Scientists Finally Discover Irish Genetic Origins 

😂 they put the typical Angol Saxon fair-haired (Aryan) specimen in the frontispiece. However, dark brown hair is the predominant hair colour in Ireland. All the dark-haired James bonds are of Celtic stock and all the blonde blue-eyed James Bonds are of Anglo-Saxon garbage Iranian stock

No they are Jackeens.more to do with the UK

Fingal - fionn gall - the blonde foreigner.

Now the genome is mainly Africa and Asian

​@@orionxtc1119lol.

I get how all the jargon can be overwhelming. The main takeaway from the research is that the Irish population has been quite isolated for around 5,000 years, meaning there wasn't much mixing with other groups. But, interestingly, there have been specific instances of mixing, especially with Vikings and the British.The study found distinct genetic groups within Ireland that match historical and geographical regions, showing how different parts of Ireland have kept their unique genetic identities. One interesting finding is the significant Norwegian ancestry in the Irish population, which is likely due to Viking activities in Ireland. There are also mixed Irish and British genetic groups, especially in Northern Ireland, reflecting historical migrations.

Without the "jargon" it would have been 4x longer, easily. I had to really listen to hear the jargon. When you're listening to a video about what scientists have discovered about genetics you're going to hear a lot about *haplogroups* and *genetic clusters*.

thanks for the warning

@@evoinception The genetic results, it appears, simply confirm what we already know from well-documented history -- the Vikings invaded and occupied western Ireland; the Scots migrated to northern Ireland; the soldiers of Cromwell and other English occupiers have ruled central Ireland for centuries prior to independence.

@@meofamily4 not "we" , you can say "you know", many people are new to this genetics field and might want this info

God bless you! I 😅

You're spot on about the British Isles DNA showing up in ancestry results. Centuries of colonization, immigration, and movement within the region mean that genetic histories are deeply intertwined.

irish Descendant in Australia here- I have 67% Irish Dna and 33%Scottish. My father has 75% Irish, a smidge of English/Scandinavian and some scottish. My son has inherited 3% Scandinavian from me (although it doesn't register in my DNA). His father was english so his DNA is about 40% Irish, 6% Scandinavian, smidge of scottish and then english.. i can't remember the exact amounts either way the Irish runs strong in the blood of many aussies because the Irish Catholics only married other Irish Catholics. edited to say one of my lines is from Cork, another from Dublin, Crookstown, Tipperary and County Clare, and of course Antrim.

You bring up an excellent point about the genetic diversity and strength of the Irish population. The study indeed acknowledges that while there has been significant genetic mixing in Ireland, there are also unique genetic signatures that reflect historical events and migrations.The findings show that Ireland has a distinct genetic profile with contributions from various groups, including the Norse, Anglo-Normans, and other European populations.

@@evoinception Awesome comment, It really is a unique mix, I saw a tv Program recently about Irish Travellers who are considered to be some of the oldest inhabitants of Ireland, one Traveller man's DNA profile was common to Eastern and Central Europe particularly the Ukrainian Steppe where People first domesticated the Horse. Irish Travellers today have a great affinity with Horses.

@@celticm6616 you can blame Saxon England for that not the Normans! The Normans were more Irish than the Irish, you missing my point, and no the Gaelic Irish and Irish have never been Conquered and never will be

Good choice!

My mother in law is downstream of U5. I am downstream of H6. Her ancestry ties to the oldest Irish, mine ties to the Yamnaya and the Iron Age bell beakers who went into Ireland. It’s so cool to make connections to these specific aincent migrations and peoples. We sure did push west 😅

Not really. Irish are paternally R1b-L21 but Continental Celts are very varied in their ydna. Irish get their ydna from the Bronze Age Bell Beakers not the Celts.

