Scientists Finally Discover Irish Genetic Origins

Situated off the North-Western coast of Europe, Ireland's geographic position promotes genetic uniformity and isolation.Research on ancient Irish genomes indicates that the current Irish genetic landscape was formed approximately 3,500 ago during the Irish Bronze Age.Significant historical migrations to Ireland include the Norse Vikings in the late first millennium, the Norman invasion in the 12th century, and the Plantations of the 16th and 17th centuries.The effect of these migrations on the modern Irish genome remains largely unknown.Y-chromosome and mitochondrial haplotypes common in Ireland show genetic continuity with those found in other western European populations.

[@evoinception]

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.

This summary of genetic research, similar to many others available on the Web, is stuffed with jargon and leaves me without any knowledge of the result of research. All I hear are lots of words, the definitions of which I am unsure or, more frequently, clueless. For example, at the beginning we are informed that the population has been isolated for the last 5000 years. For the rest of the report, we get an unending series of discussions of mixtures.

[@evoinception]

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.

[@gabhanachdenogla8342]

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.

[@A-C100]

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.

Irish Native here from county Cork.. Though I have no Saxon DNA some Irish here do... I myself am Norse-Gael 🇮🇪 🇧🇻 76% Irish 24% Norwegian The Norse-Gaels (Old Irish: Gall-Goídil; Irish: Gall-Ghaeil; Scottish Gaelic: Gall-Ghàidheil, 'foreigner-Gaels') were a people of mixed Gaelic and Norse ancestry and culture. They emerged in the Viking Age, when Vikings who settled in Ireland and in Scotland became Gaelicised and intermarried with Gaels. It's common for people with Irish heritage to have British Isles DNA in their ancestry results due to centuries of colonization, immigration, and exploration. During the 18th century, the English established the Kingdom of Ireland and intermingled with the Irish, replacing Irish Catholics with Protestants. People from the British Isles, which includes Ireland, Great Britain, the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, and the Northern Isles, share a common genetic history and have moved around the region a lot over the past few hundred years. This means that even people with deep roots in a specific area can still have Irish ancestry in their ethnicity estimate, especially if that area is close to Ireland

So where did the population from 5000 to 3500 years ago originate? Is it true that there are genetic connections to the Black Sea region and even Egypt?

[@evoinception]

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.

[@pavelandel1538]

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).

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.

No R1A1.

[@evoinception]

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.

The video shows the current genetic landscape was formed 3500 years ago, so the Irish didn’t build Newgrange or any of the thousands of megaliths across the Island, with some dated over 5000 years old? Maybe some of the answers are to be found in Irish mythology, even with Atlantis, but that’s a step to far for most people.

[@evoinception]

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.

[@bcfcireland9456]

that might be only be a more modern take as we all know there is sites in Ireland date back to between 5000 and 9000 years ago so this is only a modern take on where the Irish came from and its origins.. no one likes to talk about the movement of the irish and the druid class pre- 5000 years ago from from west to east before their more modern return

[@evoinception]

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...

Irish, Scotts, Germans, Brits etc all White people have one origin and that is Adam (White Adamic Man). The first of the Ancient Israelites (Tuatha De Danaan/Tribe of Dan) left from Egypt before and during the Exodus and sailed to these Isles. The White Christian peoples of Europe are predominantly descended from the Ancient Israelites in the line of Shem, others, the minority are in the line of Japheth and are mainly Eastern Europeans. The White Adamic man has only been on this earth since God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden approx 7,000 years ago. The other races have been here far longer but the Bible does not elaborate on that.

Ireland and the rest of the British Isles are on the European plate and well away from the edge. Iceland in on the boundary between the European and North American plate and Greenland is on the North American plate.
