India. The Black legend against Spain promoted by the Anglo sphere supported by the Hollywood industry, painting Spain as the baddest and the heroes of Anglo-Saxon origin is just a hoax that only those who are close to history can deny. It is a fact that everyone in the world will end up being the same race and Spain was the first to be a global and integrative empire.
YOU are mixing concepts, the mixing in the new world comes from spanish Catholicism, which was highly anti-muslim and you are using wrong numbers: 20% in the canary islands, barely 5% in the rest of Spain and around 10% in a few isolated places like some parts of Galicia. If by multicultural you mean the killing and expulsion of muslims from Spain, yes, the reconquista was very multicultural.

Hey brother I love your analysis and videos! Just wondering how you missed the Carthaginian colonies that were in España for centuries before the Romans? Keep up the great work!
This colonies is very few people the masive DNA of Spaniards in this era and today is Iberian etnicity ( Iberians is a " autóctonous " civilization of Spain apart the foreigners Celts and autóctonous Tartessians).
@@Benito-lr8mzthe phoenicians and the carthagineans stood in Spain for many more centuries than the muslims. And the muslims usually lived apart and didnt mix with non muslims. Also even in greek mythology the inhabitants of both north Africa and Spain are related. Plus besides the original Tartessos civilization that the phoenicians met when they got here, there are also evidences of lot of people descending from pre-indoeuropean peoples like the case of the basques. So yeah i think the video is missleading when giving so much importance to the islamic ocupation of spain in their genetics.
I am Spanish and the genetic influence is very varied due to the number of peoples that have passed through the peninsula. The inhabitants who were already on the peninsula before the Romans arrived were Celts, Iberians and Celtiberians. There were also some Phoenician and Greek settlements on the coasts. Then the Romans arrived and stayed for quite a while. At the same time, a North African people, the Carthaginians, also burst onto the peninsula. Then, with the fall of the Roman Empire, Germanic peoples such as the Vandals, Alans and Visigoths came, who are the ones who finally stayed. Then peoples from North Africa such as the Berbers arrived on the peninsula, governed by a well-known family from the Arabian Peninsula who were fleeing a conflict, the Umayyads, who stayed on the peninsula for a long time until their expulsion, but they had already left a genetic and cultural heritage. The Sardinians also had a lot of influence on Spanish genetics, especially in the eastern part, the part of the Crown of Aragon. Then after the historical stage of kingdoms and marriages when the entire territory was unified under one crown, the empire where Charles I of Spain and V of Germany ruled arrived, and to repopulate areas with low population density Charles brought people from Germany to occupy these areas, apart I don't know why but historically we have always been linked by the Neapolitan part of Italy both in a part of the empire where Naples was also part, as in a time when due to inheritance problems a king reigned who was from Naples since he was the son of a previous king and was the one who brought certain customs such as the nativity scenes at Christmas, to all this whether we like it or not there has always been a transfer of people with the border areas or closer countries, such as France, Portugal, Italy, North Africa. And then although it was not so common since the Creoles used to stay in America, some came to Spain so there may be a little bit of indigenous genetics from America,
I am from Cádiz (western Andalusia) and have E-V22 paternal haplogroup and L2a1c maternal haplogroup based on 23&me... Based on them, I have some north african DNA and even traces of native american DNA even when all my known family is Andalusian... We are definitely a mix of culture and peoples 💪

Our family paternal ancestry come from Burgos or Castilla y Leon, although our family grave is in Galicia. Heavy Celtic influence in the region. We play bagpipes, dance and march in Scottish festivals. There are some wonderful videos here on YT showing Celtic kinship with the island peoples to the North of Iberia. Histories tell of fleets of Spanish fishing vessels in Dublin over the centuries. We also believe that our ancestors visited North America as fishermen many hundreds of years before the Vikings or Columbus. After all which fisherman will tell of their best spots ? The history of earning a living from the sea is older than the age of European exploration where any mission featured large numbers of North Iberian peoples especially Basques.

It means that muslims conquered nearly all Hispania and later cristian kings had to re- conquer it. "Reconquista". Once ŵas cristian later muslim and finally cristians recovered all Hispania by war. It means that previously exist cristian kingdoms that need to be re-placed.😊
Reconquista is an historical event of Spain. Extra quick spanish history resume: Spain was part of the roman empire but after lots of struggles a germanic people (goths) dominated the peninsula a couple of centuries. Meanwhile in the middle east the muslim religion started to structurize and a series of tribal hordes (empire to be honest) invaded all of north africa and also almost all of Spain. The local population over the course of 700 years formed small kingdoms that unified and fighted with each other while slowly taking back Spain from the muslims, from north to south, until we got the spanish empire. It is called reconquista because from a christian point of view it can be seen as one

I'm a Castilian and I'd love to know exactly from where my ancestors are, but i haven't done it yet. It's very interesting how the historical events shaped the genetics of our population
I love this stuff; really fascinating. Any idea how present phenotypes might map onto these genetic histories? I know it would be generalized, but still very interesting.
The Celts originated in Central Europe, they migrated to the Iberian Peninsula where they mixed with the Ancient Iberians, the mixture gave rise to the Celtiberians, the Basques are the most similar to the Ancient Iberians. The Celtiberians of the Northwest mixed again with the Moors, giving rise to the current Celtiberians as the people of Galicia.
Although the Celtiberian populations have more admixture of Moors, Phenotypically they are more similar to other Celtic populations than to other Iberians, having the highest frequencies of hair, red hair, blonde and light eyes in the Iberian Peninsula. Other purer Iberian populations have much lower frequencies of red, blonde hair and light eyes. The Andalusians have more olive skin and lived further south, which is why it was thought that they had more Moorish DNA. Surprisingly, their more olive skin is a phenotype more related to other Mediterranean populations in Europe, such as the Southern Italians or even the Greeks.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d Basques don't have darker features than other northern Spaniards who had strong celtic influences. This is simply not true. Fair features aren't uncommon among us.
I'm Spanish and look like a "typical" Spaniard (dark eyes, hair and "olive" skin). My parents and grandparents come from Galicia, Extremadura (western Spain) and central Spain. Did a genetic test and my ancestry comes from North and Northwestern Spain (including some from Basque Country), plus a 4% from Scottland and 2% from Wales! The funny thing is that I always liked Northwestern Spain and Scottland. I played bagpipes as a kid lol It must be... in the genes ;-)

I don’t think its really sardinian, just is identifynig as sardinian some dna shared with basques. Basques are genically the most similar to sardinians.

El sesgo del vídeo es casposamente aburrido. Se presenta el mapa de la invasión musulmana en el instante, efímero, de su máxima expansión y se asocia con su presencia en la península durante 700 años, cuando la realidad es que la inmensa mayoría de ese tiempo sólo estuvieron recluidos en la provincia de Granada. Por otro lado no hay ni una sola mención a las Leyes de Limpieza de Sangre, que son el pilar fundamental para entender la genética poblacional española. Más allá, se ignora que la mayor presencia de sangre norteafricana (muy a menudo berberisca) en el noroccidente español se debe a las relocalización forzosa de la población morisca rebelde de las Alpujarras. Además, se hace hincapié no sólo en el instante efímero, como digo, de máxima expansión del islam, que fue rápidamente revertido, para dar una idea malitencionada, sino que se remarca la excepcionalidad de sangre norteafricana y sefardí de las poblaciones más excepcionales, ignorando el asunto principal: el origen genético prerromano/celtíbero de la inmnesa mayoría de la población española, mayoritariamente homogéneo, a diferencia del resto de las regiones de Europa (precisamente por las Leyes de Limpieza de Sangre). El vídeo es malintencionado en tanto sesgado en una dirección que crea confusión en la audiencia sobrerrepresendo una falsa realidad, por minoritaria y anecdótica, tanto histórica como poblacional, del tema que trata.

