What’s the genetic history of the British Isles and what impact did the Romans, the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans have on its genetic make-up? The People of the British Isles study, led by researchers from the University of Oxford, set out to answer this question. They took DNA samples of UK and European volunteers to identify clear traces of population movements into the UK over the past 10,000 years. They found 17 clusters of individuals that had similarities in their DNA that matched remarkably well with their geographical locations. The major findings of the study were that:
The Anglo-Saxons made a noticeable impression on the genetics of much of England but they did not completely wipe out earlier settlers. Groups of Angles and Saxons from ancient Germany and Denmark migrated over to Britain beginning in the 5th century after the Romans left. The genetic map of Britain shows that most of the eastern, central and southern parts of England form a single genetic group with between 10 and 40 per cent Anglo-Saxon ancestry. However, people in this cluster also retained DNA from earlier settlers. The invaders did not wipe out the existing population; instead, they seem to have integrated and intermarried with them.
What impact did the Vikings have? Although highly influential militarily, politically, linguistically and culturally, there is no obvious genetic signature in England from the Danelaw period. In Orkney however, there is a remarkable genetic legacy. The population in Orkney emerged as the most genetically distinct, with 25% of DNA coming from Norwegian ancestors. This shows that the Norse Viking invasion (9th century) did not simply replace the indigenous Orkney population however, but intermarried with the indigenous Pictish population. More broadly, there was a notable Norwegian signal in all Scottish and Northern Irish samples, however this was less pronounced in Northern England, and even less so in Wales. The most different of all the clusters from the rest of the UK was Orkney, what clearly corresponds to the existence of a Norse Viking Earldom in Orkney from 875 to 1472.
The genetic evidence indicates that people from Wales are most closely related to the Palaeolithic settlers who first moved across from Europe as the ice receded. These first settlers following the last ice age spread across the British Isles, but people in England, Scotland and Ireland were more impacted by later migration and invasions than Wales. Thus, the Welsh are the most genetically similar to the earliest settlers of the British Isles after the last ice age than any other group in the study. There was however a genetic split between north Wales and south Wales.

The People that compromised Dal Riata were the Scoti Clans, who x amount of their Ancestors portrayed in the Declaration of Arbraoth (like all Ross' of Scottish Origins Ancestor the Chief of the Great Clan Ross the Earl of Ross was 4th to Seal) that we are Sycthian and had 113 (130?) Scoti Kings of an unbroken line and leaving off with stopping there and Simply Citing the Story of our People basically for more. The Scoti Clans invaded that tip of Northern Ireland, coming from Spain which they migrated too x amount before, and than from there to their holdings in the North Western Low Lands and South Western Highlands, eventually with the Picts crushed between them and the Vikings and with the Scoti Clans absorbing the Picts, and finally subduing to intergrating the Vikings by the time of the once War Master of Scotland, Chief of Clan Arias (Anrias/ soon to be the Great Clan Ross), Husband to the Queen of Mann, Cousin to the Laird of the Isle and King Malcom, the 1st Earl of Ross Fearchar, the Son of the Priest, who as War Master (Thane) and his personal Army and Personal Armada, and his Cousin the Kings Troops took out the Viking Lairds in and around Scotland taking their lands and gold, expanding Ross-shire the Earldom of Ross and making who would be known as the Ross' the most richest and power Family in the Highlands for Generations. We are not Irish because you so Fancy it, and you will not over turn the History of the Scoti for Irish Vanity and a long standing Grudge!

