The y chromosome and autosomal difference between Wales and England is massive in nature. Look at most PCA's that come back in most studies. Wales differs substantially enough from the rest of the UK that it is surprising that the Welsh are located in the UK.
In the new page regarding ancient DNA in Britain, you don't mention where the samples are from. It would be great if someone could mention the exact location of each sample
Hi,
A number of ancient samples are listed on the "genetic analysis of ancient Britain" page. It would be great to know the exact location where each of them was found.
Maciamo, the reality is that many studies show the great German migration and other events like the Roman Empire to have had little impact on the DNA of other peoples. Many studies show that local genetic structure has been in place for a very long time at least until recently.
And finally...
I appreciate all the work you are doing, but you have to stop speaking like an authority on these matters when I don't believe you are. Academic study, after academic study, can find close to 0 genetic impacts of the Romans throughout many of the places they colonized. Not to mention the Romans...
The distribution of Caucasian DNA in Europe is frankly pretty unbelievable and perplexing. There is 10% in Belgians and only 4% in Dutch. It is damn near absent in Scandinavians, and over 10% in Polish people. And yet it is 3% in Russians. It is 20% in Sardinians, close to 10% in much of Spain...
There is a huge problem here.
We need to know WHERE and WHEN these samples all come from. And it would be good to know if there have been any further analyses of these samples either in academic studies or in forums like this.
For example, the only Visigoth samples I'm aware of are from Spain...
