Rathlin, is pronounced Raathlin, not Raythlin. Rathlin is a lovely wee place, I've a cousin who lives there. As for aDNA, I'm related the first of the three Rathlin men, found under a pub - no surprise there and I'm related to the Ballynahatty Woman. But I imagine half the county, indeed, half of Europe is related to her too. I guess, we've been knocking about Antrim and Down, a bit longer than any of my family thought.😁
Due to the age of the samples, and the history of ancestors mixing across time, most all Europeans share in these ancient samples to whatever amount, regardless of location today. On a broad continental level today, Southern Europeans tend more towards the Ballynahatty Woman, due to higher ancient farmer DNA in their genetic makeup, and Northern Europeans tend towards the Rathlin samples. But it's a matter of degree and focus, because the opposite is likewise true, Southern and Northern Europeans share the other samples as well. The point was to show my connection to the samples as a Southern European descended person. and as an extension, that we're all connected in the ways that we are.
Now I'd question myself if "Leabhar Gabhala" and other ancient texts clearly describing origins of Irish and other celtic people are just tales as some people believe.

@robertolang9684 I’m going to need you to do some history research 🧐 According to Sykes, the Iberians came to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and became known as the Celts and are written up in the historic Irish Book of Kells. Then, centuries later, the Celts migrated to Spain and intermarried with the Iberian/Spanish peoples.
@robertolang9684 dna doesn’t lie ancestry dna doesn’t have Iberian it tells you on their website they classify it as Irish etc, my ancestors came from the England scottland Ireland and were moors, indentured servants and slaves brought to Maryland, look up the slaves in catoctin furnace whose dna is traced back to the moors of cordoba that’s my true ancestry