I am from Galicia (Spain) and with multiple family generations from Galicia too. I have recently done an ancestry test. My DNA results were: 47% Northern Spain and Argentina, 43% Portugal, 3% England & Northwestern Europe, 2% Sardinia, 2% France, 1% Northern Africa, 1% Germanic and 1% Basque.
Mainly Celtic(ancient Britains were indeed Northern Spaniards fishermen)Jews(Sefarad), German Gothics(Visigodos),and french(galos)there was NOT breeding with muslims,that is a false and interested myth.
The the small North-African DNA part didn't came through christian-muslim marriages, indeed. But it is possible that ¹⋅ North-African & Middle-Eastern populations (Christian or Pagan) migrated to Spain during Punic, Roman, & even early medieval times. ²⋅ Then, in the Umayyad Empire, some *Christian* merchants could have travelled from the Near East, Egypt & North Africa, to al-Andalus (thanks to the lack of political borders). ³⋅ It is also possible that, later, some North-African Christians fleeing Almohad persecutions took refuge in Christian Spain.
@@loicrodriguez2532 yes,there was SOME interbreeding of course but isolated low percent,too many restrictions to marriage since Religions were inter exclusives,but you are right because even now you can see differences between southern and northern spaniards,in Andalucía some breeding happens but in Asturias or Galicia (North)you can find more red haired and green and blue eyes that in Germany or Ireland..
Very interesting to see the impact of geopolitics on the genetic distribution of the different Spanish regions. There are several counter intuitive gene predominances that would puzzle some northern spaniards for sure, although those who have studied our history thoroughly will know they correspond to historical events, such as the presence of more African genes in Galicia than in Andalucia. It all makes sense. However, there are still places where migratory flows and conquest did not have so much impact, such as the Pyrenees (Northern Aragon / NW Cataluña), i guess due to the difficult access to the mountain valleys and the relatively low productive value of those regions. That was really intersting to find out as well. Great video. Greetings from the Basque Country!
I was born in Asturias Northern Spain. My parents emigrated to Brazil when I was a young child. When I was seven my parents emigrated to South Africa. Recently did a DNA test and found that my sister and I are 75percent Spanish…. 18percent Basque…1percent French…. 2percent Portuguese…. 3percent Scottish and 1percent Northern African..
No "LAND OF DE RABBITS". It has two meanings, one is that Hercules, Hispanic or Hispalo, was his son, who had him with a woman from Tartessos, current Cádiz or Seville (mythology) or the other meaning Land of metals (Phoenician origin). I like your videos. Greetings from Spain
Por que se centra tanto el video en la descendencia del norte de Africa ? si esta solo representa el 10% o por que destaca la descendencia judía, cuando representa el 19% ? que pasa con el otro 70% ? ahora es mas importante la minoría que la mayoría ? o es que aquí solo cuentan los estereotipos que tengáis los anglosajones hacia los españoles ?
That's false. "Ezpain" in euskera language (or basque language as you prefer) means "lip". And "Ezpaina" means "the lip". The suffix "-a" represents the article in this language. In the euskera language the letter Z is pronounced in a very similiar way to the S in spanish. And the union "-in-" followed by a vocal is pronounced like the Ñ in spanish. So when the basques say "lip" the sound that comes out of their mouths is basically "Espain". And when they say "the lip" the sound that comes out of their mouths is "España". If you look at a world map, you may represent the Mediterranean Sea as a bucal cavity, where the straigt of Gibraltar is the mouth. Hence, Morocco being the lower lip, and the Iberian Peninsula being the upper lip. A recent research on ancient iberian scriptures have determined that the iberian numeric system was very similar to the one used in the euskera language. And the verb "to do" in iberian (ekiar / ekien) is very similar to the verb "to do" in euskera (egin). This indicates that the euskera language have to be related to some extend to the language (or dialects) of the iberian tribes, and so are the words Spain/España.
As a molecular biologist I can assure you that there is no such thing as geographical DNA ancestry. That is an unfortunate marketing ploy from companies that openly lie about "finding your ancestry" to attract people to give them freely their DNA which is then used by real clients of these companies: pharma and insurance industries. No one should do their DNA analysis with these internet outfits. Our DNA does not work like that.
Have you ever considered doing a video on rurik the red I assume he was a redhead I also heard that the RUS in Russia and Belarus means red is that true? Katherine of Aragon Henry the 8th first wife was a redhead and she was from Spain. Sorry I’m rambling but I’m a redhead and there aren’t many TH-camrs that have put videos out on red hair
Because the mother of Katherine of Aragon was the granddaughter of Katherine of Lancaster she was sister of Henry IV of England and Isabelle the Catholic was descendant of French Royalty too. But red hair also exists in Spain because it is a genetic mutation, although it is more prevalent in northern Europe than in other places. Since the reconquest, first the Kings and then the Spaniards mixed with everything that arrived from the rest of Europe between the reconquest and passing through the Army of Flanders or merchants. They were all Central Europeans and the history of Spain had a lot of weight. It was a very powerful Empire, with the United States being the one that inherited the baton economically.
@@Paul-eb4jp If you wanted to say that you are French and think that there is such thing as "French DNA", all you had to do was to say it. Still would be wrong, but at least you would appear to have some communication skills.
I am still interested to hear what do you mean by "Roman bloodline". The DNA does not determine one's geographical or ethnological provenance. The DNA only identifies your species/sub-species. For example, there are many y-haplogroup R1b-M269 in Italy, and there also many of the same group males in Norway. The same "bloodline" but the males in Italy would call themselves Italians and Latinos, while the Norway males would call themselves "Nordic" and "Vikings" bloodline. And yet, they would both come from the same ancestry, which is neither "Roman", nor "Viking". The R1b-M269 haplogroup is a lot older than the both "bloodlines".
Good video. Your points are very much in line with the 2 largest genetics studies on Iberians and their history. Olalde et al 2019, studying the genomic history of Iberia over the last 8000 years. And then Bycroft et Al 2019, focusing on North African ancestry in the peninsula. Generally Spaniards are mostly Bronze Age Iberian and Continental Celtic (different from British Isles Celtic, which people often make associations with. This Celtic influx was more similar to modern French and people of the alps). This Celt admixture plus Iberian is the genetic make up of the Iron Age Celtiberians and Coastal Iberians (who seemed to also receive minor Celtic ancestry despite not speaking indo-European language), and both groups are most similar to modern Basques. The rest of the Iberians experienced a shift toward central and east med, starting in the Roman period. Roughly 15-25% ancestry similar to Southern Italians in Non-Basque Iberians, and it’s this lack of Roman ancestry is Basques correlated with Basques being the only Iberians to not speak a Romance Language. Lastly then also 0-12% North African, seems to be mostly from Roman/Punic and Moorish periods. Visigoths only had minor impact on Spanish genome. There are other genetics influxes but more sporadic and impacted people on individual scale rather than the whole population, like Sephardic Jewish conversos
whatta you bragga about pal Visigoths do not impacted in the population ? who are your kings ? who owns most of Iberian lands ? Visigoth families stop talking nonsense pal , Visigoths never been defeated they retreated and after retook the peninsula back today most of iberia is half Visigoths
I am Spanish from all generations that I know. I have been a native of Marbella for centuries. The general appearance of my family, we are tall, very white and have light eyes, mainly green and some honey colored. We are unmistakably Caucasian. The Vandals settled for decades in the southern part of Andalusia, mainly in the area of Malaga, although most of them went to Tunisia, a significant part settled here. The name Andalusia does not come from Arabic, it comes from Vandalucia. The Arabs called it = the vandals = Al Andalus = Vandalus
@@Hun_Uinaq all of Iberia has Celtic ancestry. Even Andalusia, the Mediterranean coast, and Basque Country. The thing is this influx of Celtic peoples that migrated into Iberia were continental celts and more similar to modern French and Alpine populations like the Swiss. They weren’t really like British Celts. British Celts descended from this same Celtic migration into Britain and Ireland who mixed with the British Bell beaker people already there. Bagpipes are not necessarily tied to British Isles. The Balearic Islands also play bagpipes
@robertolang9684 glad to hear you’re so informed of your heritage. I still assert that, as a musician with more than 30 years playing music, the music of Asturias and Cantabria as well as Galicia is exceedingly similar to the folk music produced in Ireland and Scotland. This is born up by collaborations between bands from that area and Irish band such as the chieftains. It’s extremely difficult to tell where one musical tradition ends and the other one begins when you hear their collaborations. it is very clear that they are members of a wider musical tradition.
I’m Brazilian and I’m 77% Portuguese 11% French only 7% Spanish and 2% North African. Most my Portuguese friends when tested were less than 3% north-African/ middle eastern. More of them had Jewish than Arab dna
I think much of what is attributed to Sephardic ancestry is actually Phoenician. Far earlier Phoenician influence than Later "Jewish", highly related basal DNA lineage in both.
Not really, phoenicians rarely settled in Spain, they had a commercial empire but the real impact over genetics is probably low just we also don't have greek genes (even though the phoenician impact was incomparably larger than that of the greeks that only settled two cities in the entire peninsula). Still, phoenicians were semites, so they are probably related to sephardic jews and could have seen admixture
After the bloody Morisco revolt of Las Alpujarras (Granada), the morisco population of Granada was expelled from that area by the order of King Felipe II and dispersed to North-West areas of Spain and also Portugal (1580 the Kingdom of Spain and Portugal united under the Catholic Monarchy of King Felipe). Due to the dispersion and severing of their Granada's roots, they finally became integrated as Christians. That is why you find the largest genetic North African legacy in continental Spain in that unexpected area, due to well-documented historical facts. Let's not forget that the remaining Moriscos of other areas of Spain that were allowed to remain after the end of the Reconquista were expelled to North Africa in a massive logistic effort under the Decree of Expulsion of King Felipe III. The final expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Moriscos who were considered not assimilable into Christianity took place from 1609 to 1615.
My mum is from the northern mountains between Asturias and Leon, and she and all her family are light skinned with blue or green eyes. A genetic study found she has a majority of “British isles” and Germanic/ Scandinavian genes with only 15% Iberian. I wonder what this means, as I doubt there was immigration from the British isles to Spain, rather than Celtic genes common to both British isles and north of Spain are identified by the tests as modern “British isles” as more predominant there?
I was born and raised in Italy but according to a DNA test I am 9% Iberian and 14% North African/Sephardic, which probably counts as part Spanish as well.

