But when you were trying to be so comprehensively accessible I actually think you could have spent an extra minute or two explaining certain points just a little more comprehensively and that would have actually made the whole thing a little more accessible too.

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.

Here's a thought which I find interesting. When as youngster in the armed forces I had a good drinking mate who was Jewish, his ancestors came to this country running from some long forgotten progrom in Europe he had only heard vague tales about. As far as he was concerned he was a Londoner end of story. He explained to me that Jewishness can only be handed down through the female line and explained why. The Jews being the pragmatic race they are figured out it takes a clever person to work out who their father is or might be but it's a lot simpler to know who the mother is........ how's that for ancient logic, pragmatism, realism. On leave from my unit I just happened to be talking to my Dad about my mate and I mentioned his name (a rare name in Britain) He asked me to ask my mate if he was related in any way to a Jewish lad he served alongside in the forties who also had that name. On asking my mate it turned out our Dad's had been shared more than a few falling down waters in the same unit all those decades ago also.

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.

Those English/Scots Plantations were not that successful. Almost as soon as land became available in the 13 American Colonies the people that Americans now know as " *Scots-Irish* " began to move there. Most settled in Virginia and the Carolinas. Some of the USA's earliest presidents were descended from these people. At first The *Scots-Irish* distanced themselves from the Lowland Scots and people from northern England who had settled in the colony of New Jersey and along the coasts of Virginia, and the Carolinas; by calling themselves "Irish" (They had moved from Ulster Ireland to the USA, although their families had originated in Scotland and England) But as more native Irish (who were Catholic) began arriving (for the same reason --- poor land in the home country) the descendants of those early Protestant settlers (from Ulster) began calling themselves Scots-Irish. Highland Scots also settled in Virgina and the Carolinas; but since most arrived a little later they settled the inland highland/mountain areas where land was still available. The western part of the state of Virgina (where many of the Highlanders settled) seceded from Virigina during the American Civil War. Pennsylvania also received many Scots-Irish who settled in the northwestern part of the state.

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).

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

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 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.

That was the least informative narrative on population genetics I have ever viewed. Utterly pointless, is my conclusion. I am better guided by my niece, who went to Ireland from NZ to discover the genesis of we Ryans. Evidently, we were less Irish than Viking. She discovered a village with a stone cairn that declared "Throw a stone from this location and you will assuredly hit a Ryan". In the next village was another cairn which stated "All Ryans are troublemakers". We already knew this. A granddaughter got a DNA test and found we have some Middle East inheritance. That explains how my bum is summer brown in winter. The rest of the family, being Aboriginal, is a lot darker, except for the Indian component, which is a shade lighter. Obviously, we Ryans also like variety.

For some reason, the Irish genome is a mix as if the island was empty and French, Belgium, Norway and Denmark making up to 80% of history.

[@evoinception]

the Viking invasions brought Scandinavian genes, while earlier migrations from mainland Europe, including from regions that are now France and Belgium, also left a mark, hence you this ..

Don't believe all this stuff - the Irish were isolated for thousands of years - maybe 2% Viking and 2% Iberian is all. I am 100% Irish. The Irish came from the Steppes and stayed there.

@@evoinception thankyou, my Scottish side is from Somerled the viking, related and same haplogroup y chromosome of ragnar and ivar the boneless, the Maciain of macdonald clan, fought at right side of Bruce, I have dna of Stewarts , have the grey hair gene of Mary queen of Scots, relation of Eleanor Medici of spain, Elizabeth drury was the Head chamber maid of Queen Elizabeth the 1st, cousin of Mary and married Duke stafford. Mary was to marry Don Carlos of Spain, mental bro of phillipe. The Dillon side had many exploits including in the great courts in Europe, Marie anotette was in love with my ancestor who travelled Europe's high courts etc. Rich history full of tradgedy as we always fight on the good side, we lost everything for that! The holy roman empire was the first to steal our riches, this been going on forever, most have no clue about teal history. Must add my Irish side comes from spain and toscana but before spain was middle east, I have Egyptian, suadi, yemenese and pashtun blood distantly, my family took the stone of destiny, a gift from cignis and moses to Ireland, it ended up in Scottish hands, the story changed as Bruce tried to attach himself to the stone for his advantage, anyone who knows history knows Ireland had the stone and came via spain. My families crime? Being Catholic at the wrong time!

The origins of Clan MacCulloch are unknown, but there is a consensus that the family was one of the most ancient families of Galloway, Scotland the Y DNA is R1a. This is the Clan Chiefs line. The one way of telling if there are Scythian connections is the ability to tolerate milk as an adult. It was in the Step area near the Black Sea that horses and cattle were domesticated 5,000 years ago.

Not back far enough! Look up “The Blood of the Travellers”, documentary. It showed they have the oldest blood in Ireland and it goes back to INDIA, via Europe so way before this.

Q.1 :What does this mean travellers and the other group in Northern ireland came to ireland with Scandinavian vikings and the settled community originated from England and Scotland and orkney Island.

[@tonyu5985]

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.

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...
