Welches sind die ältesten Völker Europas ?
07.06.2007 um 11:03Auf der englischen Wiki-Seite steht etwas Interessantes zu den Basken:
"Recent
genetic studies (Stephen Oppenheimer) have shown that about 75% of the people of the
British Isles have bloodlines that can be traced to inhabitants of the Basque areas of
Spain and France based on Y-chromosome and mtDNA analysis. The originators of these genes
are thought to have traveled up the Atlantic Coast in the Upper Palaeolithic and the
Mesolithic period.
A similar proportion of the remaining, Romance speaking,
inhabitants of the whole Iberian peninsula (both Spain and Portugal) share similar
percentages of haplogroup R1b to the people of Britain and Ireland as well as very
similar mtDNA ancestry."
