Apparently, information concerning Tut's patrilinear genotype was extracted but not released by Egyptian authorities. However, the results were leaked in the below documentary and are purportedly consistent with the R1b haplogroup which has its highest concentration in Ireland and weakens as you...

Fascinating read. However, I don't think this really changes anything.

Source I've looked but couldn't find the 'more tomorrow' could someone be kind enough to forward a URL if found? Anyway, I found this an interesting article. Very close to outright aggressive belittlement, but could that thought be because it is the truth and it is ugly and unwanted? An...

Full story But isn't race a social construct? :P

Very interesting read.

Race Exists! There's more variation within the marsh and within the field than between the marsh and the field. Thus, marsh and field are meaningless concepts! "Research in human genetics has highlighted that there is more genetic variation within than between human groups,...

The Genetic Map of Europe

I have done a lot of research in to our ties with Scotland. For instance, I know Scoti or Scotti (Old Irish Scot, modern Scottish Gaelic Sgaothaich) was the generic name given by the Romans to the Celtic Gaels who raided from Ireland. Some of them, from the Ulster Kingdom of Dál Riata, migrated...

I remember reading about the so called "Celtic Toe", if your big toe is the same length as the next one, then you're almost certain to be of Celtic origin with virtually none lost through intermarriage. Firstly, is it nonsense and secondly, do you have the Celtic toe? :na-na

Northern European Genetics Genome-wide study uncovers an increase of genetic distances towards Northern Europe A recent study shows that genetic differences in Central Europe appear smaller than between and even within North European populations. The study, led by researcher Päivi Lahermo...

Hi everyone, I'm debating an Englishman who is claiming that the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English "are all genetically the same people". I've cited a few genetic studies showing otherwise to which he responded with this: http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/printarticle.php?id=7817. He is...

Celtic roots lie in Spain and Portugal THE Welsh have more in common with sun-kissed glamour pusses like actress Penelope Cruz and footballer Christiano Ronaldo than pale- faced Germans like Helmet Kohl, according to an academic. Professor John Koch suggests the Welsh can trace their ancestry...

I think I am confused by all of the various studies that I have read about the genetic history of Ireland and the British Isles. Can anyone here fill me in on the REAL genetic history of the Celts? I am aware that the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroup in Ireland and the British Isles (as...

Here is an article from John Tyndale's "Spearhead" website, showing how genetics can be misinterpreted to attack those they dislike: http://www.spearhead.com/0001-jt3.html Whilst Celtic identity is important to the Irish, the issue of Irish Nationalism doesn't exactly hinge on it.

Being ill in the bed at the moment, and bored, I got out a tape and a calipers and measured my head at http://dienekes.awardspace.com/calc/rac/ I came out as Proto-Europoid three times. I never even heard of that kind of monkey before let alone know that I was one. Can anybdy here shed any light...

English and Welsh are races apart BBC News June 30, 2002 Gene scientists claim to have found proof that the Welsh are the "true" Britons. The research supports the idea that Celtic Britain underwent a form of ethnic cleansing by Anglo-Saxons invaders following the Roman...
