Thank you. So, essentially the Basque as a group are an isolated population (likely from earlier Neolithic ) and have more rh- blood because of genetic drift and the founder effect, as well as remaining largely unmixed. The question remains, why did Rh- come into being to begin with? If it’s ancient, it must have served a purpose at some point? If not FROM the Basque, it came from some earlier population.
I recommend that you read more post 2014 studies. Genetic studies was at its infancy during the early 2000s and some researchers made hasty claims that were proved to be redundant. The closest population to the Basques apparently are Sardinians and they are the closest to Early European Farmers according to more recent Scientific Papers....
Probably the biggest driver was the ability to grow babies. Progeny that would be more difficult mixing with other blood types. Culture supported avoiding observed outcomes of intermixture, people not being stupid. Geography was an additional insulator.
Years ago I did the National Geographic genome project. It indicated that my ancestors came from Africa went up and over the middle east and continued to Cestona where they stayed for a long long time. My family left Cestona around 1500 and went to Ecuador.
Great video. I have two questions. Specific to basque r1b, how does it relate to[disputed] ancient Native American r1b? And second question, which specific subclades of mtdna H were specified for basque.
you ask some great questions, to your first one, its a question that remains unanswered as of now and research is ongoing, to your second question H1, H3, H3b, H5a1, H1j ...
BS! Basques are most closely related to other Spaniards and Frenchmen. They are mostly R1b haplogroup just like most Western Europeans. They may speak a non Indo-European language but have steppe Indo-European DNA just like everyone else. The ancient hunter gathers weren’t R1b.
Interesting, but confusing. I thought it was established that the R1a and R1b haplogroups were introduced in Europe by the Yamnaya culture that originated in the steppes and than migrated west to more or less replace the neolithic population of Europe. So, R1b would rather be a sign of admixture with outside groups than a sign of hunter gatherer heritage.
You raise an interesting point about the origins and distribution of the R1a and R1b haplogroups in Europe. It is indeed a complex topic that has been extensively studied by geneticists and archaeologists. You are correct that the current academic consensus is that the Yamnaya culture, which originated in the Eurasian steppes, was responsible for the spread of the R1a and R1b haplogroups into Europe during the Bronze Age. These genetic markers are believed to have been introduced as Yamnaya pastoralists and their descendants expanded westward, interacting with and partially replacing the earlier Neolithic farming populations of Europe. So from this perspective, the presence of R1b in a European population would be more indicative of admixture with groups descended from the Yamnaya, rather than a direct link to Paleolithic hunter-gatherer ancestry. The Neolithic farming cultures that preceded the Yamnaya expansions are thought to have been dominated by other haplogroups, such as G2a. However, the genetic history of Europe is an active area of research, and there may be more nuance to the story. It's possible that some R1b lineages could have persisted from earlier Mesolithic hunter-gatherer populations, or that there were complex patterns of interaction and admixture between the Yamnaya, Neolithic farmers, and indigenous foragers. Ultimately, the interpretation of haplogroup distributions is just one piece of the puzzle in reconstructing the complex demographic history of Europe. Careful analysis of ancient DNA, along with archaeological and linguistic evidence, is required to develop a more complete understanding of these processes. As our knowledge continues to evolve, we may gain new insights into the genetic heritage of different European populations.
I am a descendent of a Major Haplogroup that is U8 of Persia Iran area 54K years ago and U8a and U8b split in Jordanian desert/ Sadia Arabia. The Basque are U8a and I am U8b. We are both RH- bloodline that traced back through the Levant 135k years ago and come from the Ural Mountains , Down to Georgia, down to Iran, were we split. RH- /AB- is 35% in both peoples of the Levant and Basque....that's the true story of the Basque. U8 is the Mother, not H. DNA Genetics wont go in detail of the mutation U8b, because it is the K1a1b1a, which was the 19th to 17th Dynasty of Egyptian Pharaohs, and were ancestors of the Israelites, which they call the Ashkenazi Jews... 2016 IGEA changed Haplo identification and buried the details of mutation due to DEI Diversity Equality and Inclusion and want to portray the New Kingdom Egyptian Pharaohs as Central African, and they were NOT, they were Caucasians.
