The original Brits are Basque? – Stephen Oppenheimer's DNA research – plus Bodmer update…

(Before It's News)

a couple of months ago, Free Planet told of the work of Oxford College's Sir Walter Bodmer that gave a strong case for the claim that The Welsh are the True British and this lends further weight to my current fetish with the Brythonic-Coelbren research of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett who claim that there were two Welsh Kings called Arthur and that each kicked out both the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons during their respective reigns.

Here's a nice graphic from the above-mentioned Oxford-Bodmer research that shows a) most of the UK population up until the Roman Invasion of AD40 comprised of mostly Germanic Beaker people and b) there was a MAJOR MASS MIGRATION of Northern French hunters or farmers, or at least people who contributed greatly to the genetic stock, some time after the original post-ice-age Germanic migration and some time before the Roman invasion.

If you look closely, you will see that the large wedge of Northern French pie that makes up the majority of southern British DNA is absent from the Welsh colonies, hence the statement that “The Welsh are the True British”. But wait a minute…

And I asked this of Sir Bodmer this morning, “Does this still leave the “Welsh” as early-Germanic from the post-ice-age migration? Or is it that you're only pie-charting those European components that are most likely for such an age? I'm asking are you initially-discounting a genetic contribution from the Mediterranean/Syrian/Egyptian sea-faring blood lines? Or are they just not their in the rural samples you've taken?” I'll post any relevant replies I receive to these questions.

It will be interesting to see how many suppositions have been made in the Bodmer data and whether DNA-researchers like Stephen Oppenhemier have made a stronger case for The Basque People as being the original mass-migrators to these post-ice-age lands. I'd also like to see the linguistic connectivity between the Basque language and Welsh… but that's for a later post.