​@@jackieblue1267Agree, the Irish have a high Indo European steppe component and the Continental Celts have higher caucus admixture more close to the Gauls

The Celts are a modern invention - In the early 18th century Edward Lhuyd came up with the theory and even if there was a unified European culture from that supposed Celtic period, we Irish had nothing to do with it anyway - Barry Raftery (1944-2010) professor of Celtic archaeology at University College Dublin, admits an enormous problem in justifying his subject: "there is no archaeological evidence for a Celtic invasion of Ireland". Over the period from about 450 BC to AD 450 when some scholars agreed that there were Celtic societies and civilisations in western and central Europe, hardly any material evidence has been found here to substantiate the notion of Celtic Ireland. There is no Celtic pottery - or pottery of any kind until well into the Christian period. Only 40-50 such swords or other military instruments are extant, six decorated brooches, eight scabbards - compared to the hundreds of thousands excavated in western France alone. The Irish language is probably much older than previously thought - so labelling it Celtic as well is also misleading. In fact, what both archaeology and genetic studies show is continuity - broadly the same people who built Newgrange continuing to inhabit the island, speaking a version of the language of the Atlantic seaboard from which they had originated. The first farmers moved westwards from Anatolia (modern day Turkey) populated the Iberian Peninsula before finally moving north to Britain and Ireland. There is no evidence of any change in genetics in Ireland until the arrival of the Vikings.

The Indo Europeans moved into Ireland during the Iron Age which is why their steppe composition is amongst the highest in Europe. They actually have a low caucus admixture which is why many of them burn in the sun and can't tan. Much of my own family are like that.

wonderful legacy you carry, thanks for sharing ...

@@evoinception thankyou 😁

What’s the difference

have you ever heard, perfection is enemy of good, many people new to genetics might find this info useful, scientific research contains many terms that i try and simplify, you really think i should wait for the perfect moment to give people this info, many do find this useful right now ....

@@evoinception I'm sure the content is brilliant, but being brilliant at what you do is a different skill to being able to teach. Maybe a way to do it is get a third party someone who has limited scientific knowledge to watch your video and then get them to explain back what they have watched. I think I heard someone say or use the expression if you can't explain what you are trying to say clearly to an eight year old in ten minutes or less then you haven't explained it clearly. I have been watching a lecturer who's videos might not be as good as yours in terms of detail but it is presented brilliantly for the lay person, I will find her name

That's a very pertinent question. The study does consider historical events, including the Ulster Plantations in the 17th century, which significantly impacted the genetic makeup of the region. The research identifies distinct clusters with shared Irish and British ancestry, particularly in Northern Ireland, reflecting these historical admixture events.

Thank you so much for doing this. It goes to show you how mixed up the west of Europe really is. It makes me feel like there is truth in the book of invasions.

@@DorchesterMom Irish are the most Indo-European country in Europe, the people go back 4000 years. See: son of manu.

definitely agree with the black Irish going further back in history, the people who built new grange were not white skinned

@@brianbadonde8700 They were Iberians, who had populated most of Europe - Early European Farmers. In Ireland, 98% were replaced by the Indo-Europeans (Rathlin man). But in Britain they made a comeback and replaced half of the Indo-Europeans! - which is why the British are darker than the Irish - Black British.

The population in Ireland from 5,000 to 3,500 years ago is believed to have origins linked to various migrations across Europe. Genetic studies suggest that there were significant movements of people during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, contributing to the genetic makeup of the Irish population.There is evidence of genetic connections between ancient populations in Ireland and those from regions around the Black Sea and even further afield. Some of these migrations could have brought influences from as far as the Black Sea region, though direct connections to Egypt are less clear.

first modern humans in Europe incl. Ireland were European hunter-gatherers who moved in during the last ice age. Then, in early Neolithic, after the last Ice ended 10k years ago, Anatolian farmers started to spread to Europe from the fertile crescent, where agriculture was invented. The whole process took several thousand of years before they reached Ireland. These people were then mostly replaced in early bronze age, the period you refer to, by Indo-Europeans, in several waves. First, pre-Celtic Bell Beakers of Indo-European origin, then maybe a 1500 year later, the Celts arrived, introducing the Iron age to Ireland. Celts were mostly Ra1 central Europeans, but the Irish have some of the highest R1b y-haplogroup %, indicating the Celts may have been a rather small group when entering Ireland, and the Irish language spread via elite adoption and not a mass scale immigration. In terms of haplogroups or even blood types, the Irish are most similar to the people of the Atlantic coast of France and even norther Spain (Basque region in particular).

Not true - most "scots" come from all over. See: Extraordinary Scottish DNA

​Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Scottish people always say that, it's rather strange.

Western Scots are the same.

I try to strike a balance between being thorough and keeping things easy to understand, but I see your point about spending a bit more time explaining certain parts. Will definitely keep that in mind for future videos.

I have noted your point ...

