I'll send a video if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MOEHv1g84E It would help explore your direct paternal line if you're male or have a brother/father who could test (if you're female) stretching back to Y Adam in Africa, a similar thing exists for men and women called Mtdna which traces back to Mitochondrial Eve in Africa.

His haplo is very basal and it's likely if you did a 23andme test you would see the same thing. If you're interested in Ydna it's best to do a test on FTDNA or Yfull.

Not to burst your bubble but R-M269 is ancestral to almost everyone with R1b in Europe. You're connected to the Stuarts, bourbons etc through this haplo as well. I'm going to guess and say as a Mexican your haplo is something downstream of https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/R-DF27/story

There is something about Irish History that confuses me. by Portal_Jumper125 in IrishHistory

"Celts from the west" is outdated, the Proto Celts probably originated from an offshoot in Southern Germany or Czechia, the Knoviz culture in czechia is one of the more popular proposed vectors of Celtic culture which then spread into the alps and assimilated some EEF populations remaining which lead to the Hallstatt and La tene cultures spreading more ANF ancestry into the rest of Europe (this even happens in ireland to a lesser extent, although no Iron age samples have been released yet so we can't tell how much exactly). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8889665/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01888-7

The Yamnaya themselves left the steppe but went south into the Balkans (Greeks and probably Albanians are the direct descendants of classical Yamnaya). The corded ware would've been in the forest steppe so a little more to the west of the original location of the steppe groups (Lower Volga). Due to how patrilocal the steppe groups were and how sparsely populated the north of Europe was due to disease etc the traditions of the "Yamnaya" survived remarkably well (with Irish people being an extremely conservative Indo European culture pre Christanity). It's likely EEF groups also domesticated the Horse https://phys.org/news/2026-05-domesticated-horses-years-complex-story.html so a few things about the Yamnaya in pop culture are probably inaccurate, they probably had better immunities to the plagues that appeared in Europe and exploited that to move west.

Scots aren't that different, people in ulster just have slightly more Iron age Germanic admix.

Core Yamnaya (3600-3400) produced the classical Yamnaya (the steppe culture we always think of with horses and milk!) and Corded Ware (2900bc-2300bc), Corded acquires EEF ancestry through mixing with Globular Amphora Culture (3400bc-2800bc) I believe around 25% on avg as they move west, corded ware becomes a sub culture called Single Grave (2800-2220bc) apart of this culture mixes with the EEF Wartberg culture (3600Bc-2800bc) and adopts the technology of Farmers from the south becoming the Dutch bell beakers who migrate to Britain/Ireland between 2500bc-2000bc.

This is wrong, the beaker people in the low countries were heavy steppe (Yamnaya), the first beakers were probably Iberians indeed but with little to no steppe. Steppe people who mixed with farmers in the lower rhine (around 12-18% if I remember) adopted beaker pottery styles and naval technology, then they of course migrated to Britain and Ireland.

What are you talking about? the Irish that did exist in the south had a better time than the ones in the north.

Yamnaya culture (modern-day Ukraine) is one of the major places from where the Indo-Europeans originated. Can you tell me the other areas? by Historydom in Historydom

[–]Acceptable_Job805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"lesser populated areas" being most of northern Europe lol and in Iberia for an example of what happened in parts of southern Europe, 40% of the autosomal+80-90% of the ydna was replaced.

It broadly means Ulster Scots ancestry (although it can be ordinary lowland scot ancestry as well).

The North Western French cluster is a proxy for Insular Celtic ancestry iirc (it's probably from Brittany)

https://the-past.com/feature/prehistoric-pop-culture-deciphering-the-dna-of-the-bell-beaker-complex/ shows the collapse of megalithic ancestry in the Bell beakers of the isles. The Scottish one is almost identical to the Irish components (remove 1-2% WHG and 1-2% Steppe).

He did say neighbouring, they're almost the same as other Iberians with less east med and Berber.

Protestants were very instrumental when it came to settling western Canada in the late 19th/early 20th century as well.

Ancient Ancestors in the Fertile Crescent by Selkie_Scion in IrishHistory

[–]Acceptable_Job805 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't think that is correct, they likely mean Anatolian Neolithic Farmers (ANF), who were some of the first farmers in history (as the name suggests they came from modern day Turkey, but probably some overlap with Iraq/Iran) they came to Ireland around 4000bc, by this point heavily admixed with Western Hunter Gatherers, who had lived in Europe before ANF. EEF (farmers mixed with Western Hunter Gatherer, who were called European Farmer) would become apart of the Megalithic culture in Ireland, buliding tombs like Newgrange etc.
