The archaeological record of humans in Ireland begins in Castlepook Cave, County Clare, near the coastal city of Cork on the south coast. Here, a reindeer’s femur has been discovered that radiocarbon dating has identified as 33,000 years old. Initially excavated over a hundred years ago by the naturalist Richard Usher from a place he called Mammoth Cave (due to the abundance of mammoth bones found there) between 1904 and 1912, the reindeer bone was recently reexamined with modern techniques and technology and found to possess clear signs of butchery. It is the earliest specimen indicating human habitation in Ireland. But it doesn’t prove continuous habitation. Sea levels have changed dramatically over the eons, at times exposing land bridges to the British Isles that early migrants may have crossed only seasonally. Others might have been able to access the Irish shorelines in boats when the seas were far more shallow. Later immigrants almost certainly came in waves from the north and east and south, adding layer upon layer to the societies and cultures that already existed there.
The earliest entries for human specimens in Ireland currently listed at haplogroup.info are two DNA samples-one a Mesolithic specimen from a cave in Limerick whose U5 haplotype roughly corresponds to the Gravettian Culture and whose genetics indicate he may have had black skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. And another Gravettian-era sample that was found near Galway, a more ancient relative of Cheddar Man, the famous specimen from Somerset, England from 9000 years ago.

Black skin? Why not Brown or Light Skin? New Analysys showed that he could have at least Intermediate Skin. Same for the Mesolithic Sven and Loschbour Man Nobody knows the exact Skin Color. Because they lack of the Eurasian and middle eastern genes for Light skin says nothing. East Asians also dont have these genes but have nevertheless light skin. Its very unlikely that they had Black Skin like Subsahrans. Razib Khan stated: I do not think, for example, that European hunter-gatherers had “black skin.” I suspect that the Mesolithic populations were genetically different enough that their “light alleles” may not be in our panels, though my suspicion is that they’d be of darker hue as Inuit people are.

You're absolutely correct. DNA research shows a distinct West European lineage that connects the British Isles, France and Portugal/Spain. I think the problem is that there is an island mentality within the British Isles (including Ireland) that creeps into the interpretation of history.

The Irish (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Ireland, who share a common history and culture. There have been humans in Ireland for about 33,000 years, and it has been continually inhabited for more than 10,000 years. For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people. From the 9th century, small numbers of Vikings settled in Ireland, becoming the Norse-Gaels. Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th-century conquest and colonisation of Ireland brought many English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, especially the north. The Irish have their own customs, language, music, dance, sports, cuisine and mythology. Although Irish (Gaeilge) was their main language in the past, today most Irish people speak English as their first language.

My family tree is interesting to say the least. Earliest i can go back seems to suggest I was the descendant of the old lords of Galloway (high Kings of Scotland.) for several hundred years later my family was close to William Wallace and subsequently and run ins with Robert the Bruce and other future Kings if Scotland such as James II, III and IV. They where Knights and Lords with titles, land, and even a gentleman of the bed-chamber of the Scottish King. (like a Kingsguard.) At one time it is said there were 14 Knights in the MacLellan family and some of which fought and died at Flodden Field alongside the King. After the defeat of the scots and the downfall of the Scottish influence by the English. My ancestor's fortunes took a turn for the worse. Being Presbyterians, they were shipped off to America on the boats to the new world, and whilst some stayed in the US and went on to do amazing things (ill explain in a bit) my direct ancestor a few years later, Robert returned to Scotland hoping to regain some of his wealth and stature. It seems Robert found some success reclaiming his title of Lord before long found himself shipped off to Ireland as a planter. As per an old census, round the 1700s it's clear my family had 5 slaves and 2 generations later after the abolishment of slavery, they had a servent listed on a census at the time. Fast forward a few more generations and somewhere along the line my family converted to the catholic church and now holds no historic wealth but thats not to say their is no heroes to be found. My grandfather fought in France during WW1 and his son was a fireman during the german blitz in Birmingham inWW2 even receiving a British Empire Medal for his courage. Just for the lulz. the brother of my ancestor that stayed in America at the time. Well his descendant went on to be the Commander in Chief over Lincoln's army and even ran against Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 election. George B McClellan. His son was the Mayor of New York.

Great video, two other reasons why Connaught has so much diversity may be, 1 that Cromwell drove a million people from their lands and forced them into Connaught ( this included the English and Scottish settlers that remained Catholic), and 2 the ancient stories that a group of slaves escaped, while in Greece, landed in Ireland and became the Fir Bolg whose territory was Connaught.

[@jackieblue1267]

It's not diversity. It's because some populations were more separate and did not mix with others as much so they have more uniqueness. The homogeneity on the East coast of both England and Ireland is because of the populations that came in and mixed more so more people would belong to that group. They are using diversity here to specific different clusters. It is why on the People of the British Isles study that Southeast of England was described as more homogenous and the Celtic areas as more diverse. It does not mean diverse as in the sense that they have more exotic origins. The Southeast of England has actually more "diverse" origins than Insular Celtic groups but they form a more larger and homogenous cluster where as in Wales there is a North and South divide.

Fir Bolg those who emigrated after the war of Troy? If this is true they would be of the I Y Haplotype. After the war of Troy the name of Britain changed from Albion to Briton and many of those who migrated settled in London and around the coast of Britain and Ireland. There were historic migrations that predated the war off Troy by may thousands of years. Doggerland is the historic coast of Ireland during the Ice Age. The gradual sea level rise after the Glacial Maximum 17,000 years ago had been incremental over thousands of years thus the population of that time had been slowly forced to move to higher ground away from the coast. Add to this the catastrophic Tsunami after a Meteorite struck Greenland that is widely considered to be the reason for the Folklore about the flooding of Atlantis with Atlantis being a very low lying island outside the Pillars of Hercules being the Gibraltar Straights. I Y Haplotype mutation originated in present day Bosnia within the Dinaric Alps mountain range 24,000 years ago.