Ah, I get where you're coming from. The study's focus is really on the genetic side of things, looking at how the DNA has shaped up over the last few thousand years. When they mention the 3,000 years, they're talking about the genetic landscape during the Bronze Age, not dismissing the rich history. Those ancient festivals, monuments older than Stonehenge, and all that good stuff. This genetic research just adds another layer to how deeply rooted and diverse the heritage is.

@@evoinception The heritage is NOT diverse - it is anything but diverse! - can you get your head around that?

You make an interesting point, comparing modern DNA with ancient DNA from Irish kings and other skeletons found in ancient mounds would definitely provide more insights. While there are legends and theories about connections to Egypt and Turkey, current genetic evidence primarily points to migrations from Europe, especially during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. However, analyzing ancient DNA could reveal more about these potential links and offer a clearer picture of Ireland's genetic history.

which study you are pointing at , if you can post the link it will be interesting to go through ...

@@evoinception it was about 9-10 years ago. I'll do a bit of Googling.

@@clemfandango619 keep contributing to community here in the meanwhile, thanks

what exactly is your point here ?

Basically, I’ve always heard that we inherited the red haired gene from our East Asian ancestors

the specific MC1R mutation responsible for red hair in Neanderthals is different from the one found in modern humans, so yes you are right, i will look in to this for future episodes, thanks for your interest in topic and support to channel ...

@@fishybusinessco.8398 Same here, but you'd be surprised how many still believe that myth along with the mistaken perception modern humans inherited blue eyes from Neanderthals. It's because Neanderthal portrayals often show reddish hair and blue eyes, unfortunately.

There's that russian republic with highest occurence of redheads in the world.

No, the Irish are closely related to the Dufch - and they have plenty of red hair. It must have come with the Bell Beaker people. Anyway, the Neanderthrals were never in Ireland!

about the thumbnail - the remains of this individual, dubbed SK2 by archaeologists, was found with the bodies of four other people in an open space once known as Hoggen Green, researchers used facial reconstruction software to paint a vivid portrait of one Dubliner, this was in 2017

This is largely due to historical migrations and interactions, including the settlement of Scots in Ulster during the Ulster Plantations.

Haha, well met, Spartacus!

Your not

Sparticus autisticus, as in the Ian Dury song

Absolutely, it's a mix of both culture and DNA. While DNA tells the story of the many migrations and invasions that shaped the genetic landscape of the Irish, Welsh, English, and Scots, what truly makes us who we are goes beyond genetics. Our identities are deeply rooted in our culture, traditions, and shared histories. The sense of being Irish or British is very much about what's in people's heads and hearts. So, while genetics can give us fascinating insights into our past, it's our culture that really defines us. Thanks for pointing that out...

The presence or absence of Scandinavian DNA can depend on many factors, including the specific ancestry tests used and the historical mixing of populations. While some parts of Ireland, particularly the coastal areas, have shown evidence of Viking ancestry, it's not uniformly spread across all of Ireland.Donegal and Cavan, being more inland and less affected by Viking settlements compared to places like Dublin or Waterford, might have populations with less Scandinavian genetic influence. DNA can also be quite personal and specific to family history, so it’s entirely possible to have a strong Irish genetic profile without detectable Scandinavian markers.

Actually, R1a1 (or R1a) is a Y-DNA haplogroup that's commonly found in Eastern European and Central Asian populations, particularly among Slavs. In Ireland, the most prevalent Y-DNA haplogroup is R1b, which is common in Western Europe.

@@evoinception yes Gali iliri skati is brabher

The study does indicate that the modern genetic landscape was largely shaped around 3,500 years ago, during the Bronze Age. However, this doesn't mean the builders of Newgrange and other ancient megaliths weren't ancestors of the Irish. The population that built these structures over 5,000 years ago contributed to the genetic makeup of later populations.

You’re right that Ireland has some incredibly ancient sites, dating back thousands of years. Places like Newgrange, which is over 5,000 years old, show that Ireland has a deep and complex history.The study focuses on the genetic landscape over the past few thousand years, particularly since the Bronze Age. This doesn’t discount the earlier movements and cultural exchanges that shaped ancient Ireland. It’s true that the pre-5000-year history, including the movements of the Irish and the Druid class, is a fascinating and less often discussed part of our heritage. Thanks for bringing up that important point...