@randyross5630 Год назад

Let me clearly explain something, Kings on Average have more kids surviving to adulthood than Septs, Commoners to the Conquered and the whole bit, same with the offspring of Kings and their offspring, so when in the Declaration of Arbraoth the Scoti Leaders are telling you we had 113 Kings, that's allot of people in the end, why you have Clan MacGregor Moto as Royal is my Race, because they are all the Descendants of Kings, and since there was 113 of them, and all there kids have kids, and so forth, it becomes a fair amount of people and the Hierarchy of the Orginal Invading Scoti Clans. So when all those Earls (like the Earl of Ross my and other Ross' of Scottish Origins Ancestor because the 1st Official Ross was the Chief of the Great Clan Ross The 4th Earl of Ross Hugh Ross 1st to take on the Surname once protected by law) and Barron's signed the Declaration of Arbraoth, all those of Scoti Origins, were basically also saying without saying those our are Ancestor, and when it says we crossed the Red Sea with Moses, you know what I'm not going to tell you everyone in the Scoti Clans did that because we adopted generics from Ireland as well I assume all the places before, but we should know the Bloodline of the Sycthian Kings did, who the Declaration of Arbraoth is saying are the Scoti Kings (less than 20 years a Kingship to the Beginning of Sycthia) or are an offshoot from which one would assume starts count if that was the case at the Sycthian Prince that Married Egyptian Princess Scotia. And since the people on top back in the day had higher Population Growth than people on the bottom, a far amount of people orginating from the Scoti Clans litteraly crossed the Red Sea with Moses or come from the exact Kings in Question. And see there was a cited of Scythia in Israel or Judea that was Destroyed, selectively by the some other empire, I forget which, and right after that the Sycthian Empire was formed, from Royal Sycthia to the Pacific! And you are not going to tell a bunch of Ancient Egyptians who became the Scythian Kings who became the Scoti Kings who make up a fair enough portion of the part of the Scottish Population that were the Orginal Scoti Clans, that we are Irish in Origin, as you erase our History directly told in one of the most pivotal Historical Documents!

Ancestry from Danish Vikings cannot be calculated, as they were genetically indistinguishable from the Angles, Jutes and Saxons, all originating from the same geographical area. Norse ancestry can be differentiated, as they do differ genetically from the Danes.

@thearab59 Год назад

This also makes it almost impossible to tell Normans from Danish Vikings from Anglo Saxons genetically. More advanced DNA techniques might show differences, for example the North French, likely Frankish, admixtures to the originally Danish Viking Normans. I also understand the Danes (so Danish Vikings) are not quite genetically identical to the Jutes and Angles they substantially displaced from the Danish Peninsula. One theory is the Jutes invaded Kent not from Jutland, but from the Frankish Coast opposite Kent, where they had been staying after being pressured out of Jutland by Danes from further east. Any thoughts, Danish friends?

@lightfootpathfinder8218 Год назад

@@thearab59 that's interesting. I did read a theory years back that states the same as what you said.

My DNA results show 100% British Isles. Mostly NW Scotland but some Irish and Welsh, and a wee bit of English for good measure. The English part comes from a part of the East Midlands that is, for some unknown reason, 92% of Celtic origin- very few Anglo Saxons. I’m not surprised by the findings though as I can trace my ancestry back to 1230 , generation by generation with full names and dates of birth, marriage and death thanks to church records and the happy fact that they mostly lived and died within a small area. From the early modern period onwards,a few men from each generation emigrated to the New World and I have a large number of fairly distant cousins in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US.

You’ve pointed out an increasingly common but unfortunate misunderstanding of the term “indigenous”. It doesn’t simply mean people who can traced back their ancestry to a particular place. Anyone can do that. “Indigenous” is used correctly in the context of colonization. As in the indigenous people of the Americas, Australia or Palestine. People with a long history in a place and a distinct culture who were subject to the invasion and colonization by a different, more powerful people, and are still struggling as a result of this colonialism. In other words, the First Nations people of Canada are indigenous. Ireland was colonized, and so the Irish at the time of the Plantation period can be referred to as indigenous. “Indigenous British”? No.