@@Lion718 A lot of people in the Basque region do. And the gene that brought red hair and green eyes is recent in Ireland. a few thousand years ago Irish people were predominantly dark. Imn some regions they still are - notably the North. Oh and bullshit to everything else you said.
That's interesting - my sister (Irish) was fascinated by things Spaish (migrated and married a Spaniard) Her dentist who also dental archeology, has informed her she has a dental feature observed in very early Spanish populations. Funny old world.
One look at Aidan Turner and you have to wonder whether or not his roots go back to at least Spain and hence the Middle East. I even heard him describe himself as an Arab. He may have been joking, but as I said, he may be partially right. Anyway, does any of this really matter? We all came from Africa originally so we're all human beings, part of the same family, with our DNA extremely close to each other's.
All Europeans are genetically cousins, and they share different combinations of the same previous population sources. But all Europeans are likewise cousins to everyone else across the world. And that's according genetics, also linguistics, and archaeology. Broadly, one can just simply say that everyone is related, full stop. But there's a genetic history of population movements, and depending on the slice of time one is looking at, certain details can be had. This video has a specific scope concerning Ancient Irish DNA and modern Spanish, which is the focus. Spain is not Arab, nor do the people appear so, though some may, in the context of Mediterranean populations, it all depends on what people's reference points are and what they've been exposed to. In some locations, specially across the south, there are countless buildings with Arab origin, and other things such as music etc. For Spain, the genetic contribution from the Middle East is minimal to non existent, instead, at a population level, some have North African percentages. Broadly, taken at that level, Spain had contribution from various other groups across time: native Iberian, Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and many others. But there's plenty of literature on the history of Spain available, as well as genetics. The concept of judging by looks, is a simple but wrong assumption often. People opt for doing so because it's easy. But the truth, to the degree that we know it, humans have a far more complex history. This video is just a snapshot within that, nothing more.
@@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING Yes, well, I wasn't assuming anything, just asking. According to Guy Murchie who wrote _The Seven Mysteries of Life,_ human beings are all at least 50th cousins, and, of course, most of us are much more closely related than that.
Ireland′s closest group in the MDS is the population of Guipuzcoa, the most geographically easterly of the Basque groups. Furthermore, in the MDS Guipuzcoa is closer to Ireland than to any of the other Basque populations. For comparison, the Caucasian population of the United Kingdom segregates with the non-Basque Western European cluster. Confirmation of these genetic affinities between the Irish and the Basque populations is seen in the topology of the NJ tree. This is from a study on Irish males and Basque males
My mtDNA is H2a2a1, broadly, I've not taken a deeper test. I believe the Neolithic Ballynahatty Woman's mtdna is HV0 +195. The 3 Early Bronze Age men were R1b.
@@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING Thank you! I'm U5b2, apparently a new mutation. Im fascinated with this topic. I wish you'd made a longer video though, greedy me! I had the ancient testing done. It takes a while to wrap ones head around it, but you help a lot. I've always loved people watching. There are so many unusual faces out there. To evaluate a species based on 4 examples seems silly. I've been duving into the 12,000 year solar possible extinction events. I think its possibly the reason we don't find more remains. One tribe has a legend about being underground for a ling time and lead outside by "Ant People". Obviously if such events occurred, some people survived it. This subject has so many curious pieces to it! I find it very disturbing that races are ignored by researchers. Each group has certain specializations that are important to note and still exist. To do otherwise is bad science, imo. I'm looking forward to your next video! Please continue to dish on the mtDNA and DNA. It's so helpful! Many thanks! ✨
So what happened why don't modern Irish look like Turks Spanish or North African Were they replaced by Vikings Norman's and English Something drastic must have happened the Conquest must have been more complete than we beleived till now}
When you ask about 'looks like', there are various questions as to what you mean. Specially in the context of genetics such as this video. Irish people, appearance wise, don't all look alike, and neither do people from various other places. But there are broad similarities from population to population, as there are differences within them. In other words, depending on your reference point, you'd assume things that may be partly true, but not the whole truth. Basically, humans are not cookie cut in a factory, differences in appearances overlap within and outside of country boarders. And the same can be said if you were asking about genetic similarities. Think of all of it as a gradient across humanity. Everyone shares DNA at 99.9% regardless of location or appearances. All Europeans share a mix of the same populations back in the Bronze age, but in different proportions depending on location. There's plenty of literature on all of this, and according to your question, it appears you'd due better reading a bit on the topic, if you're interested to unpack it all and have a clearer understanding.
Way back hundreds of soldiers or sailers from the Spanish armada were caught in a storm off the coast of kerry and washed up in tralee bay they were fleeing from the British and the irish people hid them from the British and most of them settled with irish wife's never returning to Spain and you do see lots if darker skin people around tralee especially in the summer
It's a bit of a myth, but interesting. Dark hair, eyes, and medium to light skin comes from the Farmer population that settled western Europe in pre-history. They were replaced and absorbed by people that were nomads from the east. Previous to those two groups, there were hunter-gathers which had light eyes and dark skin, and the three populations mixed to form the Europeans of today. So relatedness among Europeans is very old, and depending on the mixture of those ancestral people, folks today would vary in appearance. Argument being, Irish people with dark feature are just Irish. Folk all across Europe don't look Nordic, necessarily. But the legend is neat in a sense, as I don't know that I'd leave a warm cottage with an Irish Lass.

The Basque look genetically similar to their neighbors, French, Spanish, Iberian and so on. The naming conventions fall into a broader one of Southern European, which nests inside of European and so on. I match with Ballynahatty Woman, but also with the Rathlin remains, I used Spanish for the title as it's my Ancestry. Though I could say American, or break it down in various ways. Since DNA is shared within and across populations, the idea that one group is different than another required elimination of common shared segments, in order to arrive at usable differences for the scope of a study. But I'll say it plainly, I not only have ancestry from Spain, but have it from across the Iberian peninsula, to include the Basque. Southern Europeans carry more Farmer DNA than Northwest Europeans, and this is shared with the Ballynahatty Woman. The trouble is, if broadening the scope of what you're looking at, All Europeans match each other anyhow. But this was a look at something specific, and holds true still. I added footnotes as well in the description.
No one in Ireland pronounces Ballynahatty or Rathlin the way you do. Very annoying having to listen to the continious mispronounciation. Other than that a good video. I've a DNA match to her on my mums side and to the Rathlin Island burials on my dads
Language is such, that pronunciations vary from place to place, specially with distance and when local linguistic norms are unavailable. You won't find me River Dancing either. Some in the Isles off of mainland Europe sing with American accents, but speak according to their locations, what's up with that? That's a rhetorical question. The gist of the topic was the focus in the title. I sure I'd be better served pronouncing those words as the locals would, but that was not available to me. Thanks for the compliment over the video.
These are extremely old remains. Most people of North Western European heritage, if not all, would be related to these remains in some way. Using modern national countries to compare to old remains is meaninglessness
The literature from Trinity College, Dublin, Queen's University, Belfast, and others, is clear. The Ballynahatty Woman is genetically closer to Spain, and Southern Europe. And the context is found, clearly, in the video, and footnotes linked. I'd imagine, though this may be meaningless to you, geneticists would disagree, specially the ones that worked to give the world this important data and insight. Your particular comment, over 'all people sharing genetics with ancient remains', is a different topic all together, though valid in its own right.