Basques aren't that distinct. Also R1b only came into central and western Europe in the Bronze Age. Basque are really just similar to Iron Age Iberians. They are a more isolated population which is why they have their own cluster. They aren't however some isolated remnant from the Ice Age.
Actually they are distinct, they have a higher proportion of the Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b-M269, which is the most common Y-chromosome lineage in Western Europe. However, the specific subclade of R1b found in Basques (R1b-L21) is distinct from the predominant R1b subclades found in other parts of Europe.
@@evoinception R1b-L21 is highest in Irish and Basques are highest in R1b-DF27 the same as other Spanish. Y dna does not make anyone special as it is a tiny proportion of dna and of course only males have it. R1b-L21 is highest in Irish, Welsh, Scots. It is also relatively high in Bretons, Not Basque. It's odd that someone who posts on genetics can get something like this so wrong.
@@evoinception We found that R1b-DF27 is present in frequencies ~40% in Iberian populations and up to 70% in Basques, but it drops quickly to 6-20% in France. Overall, the age of R1b-DF27 is estimated at ~4,200 years ago, at the transition between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age, when the Y chromosome landscape of W Europe was thoroughly remodeled. In spite of its high frequency in Basques, Y-STR internal diversity of R1b-DF27 is lower there, and results in more recent age estimates; NE Iberia is the most likely place of origin of DF27. Subhaplogroup frequencies within R1b-DF27 are geographically structured, and show domains that are reminiscent of the pre-Roman Celtic/Iberian division, or of the medieval Christian kingdoms.
@@jackieblue1267anyone who knows anything about genetics instantly knew how ignorant you are when you said y dna doesn’t matter because it is a small portion of the DNA. Even a single gene can create massive phenotypical differences
@@WarAndFame I'm not ignorant of genetics at all. Ydna is just approx 1% of a person's dna, My point is it doesn't make a population distinct. I've been interested in population genetics for 10 years. So what I said is ignorant and what Evo Inception said about the Basque being ydna Rib-L21 isn't?? Ydna also does not affect phenotype. It is also just in the male line. It has it's uses. My family tested on the Big Y and the full mtdna test. I've had all the dna tests done. Don't call me ignorant. I'm not a geneticist but I know more than some of the people posting videos on this topic. They are the ones who are ignorant. I don't like calling people that but some of the misinformation is jarring.
Interesting video. So if your European, and not someone who is descended from the Basques, and have the RH- blood group, where do your ancestors come from? Im asking seriously, please dont say aliens.😆
The Rh-negative blood type is a relatively rare genetic trait that is found at higher frequencies in certain populations, including the Basques. However, the origins of Rh-negative blood in Europeans who are not of Basque descent are not fully settled scientifically. There are a few leading hypotheses: 1. Genetic drift and isolation: The Rh-negative trait may have arisen spontaneously in certain isolated European populations due to genetic drift and founder effects. Over time, it could have spread to neighboring groups through admixture and migration. 2. Prehistoric population movements: Some researchers suggest the Rh-negative trait could be linked to prehistoric migrations and population mixing, perhaps tracing back to Paleolithic or Neolithic periods. However, the specific ancestral origins are unclear. 3. Admixture with archaic human populations: There is a fringe hypothesis that Rh-negative blood may be linked to admixture between modern humans and now-extinct archaic human species, like Neanderthals or Denisovans. However, this remains speculative and controversial. Importantly, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that Rh-negative blood has alien or supernatural origins. It is simply a rare genetic variant found in certain human populations, the full evolutionary history of which is still being investigated by population geneticists. I hope this provides a balanced, science-based perspective on the origins of Rh-negative blood in non-Basque Europeans. Let me know if you have any other questions...
@@evoinception Thanks for that. I have personal interest in this. I didnt really think RH- blood came from aliens or other supernatural sources! Its just something Ive seen mentioned on other youtube channels about the origin of RH- blood. Which I obviously I found ridiculous. Good to get a proper scientific view on it. So I guess at the end of the day we cant really say with any certainty where it originated. Good video and reply.
Fascinating resilience in Basque people! Amazing really. Thank you for posting!
yes, they are truly unique and their genetic is a living sample of the paleolithic people, some might be extinct now ...
So proud to have Basque ancestors 💚🤍❤️

Basque Country is not in Northeastern Spain.
its Spanish portion is indeed situated in the northern part of Spain, making it a part of northeastern Spain as well.