An outstanding video--thank you for all the efforts. My own ancestry has several links to Irish ancestors who made their way to North America. My grandmother was a Cullen, and her line's journey from County Wexford, Ireland, included a stopover near Quebec, Canada for a couple of generations. For those looking for information about their surname (father's) connection to Ireland, consider doing a Y-DNA test. By comparing a man's Y-DNA test with others, researchers are able to provide major insights into the migration history of that line going back thousands of years. A distant cousin of my grandmother (also surnamed Cullen, and descended from the same ancestral line) completed Y-DNA testing, which allowed us to find his particular cluster of Cullen men. It turns out that these Cullens spent many years living in the Wicklow Mountains, just south of Dublin, fighting against the various groups who arrived as conquerers in modern-day Ireland. My own interest in the Cullens led, eventually, to my taking on a co-administrative role of the Cullen DNA project. Within this project we have identified several distinct Cullen lines who independently chose the Cullen surname. For hundreds of years, researchers have wondered if/how these lines are related to one another, and we finally have the tools today to sort things out. Note that the Y-DNA test is different from autosomal tests (like the ones sold by Ancestry, 23andMe, etc), which were used in the project described in the video above. The main company doing Y-DNA testing is Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), who also host the citizen-science surname project for which I volunteer as co-administrator. I have no ties with FTDNA, aside from having purchased several tests from them and administering some of the surname projects there. I am happy to help folks looking for some details about their ancestry by using DNA testing. There are lots of options and companies, with test prices ranging, depending on budget and research goals.

There is a theory, called the Milesian theory, that claims that original Celtic people who came to Ireland came from Spain. I've always questioned this idea as why would people blindly set across the Atlantic Ocean in search of land. Very recently it has been found that people in Brittany (France) have a genetic connection with the Irish. MY THEORY is that these ancient Celts left Spain and travelled north up the western coast of France keeping land in sight. The travelled to what is now Brittany and founded a colony there. Later they spread, by "island hopping", to Cornwall, Wales and finally Ireland. It appears that the colony in Brittany lasted long enough to leave DNA behind. Today's modern Breton people are a result of reverse migratition which happened approximately a thousand years later when British Celts crossed the Channel from Cornwall to escape the invading Anglo-Saxons and brought their Brythonic Celtic language with them.

The Neolithic colonization of Europe from Western Asia and the Middle East , beginning around 10,000 years ago , reached Iberia peninsula and most of the rest of the continent , although according to the demic diffusion model its impact was greatest in the southern and eastern regions of the European continent . Starting in the 3rd millennium BC , during the Bronze Age , the first wave of migrations into Iberia peninsula by speakers of Indo-European languages occurred . These were later (7th and 5th centuries BC) followed by waves of Pre-Celts Tribes , Lusitanians , Gallaecians , Vetones , Cynetes , Turduli and Celtici , Celts Tribes in area of Iberia peninsula where the presence of pre-Celts period in the prehistory . Major genetic studies since 2015 have now shown that haplogroup R1b in western Europe , most common in many areas of Atlantic Europe , largely expanded in massive migrations from the Pontic Caspian steppe of eastern Europe during the Bronze Age , along with carriers of Indo-European languages like proto-Celtic and proto-Italic . Unlike older studies on uniparental markers , large amounts of autosomal DNA were analyzed in addition to paternal Y-DNA. An autosomal component was detected in modern Europeans which was not present in the Neolithic or Mesolithic, and which entered into Europe with paternal lineages R1b and R1a, as well as the Indo-European languages . The pan-European (most probably Pre-Celts ) haplotype A1-B8-DR3 and the western-European haplotype A29-B44-DR7 are shared by Portuguese , Basques and Spaniards . The latter is also common in Scottish , Irish , southern English , and western French population .

[@Mostly_Harmless99]

I wonder if the reason that linkages between the other Celtic peoples (except the Scots) and the Irish is that a) migration was by boat rather than by land, and 2) that the spread of Celtic peoples into NW Europe happened south to north instead of east to west. The author gives a nod toward this by mentioning the linkage to Celtic Brittany. Pity he did’t connect the dots from Portugal and Galicia in NW Iberian Penninsula to Brittany to Cornwall and Wales to Ireland to Scotland. The last Celtic national group, in Newfoundland, migrated much later but still hold a strong affinity to Ireland as well as some good Celtic DNA, too.

She was Anna Marie Drubney and was born July 26, early 1870,s in western Hungary near Vienna. Could you possibly point me in the right direction to gain more information?

Five years ago I found out I had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The doctors wanted to know if it was from heredity which 98% is. We did the DNA test. Turns out mine is not but they discovered I had two unidentified DNA marker sequences that are in no data bank. The researchers are still hoping as more people have their DNA analyzed, they will be able to match what my unidentified markers and their origins mean.

Fantastic article.

I can fairly accurately trace my genealogy back to late 1500's and with some (or much) lesser degree of certainty several centuries earlier. Also any suggestions for what's the best way to evaluate my DNA to help further validate and/or research my roots to early England?

There is no evidence of a massive displacement or genocide, it was more of a change of management and introduction of new culture, whilst the ordinary Joe feeding his pigs would have stayed the same as he was under Boadicea, and continued to be under the Normans.