Although R1bs seem to be the quintessential western Celtic gene I'm actually with Barry Cunliffe on his Atlantic Realm hypothesis. I'm quite open to be corrected but there seems to be a north of the Alps flow towards Britain but also a flow from North Africa early on up the Atlantic coast and into Britain, this neatly explains the North Africa/Western Iberian genetic overlap, that was genetically subsumed in Britain by Beaker People immigration.

my theory is, in Galicia the Muslims mixed with locals and were Christianized early on so by the Alhambra decree, they couldn't of been or gotten deported.
Regarding the Galicians it is something that is taken as an error, they talk about Al-Andalus, that is, Andalus. Name that comes from Vandalus, that is, the Vandals. The Vandals were a Germanic people who crossed the Iberian Peninsula and reached North Africa, then they returned and reached Suebi Galicia and formed a kingdom called the Suebi Kingdom of Galicia.
Well they tried , but the climate here was too much form them so they didn't stay too much ...that and the Galicians were (and are) not the right people to force something or go spreading bs ,so while the climate here paid a great factor people were not so ectasic about them and ended in a silent " you leave in good terms or you leave in bad terms" which it was reinforced later on in the reconquista .

VIII ya existía el reino Asturleonés que abarcaba Asturias, León, Galicia y el norte de Portugal. Infórmese mejor.

And it is logical to think that the North African invaders numbered about 20,000 compared to more than two million people. The second error is that it is not said that the Jewish genetic footprint is much larger and is confused with the North African one. The most serious error is to identify the Muslim population with North Africans, when the reality is that Muslims, in the Middle Ages, were mostly Hispanic converts to Islam. They were called muladíes.
My wife is Argentine, and her mother's family is Spanish for the most part. There is a little French and Danish in there too. The whole family has blue eyes and very light skin. My wife's father's family is northern Italian.
Many Argentinians are very white because their ancensters come from Spain and Germany Unlike other american countries where they look very diferent from us
@@DunaEider93 Very very very few Argentinians have German ancestry proportion wise. Idk why people love to associate lighter features to non-Iberians every time someone from Latin America has them.
I am going to give a very simple explanation: in Spain there are no remains of Roman genetics, even less than in England (the Romans spent almost a thousand years in Spain); nor Visigothic, although they ruled for centuries and they say they remained in the nobility (for more than a thousand years); but the best thing, the greatest proportion of Celtic genetics is in the east and southeast (where the Islamist-Aryan Visigoths of Tingitana stayed the longest) and the greatest proportion of blood (let's say North African), in the north, more specifically in the northwest , which is where the alleged Islamists did not remain (we will call them non-Muslim Arian Christians, which explains everything better). As you can see, genetics denies the historical statement and with even greater reason they deny that there was never any reconquest, nor was there anything to conquer, if they were always the same, at least during the last 5000 years. A comment, the Anglo-Saxon world in the interest of its church and its nationalism has supported the extermination of the British population by the Anglo-Saxons (for centuries); but genetics says that it is false, because the British are still there and they are also the vast majority. It seems that Europe has remained practically pre-Roman and Spain is no exception. Furthermore, it seems important to me, Iberian genetics does not end in the Pyrenees, but remains a majority throughout the south of France, alien to all the nationalist stories told. History and genetics don't mix well, it seems. In other words, history is the greatest lie ever told, like the conquest of America, which was conquered by the Indians, in reality, an army of 300,000 warriors behind the back of Cortes, the liberator. And through this story the English-speaking world expels Spain from the world (because it is genocidal, they deny the diseases) and from Europe (as non-whites, genetics had not yet been invented) as P. Powell the Hispanist stated, in his book “Tree of Hate”, which should be required reading around the world. The English have tried it and best of all, for convenience, they have all accepted it. The conclusion is that North African genetics were maintained in the north, which has nothing to do with the genetics of North Africa today (they arrived thousands of years before, just like in France or Germany, as farmers) and on the that those Muslims (Arian Christians) had no influence, because they did not occupy the territory except occasionally. In the south and east of the peninsula (Mediterranean area) is the most genetically Celtic area and if the Muslims (Arian Christians) remained there, there they left their genetics, which is r1b1, that is, Celtic, that is, they are the same Celts that were there before. of the religious civil war that lasted 8 centuries. History developed based on nationalism everywhere, Rome that survived as the Vatican power considered that this was the history that suited itself for Spain, which did not escape its dominance in the Middle Ages, except for the Western Schism. , and which the rest of Europe decided to get rid of by creating the Protestant world, for a reason.

I'd say you need to look closer to haplogroup subclade E-V13 to understand the migration of the Iberian peninsula. Suebians, Alani, and Vandals migration influences too. The north to south pattern doesn't follow land structures like rivers, mountains, and planes. This would tell me this is how they pushed southern invaders south. The USA was conquered from east to west.
Thanks for watching! Please let me know your thoughts below and if you have Spanish ancestry...
I'm Spaniard.
From the fenice Y-span-ya "Land of the forge of metals" not rabbits, all civilizations came here for metals (if you think about it is stupid to name an enormous territory just by rabbits, common in all Europe, Hispania gave the 80% of metals to Rome.
Another common misconception is this:
Mixtures with Arabs were prohibited with the penalty of death, by both parties, with some exceptions such as slaves, generally for harems or in high classes to seal an agreement.
There is a mistake regarding the relationship of lineages in North Africa. In addition to Romans there, the three Germanic tribes expelled from Hispania by the also germanic Visigoths (foederati) and Hispano-Romans ended up in Morocco, Vandals, Suevi and Alans, these lineages may be common. So they have part of our genetics.
Basques and Navarros hardly participated in the Reconquista, if you consult the INE website to search for their surnames in the south you will hardly find them.
There are other reasons for finding important surnames from the north in the south; Charles III, for example, sent a large part of the rebel nobility to the south of the peninsula.
We must not forget that many knights also came from all over Christendom. My family, of noble origin, arrived from Venice in 1462.
Curiously, the Roman heritage is already very scarce in Spain, here the population was assimilated by the empire, becoming Romanized and only the soldiers and administrators who wanted to obtained their land dowry after military service.
The majority of Spanish heritage is therefore Visigothic, by far. In Galicia you can find a lot of Breton heritage that escaped from the Franks (9th and 11th centuries), there is even a region called Britonia (Bretoña-Lugo) where there were several villages where until the 90s Breton was still spoken by the elderly.

