I was reading that the Irish originated in the northern part of Spain and migrated to Ireland 10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Ages. But according to this: Eupedia Origins Haplogroups of Europe, R1b did not reach Western Europe until 2,500 BCE. So I'm a little confused. Did the first...

Thanks! But on the Gedrosia map, for example, does this mean that the Irish are 10% Persian?

The problem is that my results on 23andMe are completely European, so I don't know which one is more accurate.

I guess this would be the question I am asking. Did some Irish people retain features of their Middle Eastern ancestors? Clearly not most of them, but do the minority who we call "Black Irish" retain darker features from their Near Eastern Ancestors? Or does it come from somewhere else?

Southern Germans do not cluster genetically with Northern Germans (making them not really German genetically). So who are they? Are they related to Italians?

Masculinization of the brain as indicated by 2D:4D ratio could be passed down via y haplogroups. According to a study done on 1,260 Austrian individuals, 2D:4D is strongly heritable along paternal lines. This suggests a y chromosome component to fetal testosterone levels. If anyone else has...
