Researchers Trace Roots of the Irish and Wind Up in Spain

For the observer of St. Patrick's Day festival last week, they wanted to know the origins of all these Irish people, and science provided an unexpected answer: Spain

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin told that the Irish people in Connaught in the Western Region of Ireland are descendants of almost all of the hunters and collectors who lived in Ireland prior to the invention of agriculture The ancient Irish surname and DNA I used the evidence from the analysis.

Archaeologists believe that agricultural inventors began to emigrate from the Near East's house for about 9 500 years, gradually spread throughout Europe and replaced existing marriages or married existing residents.

Dr. Daniel G. Bradley of Trinity et al. Analyzed the DNA signature which was thought to belong to the first inhabitants. With respect to the proportion of the population with signature, it ranges from 2% in Turkey to 63% in the UK, up to 78% in Ireland as if reflecting the degree of mixing and gathering between European ancestors and hunters , Europe has a gradient. Agricultural invaders

The signature is a set of mutations in the conventional DNA sequence carried on the Y chromosome and the Y chromosome remains unchanged between the parent pair. Because the inheritance of the surname is the same as the Y chromosome in Ireland, Dr. Bradley measured the commonality of Irish male DNA signatures from northern, southern, eastern and western Ireland.

He and his colleagues report that the gradation of DNA signature in Ireland is continuing in today 's "Nature" magazine. 98% of Kono people on the west coast have an autograph.

Based on the signature genetic variation, Dr. Bradley estimates that the Irish version was born from an individual over 4,000 years ago. As Ireland is believed to have lived for 9000 years, signed Irish people may become descendants of the first inhabitants of their country.

Dr. Bradley states as follows. "In the western part of Ireland you can see the situation in Western Europe before planting."

The first vector of European ancestral DNA signatures is estimated to exist about 30,000 years ago and may be one of the earliest modern humans after the Neanderthales were expelled. Apart from Ireland, the signature is the most common in the Basque Country of northern Spain and 89% of men carry it.

In the last glacial Europe in Europe, about 10,000 years ago Spain was a shelter for many animals and plants, and with flight retreat these flora and fauna migrated to Europe. Dr. Bradley believes that people may have done this.

Dr. Brian Sykes, a human geneticist at Oxford University in the UK, said that he followed a similar pattern of gene flow from Spain to Brittany, Ireland and Western Scotland. As the glacier retreats, the people of the Middle Stone era - the Middle Stone era - clearly has a sea route from the warm shelter in Southern Europe.

Geneticists are not the first people to connect Ireland to Spain. According to the Celtic legend, 1000 years before the birth of Christ, the son of a man named Miricus arrived in Ireland from Spain.

The Scottish - Irishmen arrived at the lowlands of Scotland, but their immigrants moved to Ireland. The term Scottish Irish language was born in the United States to distinguish between Scottish Protestant Irish and Irish Catholic. Immigration from Scotland - Ireland to the USA urges immigrants from Scotland - Ireland to introduce the flax cultivation and flax production to America by Ireland 's linen trade. Many of the other Scottish Irish colonists left Ireland, tired of British tyranny, high rents and harvest failures and settled in the "backcountry" covering the Blue Ridge Mountains and the American Appalachia region. For other facts, see History and Statistics Immigration to Scotland - United States.

In the history of the past 200 years, one of the biggest events in Ireland is "Great Famine". If you are an American and descendant of an Irish, you can trace your ancestors until this time in the history of Ireland. During the famine of 1845 to 1852, more than one million Irish people died due to the failure of the main crop potatoes, more than one million immigrants died. In order to find a better lifestyle, these Irish people endangered their lives traveling to the United States with a "coffin ship" and settled on the east coast on arrival. Potato famine has affected many Europe. There are other ways for Irish people to supply food such as cattle and sheep. However, they had to sell these for the high rents of the stolen land that the British demanded. If an Irishman can not pay the rent, they will be driven out of the house or the land. Therefore, they can not produce food.