The people who prepared those studies clearly: (1) are not Spaniards and (2) did not do the rigorous historical research. By consulting Spanish historians, they would have had all the necessary historical explanations to understand the Spanish genetic behavior.
(1) The North African genetic presence in Galicia is due to a rebellion of Muslims from the Granada area against the Christians in 1567 that generated the threat of an Ottoman intervention, so, upon suppressing the rebellion, the authorities dispersed the surrendered Muslims to the other end of the peninsula, away from contact with the Mediterranean Sea and the Ottomans.
(2) The Muslim groups that settled in the Peninsula after the conquest were mostly North African Berbers and, in general, very few. The vast majority of Muslims in Spain were native converts. With the Reconquest, many of these converts (muladies) gradually moved to Muslim territories in the Peninsula or to North Africa, and the newly conquered territories were repopulated with populations from the north, hence the genetic lines from north to south.
Berbers were never more than 10 to 13% of the population. Huge misconception that the Iberian peninsula was full of Arabs and berbers the former never more than 1%.

Iam from Cuba, my ancestors came from many regions pf Spain🇨🇺 🇪🇸❤️💛
I am a scientist and I work in genetic sequencing programs at the Principe Felipe Research Center in Valencia (Spain), and one of the things that usually surprises everyone (including me when my genetists friends showed it to me), is that although Muslims were here for 800 years, the North African genetic legacy is extremely low for the long time they were there. The main phenotypic alteration being the change in eye color, since the pre-Muslim populations of Spain were practically all blue/grey eyed and After those 800 years, the majority started to have brown eyes and also the increase in the population with brown/black hair to the detriment of the blonde population, which was significantly high, although not the majority...
You do know that Muslims are not a race?
That's very interesting. I am no specialist at all, but I always thought blue eyes were a mutation that happened in the Northern populations of Europe, to better adapt to the climate there. Notably the absence of sunlight. In the Mediterranean regions that mutation was not as evolutionarily needed. This is something I read. I could be completely mistaken about it.
I am originally from Valencia (Spain), though I currently live in Germany. Both my parents have brown eyes and so do I, though my grandad had green eyes, which he passed down to my aunt. I am very curious about my phenotype and genetics. I don't look particularly of Celtic, Iberian, Basque, Roman, North-african or German ethnicity. Perhaps an even blend of the above? I've always thought Spaniards have a greater phenotypical ressemblance to the people from Afghanistan and those regions than they do to people from the North of Africa or the Nordic countries.
@@hotdogwater-j9m Yes, maybe I explained myself wrong, when I talk about Muslims I mean the North African population.
@@amado5490Yes, what you say is true. The blue-eyed mutation arose in the Nordic area of Europe, although due to migratory processes this mutation spread so fast, becoming practically dominant in the vast majority of Europe (that is why it is still the majority in countries such as Germany, Poland, the Nordic and baltic nations, european part Russia and Belaruss, Austria, north-central part of France...). Here in Iberia, this mutation arrived due to a migratory process from the Russian steppes area and became dominant in practically all of Iberia (except in the southernmost area of current Andalusia, where brown eyes were more common) . The new migrants were also mostly blonde, which is why the percentage of blonde people on the peninsula also increased significantly. As for green eyes, here in Spain they have not been very common. According to the information I have, from scientific reports I read, the period where the highest percentage of the Spanish population had green eyes was during the Celtic period, where approximately 27-31% of the Iberian population had green eyes at some point, the majority in the north-central area of the peninsula (current community of Madrid and surrounding areas). This is because green eyes are more common in the British Isles, especially Ireland and Scotland, and due to this isolation, this mutation was not so extended like blue and grey eyes. The majority of green eyes in Europe occurred due to spontaneous mutations, the result of genotypic (and subsequent phenotypic) changes in genetics, since blue became the most common in the population and brown became uncommon (since green is the result of possess blue eye color , but with some brown pigmentation, caused by melamine)
800 años en Granada, nunca hubo reconquista, hasta q les dio por mirar al sur. Q hay poco material genético en los españoles actuales es porque nunca pasaron de más de 150.000 del norte de África los q llegaron a la península y sí hasta q terminó su estancia en Granada.
I'm American with Spanish ancestry by way of Cuba, paternal R1b, maternal H. Locations: Cantabria, Malaga, Canary Islands, and Italian.
Spanish Lousiana was colonized by many Malaga residents. Bernardo de Gálvez, hero of American independence, came from Macharavialla, a town in the mountains of Malaga, he repopulated the interior of the USA (Spanish) with many people from Malaga.
Now consider this: I am of Germanic stock in northern Europe and have the same combination. R1b-H. Do you think you are specific to Spain, or could it be that the same people inhabited Europe wide and large? That the "ethnic" groups are a political construct of recent times (last 200 years more or less)? That you are a "Latino" and I am a "German", although we have the exact same DNA combination, which would suggest that we are quite likely distant cousins within the same DNA groups?

@@kakarottvegeta2897FALSE, FALSE AND FALSE. All the Spaniards who were shipwrecked between Scotland, England and Wales WERE HANGED BY THE ENGLISH soldiers. With the exception of a small group that was hidden by a Scottish nobleman, until he managed to communicate with France and from France were prepared a plan of escape. Then the group of surviving Spaniards escaped to France and came back to Spain. The Spaniards who were shipwrecked on the coasts of Ireland, were STRIPPED NAKED ON THE BEACHES by the Irish people, given their economic precariousness and after leaving them naked they dedicated themselves to MURDER them, that they were Catholics. While those who were shipwrecked in England, Wales and Scotland, their people moved by the feeling of MERCY, they welcomed them. But the soldiers of the English army beat the island and THEY WERE HANGING EVERYONE. If there are people with black hair in Ireland and Great Britain, it is because of the emigration of Iberians from the Iberian Peninsula (today Spain) who migrated from the Neolithic and later there, and brought the MEGALITHIC culture.

