Ancient Icelandic samples

[Peterski]

I will post here maps for some samples from Iceland, including the ones labelled as 100% Norse or 100% Gaelic:



Here is KNS-A-1 one of 100% Gaelic samples, but lower coverage than SSG-A4 which I will also post later today.



They will also be added to Global25.

The gaelics was genetically very close to the continental celts?

I look forward to modelling myself with this guy.

Pretty similar to my drunk Irish uncles.

The gaelics was genetically very close to the continental celts?

Both descended from Bell beakers but besides that very genetically isolated, Likely in part due to the fact that the Roman empire controlled most of Celtic Europe including the southern half of Great Britain, and after the bell beakers invaded Britain there wasn’t much contact with the outside except for the Bronze Age Atlantic system and the La tene influence. That’s the reason Gaelic evolved so differently at first from Brythonic and Gaulish