The Welsh are Britain’s most ancient people on the island! Many Welsh remain genetically distinct from English and Scottish people, with a genetic mutation present from the last Ice Age, 10,000 years ago. This mutation is the same as those hunter-gatherers who left Spain and France and travelled over to Britain when things got extremely chilly. Whilst most English people are more genetically similar to the Danish and the Germans, due to historical relations the Welsh managed to use their geographical position in the far west (after Anglo Saxon colonisation) to avoid as much intermarriage and mixing with Danes, Germans / Anglo Saxons. This has largely continued to this day due to continuous oppression of the Welsh language and culture. The early settlers of Wales are believed to be descendants of the Beaker culture, mixed with immigrants coming from what is now Ireland and the Basque country in Northern Spain. The Romans didn’t have too great an effect on Wales, so when the Romans left, the Welsh and Cornish continued to speak the native language of Brittonic over the entire island. The version of Brittonic spoken in Wales was developed and recorded into Old Welsh and forms the foundations of what is now the Welsh language. The term “Welsh” was given to the people living in these lands by the Anglo-Saxon settlers, meaning “foreigners” further proving their pre-existing unique identity and culture. The Welsh however have always called them selves the “Cymry” and the land (island of Britain pre colonisation) “Cymru”.

One thing the map does not do is seperate the English / British DNA in eastern lowland Britain. But since that part of England is 10-40% germanic, 60-90% of that genetic story is either not told by the map, or there has been such total integration between ancestral populations there that it is no longer possible to separate them. The Danes who lived in central England may have had Western Germanic DNA from Jutland, as modern Danish DNA may originate like the original Danes themselves from further East.

The POBI project was very useful but it has largely been superseded by ancient DNA findings made in the last few years. Therefore the only major point of difference I would make is about the Welsh .They definitely don't resemble ancient British hunter gatherers genetically more than any other Brit. That was speculation on the part of the POBI , before we fully understood the enormous genetic impact farmers and then steppe folk had on the Isles. They , like other Britons , are a mix of hunter gatherer , neolithic farmer and steppe people. They are much like the Irish and Scots in that they more closely resemble British Bronze and Iron Age people than the English who have a lot more Germanic ancestry, although the amount varies across regions .As for the Celts , well that seems to be more of an elite migration . I would definitely urge you to check out the new paper on Anglo-Saxon DNA and migration which is very interesting.

Cnut's popularity in England could be directly attributed to the love he had for the English nation and culture, not only did he learn to speak English, but he was also seemingly influenced by the culture, especially of England's literary tradition which was reflected in Denmark and Norway with the rise of literature and writing as a common practice (but not in Sweden yet, since they had little connections with England, and other Western European countries with proper literary tradition) The majority of Cnut's time as a King was spent in England, and the christianisation of Norway and Denmark accelerated under him. He barely brought settlers from Denmark, allegedly fearing yet another massacre.

If there's anything that's overexaggerated, it's the degree of Scandinavian admixture that people think is common amongst the English. It's very rare, and the tiny minority that carries it have a rather recent Scandinavian ancestor (it wasn't rare at all for European intellectuals to migrate to England, German Kingdoms/Germany and France between the 18th and 20th centuries) it's extremely extremely extremely rare for minority admixtures from 40 generations ago to be strongly persistent to this day, nearly 1200 years later, and account for 5-6% of an individuals ancestry.

Many of the later peoples who came to England were already racial mixed. The Normans were a mixture of Viking and local French people. The Norman invaders took with them many Breton horsemen with and consequently added a small imput of Celtic DNA to England in the 11th century. Later people known as Flemings immigrated to Britain from parts of Netherlands. These people spread through parts of England, Wales and Ireland, they lost their indentity but would have added their DNA which would have been similar the earlier Saxon people.