It most likely is Sephardic. I read that the DNA tests lump everything into being Ashkenazi.
most of the DNA tests don't differentiate ashkenazi from sephardic jewish from what I've seen (might change in the future when they have more data), so it could still be sephardic. Visigoths before arriving to Iberia spent quite a bit of time in the rest of southern europe, including the balkans, so it might have come from them

Hey! I'm Catalan, born in Barcelona and I'll give you an example of what you're saying, because all of what you were saying is on my DNA. First of all, allow me to give you a little context:
My parents, grandparents, great-grandfathers and two great-grandmothers are Catalan. But then I have two Andalusian great-grandmothers on my mother side, one from Càdiz and the other from Córdoba. On my mother side I've got some unknown Ancestry, 'cause someone on my grandfather's side was an orfen, and someone on my grandmother's side was a bastard child from a nobal or royal family, she was adopted and she had a car that would always would follow her from a far and then when she got married, she received a huge gift and then that car disappeared.
So having said that, my grandma, my mom and I did the MyHeritage Ancestry DNA Test and the results where interesting:
My results were: 87,5% Iberian, which on writing included: Catalonia, South of France, South of Spain and ALGERIA. And then the area also marked Portugal, the North of Morocco and Sardinia.
Then, a 7% Middle Eastern (Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon...) Which means that this comes from the Al-Andalus, it isn't just Northern Africa, in fact, that Northern Africa in my results is included in the Iberian results🤷🏽♀️. It shows that arabs from all over went there, that we have some semitic roots from different Islamic countries (mostly).
And finally, for my surprise, I' 5,5% Irish, Scottish and Welsh (not English), I said that someone in my family was a royal/nobal bastard child, and the Bourbon Monarchy has something to do with Scotland for instance, I mean, James Stewart and Philip the fifth were cousins so, who knows...🤷🏽♀️
Both my grandma and my mom had similar results as me, but they hsd a higher Iberian percentage, one of them had a 9% and the other one a 97%. Then, they had smaller middle eastern and celtic percentages and they also had a Azquenazi Jewish percentage too, I didn't.
Now I would love that someone on my father's side could do that test so I could figure out some more stuff, though it would probably be mostly Catalan, may be Valencian (both Iberian), French and there's a small chance that they would have some Italian as well.
So there you have it. In my case, except from the Celtic part, I can say I'm Mediterranean, from the western and the eastern part of the sea.
Which can also be a consequence of the Mediterranean merchants.
And there is another fact, when I said I'm Catalan, it adds and extra layer of possibilities. 'Cause during the XX Century, Textile Industry was big in Catalonia and it attracted lot's of immigration from other countries but mostly from other parts of Spain, so that's where DNA Test results get more crazy and unpredictable.
My father and grandfather were born in Cuba, but before that, their ancestry goes back to Spain. Our last name is that of a municipality in Spain. Much of our family's history was lost to us after the migration to Cuba. We always just assumed the ancestry was pure Spanish. But just before my grandfather passed, we had him do a DNA test and were quite surprised by the results. It came back as around 40% North African (specifically Algeria), just over 10% Middle Eastern (unspecified), 5% Sub-Saharan African (Senegal), and a small percentage from Denmark and Sweden. When I tested my own DNA, it showed 9% North African.
@@WILD__THINGS that's incredibly high. I know a bunch of spaniards who have gotten an ancestry test and only Canarians get anywhere close to that. Peninsular Spaniards rare have anything over 3-7%.

Usted es Americano Amerindio indígena Sudamericano...
This means your ancestors were cubans with ancestry of Africa, not Spain, or that we talk about the riff or Sáhara maybe? They were spanish territories in Africa decades ago. But definetely a 40% of north african is not a spanish dna test, nobody here has such a high proportion, maybe a 8-10% depending on the region would be considered ok, but 40%?

@@bluewolvesstudios2822 The very first Iberian hunter gatherers were blue eyed. After early farmers arrived (another migration of people) who were for the most part dark eyed the percentage of fair eyed people reduced in the Iberian peninsula and that's the base for modern iberians. I'm so tired of people assuming that having fair features must be because of some more recent non-local genetic admixture. Plenty of spaniards who don't have any admixture are blonde and blue eyed.
@@joules_sw That falls within the normal range for spaniards, mixed or not. From very Mediterranean almost north African looking to very fair Nordic looking. People assume that must be because of admixture but the admixture from either group is so small that it simply can't be the reason. The same way some Germans look like they could be from my hometown (I'm Basque, most basques don't look either Mediterranean nor Nordic, we look like most other northern Spaniards and southern French, somewhere in between) and some look swedish, the same thing is true for Spaniards, the only difference is where most people are within the spectrum which is what distinguishes countries and/or areas within countries.
I am sorry to contradict almost everything that has been said here. The analyses were carried out throughout the period in which socialism has dominated Spain and the studies are commissioned or influenced by them and do not reflect the truth or reality. The socialists and the Spanish left in general are interested in everything Islamic and North African, they are pro-Maghreb and they want to fuse us with that religion and culture. The historical reality is different, they were different cultures and different religions that were in extreme conflict, so there was no fusion except in isolated exceptions. That is the truth and not the pro-Islam policy that they want us to believe.
Yes, if this study were commissioned by the basque government, the results would be that only the basques are pure iberians.
I have to correct some mistakes. For instance, Celts and Celtiberians are 2 different populations. Iberians and Celts made up most of Iberia's population and still do today as most spaniards descend from this 2 populations. This in turn are a mix between Hunter-Gatherer, Neolithic and Yamnaya. Iberians who lived in the Iberian coast (east and south) had a different culture to Celts (center-North) and the area where both mixed was called Celtiberians. In the English language there is this misconception.
Also Arab and Berber population was very small and its genetic contribution is less than 10% just as Germanic. North African migration into Iberia is also older, as it began during the Classical period.
Also Muslims in Iberia were native Iberians of Islamic faith. Muslim is not an etnicity, its a religion. The elites were Berber and Arab and the main people were natives of islamic faith fighting natives of Christian faith. On a later note, the fact Galicia has larger north-African is because in the 15th century there was a so called "Revolt" in Granada, where most rebels were expelled to Galicia.
Pero te olvidas de un hecho muy importante, la expulsión de los moriscos después de la Guerra de las Alpujarras. Aunque hubieran llevado a Galicia a esos musulmanes, habrían sido expulsado después. Si te fijas, toda Portugal tiene una huella africana mucho mayor (seguramente porque ellos nunca expulsaron a los moriscos) y como dice el estudio, los flujos migratorios en la Península se producen verticalmente, no horizontalmente. Por tanto, creo que tiene más sentido pensar que la huella africana en Galicia viene de migraciones desde Portugal. De hecho el estudio dice que los gallegos son geneticamente más similares a los portugueses que al resto de los españoles.
@@Ivan-kz1jr El aporte genetico en esa población gallega se produce en el siglo XIV, lo que indica que es de las migraciones de las expulsiones de Felipe II en las Alpujarras grandadinas a Galicia. Que hubiera un aporte de Portugueses a Galicia posteriormente, no lo niego. Pero me parece extraño, teniendo en cuenta que Galicia ha sido tradicionalmente más pobre que portugal. Tiene más lógica que fuesen gallegos quienes emigraran a portugal. Y es lógico que se parezcan por el hecho de que el repoblamiento se hace de norte a sur, entonces hay movimientos de gente de norte a su, lo que explica las similitudes geneticas. Portugal empezó desgajandose de Galicia como reino independiente. Y su dialecto del Galaico-portugués derivaría en el Portugués moderno, mientras que el de Galicia daría origen al Gallego actual.
No the Celtiberians were celts. 80% of Iberia was inhabited by celtic tribes. The so called Iberians inhabited the East Coast.
Archaeological finds of the original Gladius Hispaniensis used by the Celtiberians have celtic hilt design.
Celtic torcs have been found in Galicia.
@@edstar83Yes, celticiberian were celts, but Iberians not only inhabited the Mediterranean shore but the South. And what's more, their population was significantly higher than celtic's.
Another explanation for the concentration of North African genetic signals clustering in the north of Iberia is that they predate the Islamic Expansion. Iberomaurusian people were migrating to Iberia from North Africa since prehistory.
Never, but even if they had done it, the original population, let's say, remains the same, with the DNA that we already know. Those who arrived would have been replaced.
People from modern day morroco where already migrating to spain during roman times i believe already starting from the 4th century specially which still continued and only grew after the islamic expansion, these teo areas were connected into the same empires for a long time such as byzantine mauretania and byzantine spania followed by the islamic umayyad caliphate and even before that during the roman empire these are were part of the diocese hispaniarum.
@@jorgeo4483Half of Spain was part of the Carthaginian Empire before it became Roman. The population exchanges didn't begin with the Muslim conquest.
Take a look at the Italian DNA mix as well. In addition to North African, they have Middle Eastern DNA as well, as a result of Rome being the capital of the Ancient world and its population being dispersed after its fall
Migrations have happened in every era
@@aitorete_x Carthage, nothing of the "Carthaginian Empire" ever left Tunisia, it belonged to Rome, to the Vandals expelled from Hispania and to Byzantium - The DNA of the Romans is mostly limited to some soldiers or administrators and perhaps some fortunate ones who decided to stay or ask for her dowry wherever they were in the empire, but in general a Roman preferred to return to Rome city. There is hardly any Roman DNA left in the Mediterranean empire and even less in the north, which for a Roman was a punishment.
@@Neilos-sd6ti During roman times there were nobody in Morocco, just nomads and romans.

