Frisians: how Anglo-Saxons looked like before mixing with Celts

[Peterski]

All of these samples have cultural links with Scandinavia.

What are the cultural links with Scandinavia of that ancient Czech U106?

BTW, even places like Belarus or Serbia have similar frequencies of "Germanic Y-DNA" to that "around 15%" which you mentioned for France etc.

[PaleoEuropean]

Even looking just at R1b subclades, this is not true, England has much more Z290 (and most of Dutch Z290 is in southern parts of the country, close to the Belgae):

The majority of England is Celtic though not Saxon.

Unetice was a pan-European phenomenon and involved migrations from Scandinavia. The oldest U106 is Scandinavian.
Show me the figures for Serbia and Belarus.

There is some residual roman in Wales I think though, 5000 legionnaires were garrisoned near Newport, South East Wales for 300 years, there are a few people that pop up like that now and again.

You get a lot of borrebies in Wales though too for some reason, maybe I am wrong

[Davystayn]

Definitely a lot of neolithic looking people in Wales though, especially in the west

[Davystayn]

Silures were based in the Glamorgan area I think, they were indeed said to be dark curly haired, there were obviously big difference already between regions around the roman period.

Anyone has Aran Islander GEDmatch kit?

I found a 100% Guernsey kit lately (all 16 great-great grandparents from there). Similar to Belgians, English and Northern French.

They'd most likely be similar to someone from Galway or thereabouts although being an island population they might have some differences due to drift.

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes the British are similar to Russians. That's why I scored 20% British in a test based on People of the British Isles Project (ca. 2000 reference samples). Huh! But their East-Central European references sucked back then. My new updated results are 0% British.

Well I knew that it could not be anything recent, but ancient shared ancestry with Britain.

You could try subtractions of your main ancestry to see what pops up. I had mine done by ph2ter and this is what he said. "In respect to Irish average you are shifted toward Scandinavia (Sweden and Finnic peoples, even the Baltic ones and a little Caucasian)." This is all consistent with my other results. This sort of thing even shows up in Gedmatch.

[Grace O'Malley]

Generally Wales is bad for farming, that's why the Anglo-Saxons did not even bother to conquer it. They just built a dyke around it (Offa's Dyke) to prevent the Welsh from taking back their former lands. You can expect the same from all previous invaders. Nobody wanted / bothered to settle in Wales. So the Welsh must have the most ancient ancestry. Also probably no any Roman admixture, because the Romans did not care to settle there.

So you can't explain their southern shift with the Romans.

I'm not aware that the Welsh are more southern shifted than the Irish and Scots. I also am a bit dubious that Welsh would have the most ancient ancestry. They've had a lot of other populations like the English and Normans there. I'd say some island populations off the coast of Ireland or Scotland might retain more ancient genetics although who knows?

Frisians are most Germanic looking people on earth, as well as tallest and blondest. Genetically they are pure Germanic as well.

Are Scandinavians partly mixed with mongoloids or what?