It is not very useful to have a battle over how folks look or not, when there's billions of people on earth, and they're a gradient of each other, not hard drawn lines. Unless the goal is some tribal chest pounding of sorts, then I guess that would have it's utility, but it's silly. My video is about the Ballynahatty Woman, and modern Spanish populations being connected by DNA. I attached sources from researchers, and it's not in dispute by anyone serious. The conversation you and others are having over how populations look, is a huffing and puffing match, and a waste of time. “No population is, or ever could be, pure” - David Reich, a professor of genetics news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/02/harvard-geneticist-no-populations-dna-is-pure/

But it's a matter of degree and focus, because the opposite is likewise true, Southern and Northern Europeans share the other samples as well. The point was to show my connection to the samples as a Southern European descended person. and as an extension, that we're all connected in the ways that we are.
I lived near Bray and I was shocked see how the people there looked like people from the basque country.
Now I'd question myself if "Leabhar Gabhala" and other ancient texts clearly describing origins of Irish and other celtic people are just tales as some people believe.
From San Antonio, Texas - I'm a match! Ran GEDmatch - my wife and cousin are also matches.
My surname Moran is also found in Spain. I am a Neolith .
Actually, I still keep arguing with Irish friends whether Moran is an Irish or Asturian surname! Lots of Morans around here
Coincidencia!

Rathlin is pronounced like wrath lin

Thank you , correct, that’s the pronunciation 🤔

And if you see a "gh" in Irish names, it's almost certainly pronounced /h/, not /g/.

I have f999805 on my gedmatch, ancestry dna says I’m 8% Irish wales German English and Norwegian, but on my heritage it says I’m 14% Iberian and like 3% Irish Scottish it was clear to me that ancestry dna 🧬 classifies Iberian as other things like irish, my ancestors were moors I have ancestors with name Moore, mooris, merida, etc my great great grandmother was Irish but not with red hair or anything she had dark hair, that’s because Iberians went into Ireland, some of which are really spanish
@robertolang9684 I’m going to need you to do some history research 🧐
According to Sykes, the Iberians came to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and became known as the Celts and are written up in the historic Irish Book of Kells. Then, centuries later, the Celts migrated to Spain and intermarried with the Iberian/Spanish peoples.
@robertolang9684 dna doesn’t lie ancestry dna doesn’t have Iberian it tells you on their website they classify it as Irish etc, my ancestors came from the England scottland Ireland and were moors, indentured servants and slaves brought to Maryland, look up the slaves in catoctin furnace whose dna is traced back to the moors of cordoba that’s my true ancestry
@robertolang9684 If you are purely interested in exploring your family history, then the ancestry services offered by AncestryDNA may be more detailed and accurate. AncestryDNA has more historical records to work with, given the years the brand has been collecting them.
Ancestry dna is the most accurate only in regards to records, I traced a huge portion of my family tree down using ancestry dna, however those same records show me that other dna companies are actually more accurate in where the dna comes from, I have done ancestry dna, my heritage, true living dna, true heritage dna, Prometheus, Adntro, and maybe a few other and compared all those test with my family tree and records from ancestry. my heritage, true ancestry, Prometheus, and adntro are all in agreement therefore more accurate, how many dna test have you compared and do you have your family records because I do 🤷🏾♀️

I'm almost 100% Irish and I pick up Spanish language very fast. I wonder if genetics could actually affect that.
No, they do not. Those people did not speak Spanish or anything remotely resembling Spanish.