Sois los británicos quienes teneis ADN iberico y no al contrario, porque fueron oleadas migratorias del norte de España quienes fundaron poblaciones celtas en las islas británicas, en cuanto al ADN norte africano es residual, se da en un porcentaje muy bajo de la población y dentro de ese bajo porcentaje la presencia genética norte africana es insignificante. Durante la reconquista nuestros ancestros no se apareaban con los Invasores: los Invasores se iban o los mataban, normalmente lo segundo.

White. End of argument!
He oído una teoría que me parece consistente. Hay ciertas similitudes genéticas entre la población del norte de África y los españoles, pero la causa no es porque los musulmanes vinieran del norte de África a España, sino porque cuando los cristianos expulsaron a los musulmanes (qué previamente habían sido convertidos al Islam en España), al huir a África llevaron la genética española al norte de África. Es decir: no fue genética norteafricana traída a España sino genética española llevada a África
De eso no hay duda. Hay poblaciones en el norte de África que tienen bastante más genética hispana que norteafricana los españoles (menos Canarias) y se debe a la historia de la Reconquista y las expulsiones de moriscos.
Muy interesante
Sea por la razón que sea, hubo mezcla y hay trazas de ello en nuestro ADN, en mi caso de hecho, no me lo marca a parte, incluyen Algeria dentro del 87,5% de Ibérica, al igual que Cataluña, el sur de Francia, el sur de de España (dos bisabuelas andaluzas). Y la franja (no por escrito) marca también Portugal, el norte de Marruecos y también Sardeña.
Pero lo interesante es que en mi caso también soy un 7% del medio oriente (Egipto, Israel, Palestina, Siria, Iraq, Líbano, Arabia Saudita...) y mi sorpresa fue el 5,5% de Irlanda, Escocia y Gales.
The Romans moved to North Africa, and centuries later the Vandals also, and not the other way around.
This "small" detail is often ignored.

When Berbers invaded Spain in the Muslim conquest. The Berber soldiers were recent converts from Christianity, and many spoke a Spanish like language. It was reported that some formerly Christian Berbers had reconverted to Catholicism (all of the North African states were Christian before the Muslim conquest) and went to fight with the reconquista. That is why they took refuge in Galicia.
Esto es falso. Los moros no se convirtieron al cristianismo nunca, ya que vinieron a la peninsula ibérica como invasores.
You mix concepts. Muslim is not the same as Arab or Berber. Muslims can be Iberians, Basques, Arabs or Indonesians. The Arabs were a minor group, the bulk of the conquerors of the Muslim expansion were Berbers from North Africa. The mixing occurred and 10% of the DNA comes from North Africa... in the Canary Islands it reaches 40 or 50% because an indigenous Berber ethnic group lived there, the so-called Guanches. These multicultural events forged the character of the future Spaniards who, when expanding throughout the world, created mixed societies, as is the case of Hispanic America, incorrectly called Latin America, where a cultural and DNA influence can be seen. The Anglo-Saxon sphere, apart from being an integrating culture, was exclusive in nature, forcing other populations to move or be annihilated. Historical cases such as on the east coast of the United States where there are no indigenous people left and those who live badly in the west are on reservations, what can we say about what was done in Australia, New Zealand, India. The Black legend against Spain promoted by the Anglo sphere supported by the Hollywood industry, painting Spain as the baddest and the heroes of Anglo-Saxon origin is just a hoax that only those who are close to history can deny. It is a fact that everyone in the world will end up being the same race and Spain was the first to be a global and integrative empire.
YOU are mixing concepts, the mixing in the new world comes from spanish Catholicism, which was highly anti-muslim and you are using wrong numbers: 20% in the canary islands, barely 5% in the rest of Spain and around 10% in a few isolated places like some parts of Galicia. If by multicultural you mean the killing and expulsion of muslims from Spain, yes, the reconquista was very multicultural.

Desde que se conquista todo el Reino de Valencia (1245) hasta que se expulsan los moriscos (1610), que suponían de forma fluctuante en torno al 30% de la población del Reino, pasan 365 años. Es decir que sí, durante el siglo XVI, que es cuando se produce la conquista de América, la sociedad de lo que podríamos llamar España era extremadamente multicultural. Eso no quiere decir que las distintas culturas se diesen besitos entre sí como lo intentan vender otras narrativas. Lo que sí que se especificó inmediatamente tras la conquista fue: 1) conversión forzosa de judíos y musulmanes [Aclaración: gran parte de la población musulmana de Al-Ándalus era de la misma rama genética de los reinos cristianos porque religión/cultura y genética no es lo mismo y la conquista de los Omeyas no supuso la sustitución poblacional] 2) Se establece la Inquisición para asegurar que la conversión religiosa no es falsa. 3) Se establece que los únicos que pueden ir a poblar América son "cristianos viejos" castellanos

Hey brother I love your analysis and videos! Just wondering how you missed the Carthaginian colonies that were in España for centuries before the Romans? Keep up the great work!
This colonies is very few people the masive DNA of Spaniards in this era and today is Iberian etnicity ( Iberians is a " autóctonous " civilization of Spain apart the foreigners Celts and autóctonous Tartessians).
@Benito-lr8mz oh ok just because these colonies ended up becoming major cities and to this day are still inhabited, such as Cadiz. But thank you
@@Benito-lr8mzthe phoenicians and the carthagineans stood in Spain for many more centuries than the muslims. And the muslims usually lived apart and didnt mix with non muslims.
Also even in greek mythology the inhabitants of both north Africa and Spain are related.
Plus besides the original Tartessos civilization that the phoenicians met when they got here, there are also evidences of lot of people descending from pre-indoeuropean peoples like the case of the basques.
So yeah i think the video is missleading when giving so much importance to the islamic ocupation of spain in their genetics.
Just have a look at arturo perez reverte
@@Benito-lr8mztartessians were iberians
I am Spanish and the genetic influence is very varied due to the number of peoples that have passed through the peninsula. The inhabitants who were already on the peninsula before the Romans arrived were Celts, Iberians and Celtiberians. There were also some Phoenician and Greek settlements on the coasts. Then the Romans arrived and stayed for quite a while. At the same time, a North African people, the Carthaginians, also burst onto the peninsula. Then, with the fall of the Roman Empire, Germanic peoples such as the Vandals, Alans and Visigoths came, who are the ones who finally stayed. Then peoples from North Africa such as the Berbers arrived on the peninsula, governed by a well-known family from the Arabian Peninsula who were fleeing a conflict, the Umayyads, who stayed on the peninsula for a long time until their expulsion, but they had already left a genetic and cultural heritage. The Sardinians also had a lot of influence on Spanish genetics, especially in the eastern part, the part of the Crown of Aragon. Then after the historical stage of kingdoms and marriages when the entire territory was unified under one crown, the empire where Charles I of Spain and V of Germany ruled arrived, and to repopulate areas with low population density Charles brought people from Germany to occupy these areas, apart I don't know why but historically we have always been linked by the Neapolitan part of Italy both in a part of the empire where Naples was also part, as in a time when due to inheritance problems a king reigned who was from Naples since he was the son of a previous king and was the one who brought certain customs such as the nativity scenes at Christmas, to all this whether we like it or not there has always been a transfer of people with the border areas or closer countries, such as France, Portugal, Italy, North Africa. And then although it was not so common since the Creoles used to stay in America, some came to Spain so there may be a little bit of indigenous genetics from America,

Our family paternal ancestry come from Burgos or Castilla y Leon, although our family grave is in Galicia. Heavy Celtic influence in the region. We play bagpipes, dance and march in Scottish festivals. There are some wonderful videos here on YT showing Celtic kinship with the island peoples to the North of Iberia. Histories tell of fleets of Spanish fishing vessels in Dublin over the centuries. We also believe that our ancestors visited North America as fishermen many hundreds of years before the Vikings or Columbus. After all which fisherman will tell of their best spots ? The history of earning a living from the sea is older than the age of European exploration where any mission featured large numbers of North Iberian peoples especially Basques.

