Welcome to a brand of
Mathematical
Services. Having now received a DNA Analysis of my origins I can say that firstly there is a dichotomy between recent origins and older more ancient origins. My recent origins correspond closely with what I have learned via tracing the written record - South Yorkshire (the last few hundred years), which was originally part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. However I (i.e. my surname, fathers line) was totally absent in this region 350 years ago. Earlier my genetic male origins were of that of the 'Atlantic Celtic' branch living on the shores of Western Europe, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Brittany having been pushed about by Angol Saxon settlers. Also common in Iceland and Norway via Viking slave raids. My mothers line is less known to me (i.e. at a more ancient time period, as recently (2-3 hundred years ago) it is more known to me than my father's). It seems to have originated from a woman East of the Mediteranean 17,000 years ago. I don't think that is much of a revelation, everybody came from around there as there was a migration out of Africa. What is a little surprising is that my mother's haplogroup (formal term) is now not common in England (where she now is) but is more found in Russia, Romania, The Caucuses, Iran and Tunisia. I think making sense out of the dichtomomy between old and new we'll look midway. I know where I am now, where I was 17,000 years ago isn't that important as it's probably the same place as lots of people as they sheltered from the Ice Age wherever they could. Post a comment: |
