Where we differ is that I think that the "Cruithne" were initially assimilated to the Brythonic (British) Celts, not the Goidelic (Irish) Celts. By the way, Ewan Campbell's thesis of a common "Gaelic" (Q-Celtic) culture bridging the Irish Sea has largely been debunked: A critical analysis of Dr...

I don't think that the Gaels can be entirely eliminated from being the source population of L1195>L137>L126+. Post-BB ancient samples might still be found in Ireland. L1195 ancient samples have been found more in Britain (the oldest from Scotland c. 3800 BCE, and four others from England...

I have no reason to believe that the "Picts" were other than P-Celtic-speaking "Brythons" who were cut off and isolated by the Romans (through the Hadrian and Antonine Walls and forts/campaigns between and beyond them). The Brythonic "Picts" would have occupied all of Scotland (north of the...

I'm not sure what you're asking. The line is I-M284 (9600 BCE*) > FGC14213 (6050 BCE) > L1195 (4100 BCE) > L137 (3750 BCE)> L126 (1600 BCE). * FTDNA Discovery Report estimated "most recent common ancestor". There are 56 ancient samples that are M284+: Ireland (30), Great Britain (23...

I intentionally placed quotes around Picts and followed it with a question mark ('West/Isles "Picts"?'). That is less theorizing (elaborately or not), than simply indicating that it constitutes, in my opinion, an open question. (I don't subscribe to the "lost Irish tribe" thesis that some are...

Because 1) I2a-L126 was found on Pabay Mor (off the West coast of the Isle of Lewis), in the Outer Hebrides, who lived c. 1311 BCE, and I2a-M284 was found in New Grange (the "incest" god-king), in Ireland, who lived c. 3522 BCE. M284 is pre-Bell Beaker and L126 is pre-Celtic. My line (West/Isles...

I don't believe this was bubonic plague, spread by rats and fleas, but pneumonic plague, spread through the air in water droplets (coughing, sneezing, spitting, etc.). Steppe herders would be less likely to catch it, due to being more dispersed and mobile, but could have carried and spread it...

51% Hunter-Gatherer, 39% Farmer, and 10% Metal Age Invader. 0% Non-European. 47% England/Wales/Scotland, 21% Scandinavian, 20% Central Europe. 13% Ireland. So, basically 80% Northern Europe, 20% Central Europe. My Y-DNA lineage (I2a1b1/M223..M284..L126..Y4751) was pre-Celtic, pre-Bell Beaker...

I-L699 is included in the I-L703 Haplogroup. I2a-M223 > P222 > CTS616 > CTS10057 > L702 > S22311 > L703/L699 > PF6902 > L704 > FT384999 (I12471 - Swat Valley, Katelai and I12149 - Swat Valley, Katelai)

The two I2a-FT384999 samples in question are not Burz3 or Burz7, but I12471 - Swat Valley, Katelai and I12149 - Swat Valley, Katelai, both c.850 BCE. They arrived before 850 BCE and are positive for I2a-L702 & L703, the oldest ancient samples of which have been found in Ukraine (upper-Dnieper...

Not just R1a-Z93, but also I2a-L702: Bug–Dniester culture 6300–5000 bce; Dnieper-Donets 5000-4200 bce; Sredny Stog 4500-3500 bce; Yamnaya 3300-2600 bce; Sintashta 2200-1900 bce; Andronovo 2000-1150 bce I2a-M223 > P222 > CTS616 > CTS10057 > L702 > S22311 > L703 > PF6902 > L704 > FT384999 L702...

I was not responding directly to you. You are the one who cast the slur at the authors of the study, basically calling them "Nordicist" racists. How does that contribute to an open and fair discussion of the merits (and demerits) of the study? It doesn't, but is an attempt to poison and torpedo...

I'm assuming no one else is objecting (I hear "crickets") to the casting of this slur (tantamount to being called a Aryanist, Fascist, Nazi, White Nationalist, etc.), because they don't want it to be cast at them. I can only assume that his intention is to poison any open discussion of the...

Other than his father, at least four generations of his paternal (Nietzsche) line were born in Burkau, Saxony, in what had been the Mark of Lausitz (March of Lusatia): "The March or Margraviate of Lusatia (German: Mark(grafschaft) Lausitz) was an eastern border march of the Holy Roman Empire in...

You share a common ancestor with testers who trace their ancestors back to the British Isles. Where he lived, other than somewhere north of the Alps, is anyone's guess. You could, for instance, be related to the Latins > Urnfield > Unitice (which also spawned the Celts) or back through the...

"There was a legend in the Nietzsche family, to which Friedrich was happy to subscribe, to the effect that they were descended from members of the Polish nobility by the name of “Nietzky,” who had left their homeland to avoid persecution because of their Protestant faith. This gave the family a...

"Let's also note that the House of Habsburg-Lorraine is not the same Y-DNA line as the Habsburg. They descend from the Dukes of Lorraine, who themselves descend from the Counts of Metz in the 11th century." - Maciamo.

Because there is no God, only the Force. Lucas described himself as being a "Buddhist Methodist". The Buddha, of course, was not a divine being, but a human exemplar.

I have a YFull SNP Match with an Ola Johnson Viktil, b. 1749 Trondelag, Norway, likely through a common ancestor who lived in Northern Ireland (The Ulaid) c. 650 CE (give or take a couple hundred years). He shares a common ancestor with two Byrnes c. 750 CE. His "Irish" ancestor could have been...