That's interesting - my sister (Irish) was fascinated by things Spaish (migrated and married a Spaniard) Her dentist who also dental archeology, has informed her she has a dental feature observed in very early Spanish populations. Funny old world.
One look at Aidan Turner and you have to wonder whether or not his roots go back to at least Spain and hence the Middle East. I even heard him describe himself as an Arab. He may have been joking, but as I said, he may be partially right. Anyway, does any of this really matter? We all came from Africa originally so we're all human beings, part of the same family, with our DNA extremely close to each other's.
All Europeans are genetically cousins, and they share different combinations of the same previous population sources. But all Europeans are likewise cousins to everyone else across the world. And that's according genetics, also linguistics, and archaeology. Broadly, one can just simply say that everyone is related, full stop. But there's a genetic history of population movements, and depending on the slice of time one is looking at, certain details can be had. This video has a specific scope concerning Ancient Irish DNA and modern Spanish, which is the focus. Spain is not Arab, nor do the people appear so, though some may, in the context of Mediterranean populations, it all depends on what people's reference points are and what they've been exposed to. In some locations, specially across the south, there are countless buildings with Arab origin, and other things such as music etc. For Spain, the genetic contribution from the Middle East is minimal to non existent, instead, at a population level, some have North African percentages. Broadly, taken at that level, Spain had contribution from various other groups across time: native Iberian, Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and many others. But there's plenty of literature on the history of Spain available, as well as genetics. The concept of judging by looks, is a simple but wrong assumption often. People opt for doing so because it's easy. But the truth, to the degree that we know it, humans have a far more complex history. This video is just a snapshot within that, nothing more.
@@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING Yes, well, I wasn't assuming anything, just asking. According to Guy Murchie who wrote _The Seven Mysteries of Life,_ human beings are all at least 50th cousins, and, of course, most of us are much more closely related than that.

Ireland′s closest group in the MDS is the population of Guipuzcoa, the most geographically easterly of the Basque groups. Furthermore, in the MDS Guipuzcoa is closer to Ireland than to any of the other Basque populations. For comparison, the Caucasian population of the United Kingdom segregates with the non-Basque Western European cluster. Confirmation of these genetic affinities between the Irish and the Basque populations is seen in the topology of the NJ tree. This is from a study on Irish males and Basque males

Thank you! I'm U5b2, apparently a new mutation. Im fascinated with this topic. I wish you'd made a longer video though, greedy me! I had the ancient testing done. It takes a while to wrap ones head around it, but you help a lot. I've always loved people watching. There are so many unusual faces out there. To evaluate a species based on 4 examples seems silly. I've been duving into the 12,000 year solar possible extinction events. I think its possibly the reason we don't find more remains.
One tribe has a legend about being underground for a ling time and lead outside by "Ant People". Obviously if such events occurred, some people survived it.
This subject has so many curious pieces to it! I find it very disturbing that races are ignored by researchers. Each group has certain specializations that are important to note and still exist.
To do otherwise is bad science, imo.
I'm looking forward to your next video! Please continue to dish on the mtDNA and DNA. It's so helpful! Many thanks! ✨
So what happened why don't modern Irish look like Turks Spanish or North African Were they replaced by Vikings Norman's and English Something drastic must have happened the Conquest must have been more complete than we beleived till now}
When you ask about 'looks like', there are various questions as to what you mean. Specially in the context of genetics such as this video. Irish people, appearance wise, don't all look alike, and neither do people from various other places. But there are broad similarities from population to population, as there are differences within them. In other words, depending on your reference point, you'd assume things that may be partly true, but not the whole truth. Basically, humans are not cookie cut in a factory, differences in appearances overlap within and outside of country boarders. And the same can be said if you were asking about genetic similarities. Think of all of it as a gradient across humanity. Everyone shares DNA at 99.9% regardless of location or appearances. All Europeans share a mix of the same populations back in the Bronze age, but in different proportions depending on location. There's plenty of literature on all of this, and according to your question, it appears you'd due better reading a bit on the topic, if you're interested to unpack it all and have a clearer understanding.
Everything was displaced by R1b and in most cases killed and thus wiped out from the gene pool.
Way back hundreds of soldiers or sailers from the Spanish armada were caught in a storm off the coast of kerry and washed up in tralee bay they were fleeing from the British and the irish people hid them from the British and most of them settled with irish wife's never returning to Spain and you do see lots if darker skin people around tralee especially in the summer
It's a bit of a myth, but interesting. Dark hair, eyes, and medium to light skin comes from the Farmer population that settled western Europe in pre-history. They were replaced and absorbed by people that were nomads from the east. Previous to those two groups, there were hunter-gathers which had light eyes and dark skin, and the three populations mixed to form the Europeans of today. So relatedness among Europeans is very old, and depending on the mixture of those ancestral people, folks today would vary in appearance. Argument being, Irish people with dark feature are just Irish. Folk all across Europe don't look Nordic, necessarily. But the legend is neat in a sense, as I don't know that I'd leave a warm cottage with an Irish Lass.
Spanish, or Iberian = Basque?
I would have to see their Panel Profile and Test Results.
Theres an odd lack of coarity on this point, and Public overwhelmingly has an inaccurate idea Span8sh when its Basque.