My god.... Is it so hard to understand what means "reconquista"???
reconquest?
It means that muslims conquered nearly all Hispania and later cristian kings had to re- conquer it. "Reconquista". Once ŵas cristian later muslim and finally cristians recovered all Hispania by war. It means that previously exist cristian kingdoms that need to be re-placed.😊
Whats your point?
Reconquista is an historical event of Spain.
Extra quick spanish history resume:
Spain was part of the roman empire but after lots of struggles a germanic people (goths) dominated the peninsula a couple of centuries.
Meanwhile in the middle east the muslim religion started to structurize and a series of tribal hordes (empire to be honest) invaded all of north africa and also almost all of Spain. The local population over the course of 700 years formed small kingdoms that unified and fighted with each other while slowly taking back Spain from the muslims, from north to south, until we got the spanish empire.
It is called reconquista because from a christian point of view it can be seen as one

I'm a Castilian and I'd love to know exactly from where my ancestors are, but i haven't done it yet. It's very interesting how the historical events shaped the genetics of our population
I love this stuff; really fascinating. Any idea how present phenotypes might map onto these genetic histories? I know it would be generalized, but still very interesting.
The Celts originated in Central Europe, they migrated to the Iberian Peninsula where they mixed with the Ancient Iberians, the mixture gave rise to the Celtiberians, the Basques are the most similar to the Ancient Iberians. The Celtiberians of the Northwest mixed again with the Moors, giving rise to the current Celtiberians as the people of Galicia.
Although the Celtiberian populations have more admixture of Moors, Phenotypically they are more similar to other Celtic populations than to other Iberians, having the highest frequencies of hair, red hair, blonde and light eyes in the Iberian Peninsula. Other purer Iberian populations have much lower frequencies of red, blonde hair and light eyes. The Andalusians have more olive skin and lived further south, which is why it was thought that they had more Moorish DNA. Surprisingly, their more olive skin is a phenotype more related to other Mediterranean populations in Europe, such as the Southern Italians or even the Greeks.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d Basques don't have darker features than other northern Spaniards who had strong celtic influences. This is simply not true. Fair features aren't uncommon among us.

El sesgo del vídeo es casposamente aburrido.
Se presenta el mapa de la invasión musulmana en el instante, efímero, de su máxima expansión y se asocia con su presencia en la península durante 700 años, cuando la realidad es que la inmensa mayoría de ese tiempo sólo estuvieron recluidos en la provincia de Granada. Por otro lado no hay ni una sola mención a las Leyes de Limpieza de Sangre, que son el pilar fundamental para entender la genética poblacional española. Más allá, se ignora que la mayor presencia de sangre norteafricana (muy a menudo berberisca) en el noroccidente español se debe a las relocalización forzosa de la población morisca rebelde de las Alpujarras.
Además, se hace hincapié no sólo en el instante efímero, como digo, de máxima expansión del islam, que fue rápidamente revertido, para dar una idea malitencionada, sino que se remarca la excepcionalidad de sangre norteafricana y sefardí de las poblaciones más excepcionales, ignorando el asunto principal: el origen genético prerromano/celtíbero de la inmnesa mayoría de la población española, mayoritariamente homogéneo, a diferencia del resto de las regiones de Europa (precisamente por las Leyes de Limpieza de Sangre).

I am from Galicia (Spain) and with multiple family generations from Galicia too. I have recently done an ancestry test. My DNA results were: 47% Northern Spain and Argentina, 43% Portugal, 3% England & Northwestern Europe, 2% Sardinia, 2% France, 1% Northern Africa, 1% Germanic and 1% Basque.
Mainly Celtic(ancient Britains were indeed Northern Spaniards fishermen)Jews(Sefarad), German Gothics(Visigodos),and french(galos)there was NOT breeding with muslims,that is a false and interested myth.
The the small North-African DNA part didn't came through christian-muslim marriages, indeed. But it is possible that ¹⋅ North-African & Middle-Eastern populations (Christian or Pagan) migrated to Spain during Punic, Roman, & even early medieval times. ²⋅ Then, in the Umayyad Empire, some *Christian* merchants could have travelled from the Near East, Egypt & North Africa, to al-Andalus (thanks to the lack of political borders). ³⋅ It is also possible that, later, some North-African Christians fleeing Almohad persecutions took refuge in Christian Spain.
@@loicrodriguez2532 yes,there was SOME interbreeding of course but isolated low percent,too many restrictions to marriage since Religions were inter exclusives,but you are right because even now you can see differences between southern and northern spaniards,in Andalucía some breeding happens but in Asturias or Galicia (North)you can find more red haired and green and blue eyes that in Germany or Ireland..
Very interesting to see the impact of geopolitics on the genetic distribution of the different Spanish regions. There are several counter intuitive gene predominances that would puzzle some northern spaniards for sure, although those who have studied our history thoroughly will know they correspond to historical events, such as the presence of more African genes in Galicia than in Andalucia. It all makes sense.
However, there are still places where migratory flows and conquest did not have so much impact, such as the Pyrenees (Northern Aragon / NW Cataluña), i guess due to the difficult access to the mountain valleys and the relatively low productive value of those regions. That was really intersting to find out as well.

Spain is actually known as the “land of bronze,” NOT rabbits, as that is a mistranslation from Phoenician.
interesting
rabbits is more likely
That's false.
"Ezpain" in euskera language (or basque language as you prefer) means "lip".
And "Ezpaina" means "the lip". The suffix "-a" represents the article in this language.
In the euskera language the letter Z is pronounced in a very similiar way to the S in spanish.
And the union "-in-" followed by a vocal is pronounced like the Ñ in spanish.
So when the basques say "lip" the sound that comes out of their mouths is basically "Espain".
And when they say "the lip" the sound that comes out of their mouths is "España".
If you look at a world map, you may represent the Mediterranean Sea as a bucal cavity, where the straigt of Gibraltar is the mouth. Hence, Morocco being the lower lip, and the Iberian Peninsula being the upper lip.
A recent research on ancient iberian scriptures have determined that the iberian numeric system was very similar to the one used in the euskera language. And the verb "to do" in iberian (ekiar / ekien) is very similar to the verb "to do" in euskera (egin). This indicates that the euskera language have to be related to some extend to the language (or dialects) of the iberian tribes, and so are the words Spain/España.

That is an unfortunate marketing ploy from companies that openly lie about "finding your ancestry" to attract people to give them freely their DNA which is then used by real clients of these companies: pharma and insurance industries.
No one should do their DNA analysis with these internet outfits. Our DNA does not work like that.

Have you ever considered doing a video on rurik the red I assume he was a redhead
I also heard that the RUS in Russia and Belarus means red is that true? Katherine of Aragon Henry the 8th first wife was a redhead and she was from Spain. Sorry I’m rambling but I’m a redhead and there aren’t many TH-camrs that have put videos out on red hair
Because the mother of Katherine of Aragon was the granddaughter of Katherine of Lancaster she was sister of Henry IV of England and Isabelle the Catholic was descendant of French Royalty too. But red hair also exists in Spain because it is a genetic mutation, although it is more prevalent in northern Europe than in other places.
Since the reconquest, first the Kings and then the Spaniards mixed with everything that arrived from the rest of Europe between the reconquest and passing through the Army of Flanders or merchants. They were all Central Europeans and the history of Spain had a lot of weight. It was a very powerful Empire, with the United States being the one that inherited the baton economically.