@celtichistorydecoded Год назад

www.oum.ox.ac.uk/settlers/ Genetic journeys and cultural connections Between the end of the last Ice Age, around 11,600 years ago, and the Norman invasion in 1066, settlers arrived in Britain from various locations in Europe. The objects they left behind show that they brought with them cultural changes such as agriculture, metalworking and new languages. The genetic data from the People of the British Isles study, combined with the archaeological evidence, gives a more complete story of how society changed. In some cases there is a clear genetic signature associated with cultural change. For example, the genetic data suggests a large movement of people from Northern France into England and Scotland between 6,000 and 3,000 years ago, at about the same time that agriculture began to be widespread. In contrast, the Norman invaders, who greatly changed the language and government of Britain, have left little genetic legacy. Agriculture, trade and technology Throughout the Neolithic (New Stone Age) and Bronze Ages, from around 6,000 to 3,000 years ago, people continued to pass back and forth across the English Channel, importing their distinctive styles of pottery and metalwork. The genetic study revealed a pattern of DNA dated to around this time that is shared by people now living in northern France and those in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, but none of those in Wales. It looks as though substantial numbers of people took the opportunity to cross the narrow Channel, and spread through most of the country. These people may have included the first farmers at the start of the Neolithic Age. Or they may have been some of the ‘Beaker people’, who introduced characteristic decorated pottery, developed copper working and traded metal with other parts of Europe.

My DNA make up is 92% English (specifically Northern England), 7% Irish and 1% Iberian Peninsula. I thought it was nigh on impossible to have that percentage for English and I was disappointed, I was hoping for more diversity. As an aside, I and my family still live in North England. We're so bloody boring!

The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes came to Britain from in and around Denmark. So would it not seem more likely that the genetics of the Danes were practically indistinguishable from those, than that the Danes made practically no genetic impact?

@noahtylerpritchett2682 Год назад

I hate the claim that the Danes had "no" impact. That's impossible. The Anglo-Saxons and Danes were genetically indistinguishable. I can't here someone say they're the same than say they're not detecting Danish dna therefore no Danish dna. That doesn't make sense. How would they know? Anglo-Saxons and Danes were undetectable in difference and identical in origins.

@andreashessler838 Год назад

@@IrishCinnsealach The Saxons were not from the modern East German state of Saxony. They settled it in the same way they settled England. They were likely originally from southern Denmark/Northern Germany. Around where Schleswig Holstein is today. As someone else further up mentioned, it's likely the Jutes, Danes and Saxons were, by and large, the same people.

@@andreashessler838 Old Saxony" is the original homeland of the Saxons. It corresponds roughly to the modern German states of Lower Saxony, eastern part of modern North Rhine-Westphalia state (Westphalia), Nordalbingia (Holstein, southern part of Schleswig Holstein and western Saxony Anhalt (Eastphalia), which all lie in northwestern Germany Saxons had been raiding the eastern seaboard of Britain from here during the 3rd and 4th centuries

@andreashessler838 Год назад

@@IrishCinnsealach Yes, which includes Schleswig Holstein. The Saxons spread all the way through what became Germany to the South. Read further down that very Wikipedia page that you copied and pasted. It tells you the origination. "Some of the Saxons left their homelands of Holstein in the 3rd century". In all fairness, everybody in England (whether they were Dane, Briton, Saxon, Jute, etc) became 'saxon' when Aethelstan united England in the early 10th century.

@grimnir8872 Год назад

It's rather difficult to outline how large the impact the Vikings had due to the Danes having basically Identical genes. It's also a bit difficult to see where the genetic markers for Britons ends and Saxons begin because they were also in every close genetic groups as Northern Celts.

My origins are in the British Isles but my U-152 Y haplogroup takes me to Hallstatt, La Tene ancient burials. I consider that to be a "Celtic" genealogy but not "Britano-Celtic" necessarily. The Romans drove some Gallic tribes in front of them as they conquered Gaul and a few of them took refuge on the Isle of Britani. That is one possible explanation.

@kincaidwolf5184 Год назад

There is no Celtic DNA. The Oxford Study that he did his video about literally breaks down that "there is no genetic evidence for a Celtic DNA group". I.e it never existed.

I am not from England, but I wish a genealogical-genetical research is conducted with the intention of discovering if Old Londoners (people who trace their ancestry more than 500 years in London) diverged genetically from the common english people, because London received many foreign communities from all over Europe, then the huguenots, refugees from all over and finally many scottish and irish workers from the 19th century on. There are provably many londoners that are descendants solely of irish or scottish, but my main interest is in the old londoners.