The Basque look genetically similar to their neighbors, French, Spanish, Iberian and so on. The naming conventions fall into a broader one of Southern European, which nests inside of European and so on. I match with Ballynahatty Woman, but also with the Rathlin remains, I used Spanish for the title as it's my Ancestry. Though I could say American, or break it down in various ways. Since DNA is shared within and across populations, the idea that one group is different than another required elimination of common shared segments, in order to arrive at usable differences for the scope of a study. But I'll say it plainly, I not only have ancestry from Spain, but have it from across the Iberian peninsula, to include the Basque. Southern Europeans carry more Farmer DNA than Northwest Europeans, and this is shared with the Ballynahatty Woman. The trouble is, if broadening the scope of what you're looking at, All Europeans match each other anyhow. But this was a look at something specific, and holds true still. I added footnotes as well in the description.
IBERIAN=Península Ibérica= Portugal+ Espanha.
🇪🇸 Pues yo soy 100% español y parezco español.

No one in Ireland pronounces Ballynahatty or Rathlin the way you do. Very annoying having to listen to the continious mispronounciation. Other than that a good video. I've a DNA match to her on my mums side and to the Rathlin Island burials on my dads
Language is such, that pronunciations vary from place to place, specially with distance and when local linguistic norms are unavailable. You won't find me River Dancing either. Some in the Isles off of mainland Europe sing with American accents, but speak according to their locations, what's up with that? That's a rhetorical question. The gist of the topic was the focus in the title. I sure I'd be better served pronouncing those words as the locals would, but that was not available to me. Thanks for the compliment over the video.
These are extremely old remains. Most people of North Western European heritage, if not all, would be related to these remains in some way. Using modern national countries to compare to old remains is meaninglessness
The literature from Trinity College, Dublin, Queen's University, Belfast, and others, is clear. The Ballynahatty Woman is genetically closer to Spain, and Southern Europe. And the context is found, clearly, in the video, and footnotes linked. I'd imagine, though this may be meaningless to you, geneticists would disagree, specially the ones that worked to give the world this important data and insight. Your particular comment, over 'all people sharing genetics with ancient remains', is a different topic all together, though valid in its own right.

It is not very useful to have a battle over how folks look or not, when there's billions of people on earth, and they're a gradient of each other, not hard drawn lines. Unless the goal is some tribal chest pounding of sorts, then I guess that would have it's utility, but it's silly. My video is about the Ballynahatty Woman, and modern Spanish populations being connected by DNA. I attached sources from researchers, and it's not in dispute by anyone serious. The conversation you and others are having over how populations look, is a huffing and puffing match, and a waste of time.