I am still interested to hear what do you mean by "Roman bloodline". The DNA does not determine one's geographical or ethnological provenance. The DNA only identifies your species/sub-species. For example, there are many y-haplogroup R1b-M269 in Italy, and there also many of the same group males in Norway. The same "bloodline" but the males in Italy would call themselves Italians and Latinos, while the Norway males would call themselves "Nordic" and "Vikings" bloodline. And yet, they would both come from the same ancestry, which is neither "Roman", nor "Viking". The R1b-M269 haplogroup is a lot older than the both "bloodlines".

Good video. Your points are very much in line with the 2 largest genetics studies on Iberians and their history. Olalde et al 2019, studying the genomic history of Iberia over the last 8000 years. And then Bycroft et Al 2019, focusing on North African ancestry in the peninsula. Generally Spaniards are mostly Bronze Age Iberian and Continental Celtic (different from British Isles Celtic, which people often make associations with. This Celtic influx was more similar to modern French and people of the alps). This Celt admixture plus Iberian is the genetic make up of the Iron Age Celtiberians and Coastal Iberians (who seemed to also receive minor Celtic ancestry despite not speaking indo-European language), and both groups are most similar to modern Basques. The rest of the Iberians experienced a shift toward central and east med, starting in the Roman period. Roughly 15-25% ancestry similar to Southern Italians in Non-Basque Iberians, and it’s this lack of Roman ancestry is Basques correlated with Basques being the only Iberians to not speak a Romance Language. Lastly then also 0-12% North African, seems to be mostly from Roman/Punic and Moorish periods. Visigoths only had minor impact on Spanish genome. There are other genetics influxes but more sporadic and impacted people on individual scale rather than the whole population, like Sephardic Jewish conversos
whatta you bragga about pal Visigoths do not impacted in the population ? who are your kings ? who owns most of Iberian lands ? Visigoth families stop talking nonsense pal , Visigoths never been defeated they retreated and after retook the peninsula back today most of iberia is half Visigoths

@@Hun_Uinaq all of Iberia has Celtic ancestry. Even Andalusia, the Mediterranean coast, and Basque Country. The thing is this influx of Celtic peoples that migrated into Iberia were continental celts and more similar to modern French and Alpine populations like the Swiss. They weren’t really like British Celts. British Celts descended from this same Celtic migration into Britain and Ireland who mixed with the British Bell beaker people already there.
Bagpipes are not necessarily tied to British Isles. The Balearic Islands also play bagpipes
@robertolang9684 glad to hear you’re so informed of your heritage. I still assert that, as a musician with more than 30 years playing music, the music of Asturias and Cantabria as well as Galicia is exceedingly similar to the folk music produced in Ireland and Scotland. This is born up by collaborations between bands from that area and Irish band such as the chieftains. It’s extremely difficult to tell where one musical tradition ends and the other one begins when you hear their collaborations. it is very clear that they are members of a wider musical tradition.

After the bloody Morisco revolt of Las Alpujarras (Granada), the morisco population of Granada was expelled from that area by the order of King Felipe II and dispersed to North-West areas of Spain and also Portugal (1580 the Kingdom of Spain and Portugal united under the Catholic Monarchy of King Felipe). Due to the dispersion and severing of their Granada's roots, they finally became integrated as Christians. That is why you find the largest genetic North African legacy in continental Spain in that unexpected area, due to well-documented historical facts. Let's not forget that the remaining Moriscos of other areas of Spain that were allowed to remain after the end of the Reconquista were expelled to North Africa in a massive logistic effort under the Decree of Expulsion of King Felipe III. The final expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Moriscos who were considered not assimilable into Christianity took place from 1609 to 1615.

Although R1bs seem to be the quintessential western Celtic gene I'm actually with Barry Cunliffe on his Atlantic Realm hypothesis. I'm quite open to be corrected but there seems to be a north of the Alps flow towards Britain but also a flow from North Africa early on up the Atlantic coast and into Britain, this neatly explains the North Africa/Western Iberian genetic overlap, that was genetically subsumed in Britain by Beaker People immigration.

my theory is, in Galicia the Muslims mixed with locals and were Christianized early on so by the Alhambra decree, they couldn't of been or gotten deported.
Fact
Regarding the Galicians it is something that is taken as an error, they talk about Al-Andalus, that is, Andalus. Name that comes from Vandalus, that is, the Vandals. The Vandals were a Germanic people who crossed the Iberian Peninsula and reached North Africa, then they returned and reached Suebi Galicia and formed a kingdom called the Suebi Kingdom of Galicia.
Well they tried , but the climate here was too much form them so they didn't stay too much ...that and the Galicians were (and are) not the right people to force something or go spreading bs ,so while the climate here paid a great factor people were not so ectasic about them and ended in a silent " you leave in good terms or you leave in bad terms" which it was reinforced later on in the reconquista .

Great content!
Europe and America are not Muslim for Spain. You are welcome.
Hello, I'm Spaniard and I'm very fond of history.
Well the video is interesting. But he makes several mistakes.
Firstly, the North African genetic footprint is extremely low. And it is logical to think that the North African invaders numbered about 20,000 compared to more than two million people.
The second error is that it is not said that the Jewish genetic footprint is much larger and is confused with the North African one.
The most serious error is to identify the Muslim population with North Africans, when the reality is that Muslims, in the Middle Ages, were mostly Hispanic converts to Islam. They were called muladíes.

There’s a mistake in Wikipedia. The celts inhabited the central North-WESTERN part of Spain. Iberian people were Eastern Mediterranean.
I am going to give a very simple explanation: in Spain there are no remains of Roman genetics, even less than in England (the Romans spent almost a thousand years in Spain); nor Visigothic, although they ruled for centuries and they say they remained in the nobility (for more than a thousand years); but the best thing, the greatest proportion of Celtic genetics is in the east and southeast (where the Islamist-Aryan Visigoths of Tingitana stayed the longest) and the greatest proportion of blood (let's say North African), in the north, more specifically in the northwest , which is where the alleged Islamists did not remain (we will call them non-Muslim Arian Christians, which explains everything better).
As you can see, genetics denies the historical statement and with even greater reason they deny that there was never any reconquest, nor was there anything to conquer, if they were always the same, at least during the last 5000 years.
A comment, the Anglo-Saxon world in the interest of its church and its nationalism has supported the extermination of the British population by the Anglo-Saxons (for centuries); but genetics says that it is false, because the British are still there and they are also the vast majority. It seems that Europe has remained practically pre-Roman and Spain is no exception.
Furthermore, it seems important to me, Iberian genetics does not end in the Pyrenees, but remains a majority throughout the south of France, alien to all the nationalist stories told. History and genetics don't mix well, it seems. In other words, history is the greatest lie ever told, like the conquest of America, which was conquered by the Indians, in reality, an army of 300,000 warriors behind the back of Cortes, the liberator.
And through this story the English-speaking world expels Spain from the world (because it is genocidal, they deny the diseases) and from Europe (as non-whites, genetics had not yet been invented) as P. Powell the Hispanist stated, in his book “Tree of Hate”, which should be required reading around the world. The English have tried it and best of all, for convenience, they have all accepted it.
The conclusion is that North African genetics were maintained in the north, which has nothing to do with the genetics of North Africa today (they arrived thousands of years before, just like in France or Germany, as farmers) and on the that those Muslims (Arian Christians) had no influence, because they did not occupy the territory except occasionally. In the south and east of the peninsula (Mediterranean area) is the most genetically Celtic area and if the Muslims (Arian Christians) remained there, there they left their genetics, which is r1b1, that is, Celtic, that is, they are the same Celts that were there before. of the religious civil war that lasted 8 centuries.
History developed based on nationalism everywhere, Rome that survived as the Vatican power considered that this was the history that suited itself for Spain, which did not escape its dominance in the Middle Ages, except for the Western Schism. , and which the rest of Europe decided to get rid of by creating the Protestant world, for a reason.
