2015年3月18日 · The finding is the first genetic evidence to confirm what some archaeologists have long been arguing: that Celts represent a tradition or culture rather than a genetic or racial grouping.

One 2016 study, using Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon era DNA found at grave sites in Cambridgeshire, calculated that ten modern-day eastern English samples had 38% Anglo-Saxon ancestry on average whilst ten Welsh and Scottish samples each had 30% Anglo-Saxon ancestry, with a large statistical spread in all cases.

2022年10月16日 · DNA studies are now telling us that Ireland was settled centuries earlier than thought. It was not first settled by the Celts of legend. It was actually those who survived the last ice age...

The blood in Irish veins is Celtic, right? Well, not exactly. Although the history that used to be taught at school said the Irish were a Celtic people who had migrated from central Europe, the latest studies of Irish DNA tell us a very different story.

2015年3月19日 · By constructing the first fine-scale map of the British Isles, Oxford University researchers have uncovered distinct geographical groupings of genetically similar individuals across the UK. The study, published in the journal Nature, found …

This page attempts to retrace the origins of the British and Irish people through the analyses of their genetic markers using Y-chromosomal (Y-DNA) haplogroups, which are passed on nearly unaltered from father to son, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is inherited only from one's mother, and complete genomic studies looking at all the chromosomes.

2015年12月28日 · Scientists have sequenced the first ancient human genomes from Ireland, shedding light on the genesis of Celtic populations. The genome is the instruction booklet for building a human, comprising...

2015年3月18日 · The new research shows people who would consider themselves to have Celtic origin are in fact several distinct genetic groups.

2024年6月25日 · Yes, British people have some Celtic DNA, but it is important to note that they are not solely Celtic. The modern English population is genetically closest to the Celtic peoples of the British Isles, but they are also a mix of other genetic influences.

2015年3月19日 · The Wellcome Trust-funded People of the British Isles study analysed the DNA of 2,039 people from rural areas of the UK, whose four grandparents were all born within 80km of each other. Because a quarter of our genome comes from each of our grandparents, the researchers were effectively sampling DNA from these ancestors, allowing a snapshot of ...
