Predominates in southwest of the Center of Ireland, also found throughout the
west but is rare in the east.
Identified with Gaelic Dalcassian families descendants of CAS (born ca. 347 CE).

3. Atlantic Modal
Haplotype
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMHT
Extracts:
The AMH is the most frequently occurring haplotype amongst human males in
Atlantic Europe.
The AMH is one of the best-characterized of the modal haplotypes of the R1b
haplogroup. This haplotype reaches the highest frequencies in the Iberian
Peninsula and in the British Isles. It reaches 33% in Portugal.
4. The British Isles : The Conquerors
were the same men but different women?
http://www.pnas.org/content/98/9/5078.full.pdf
Brit-Am Comment:
This article is somewhat complicated for the layman. Its conclusions are now
only partially accepted.
It says that the Viking Invasions were they settled did leave a mark on the
local male population.
Right up unto then however all over invasions from the Stone Age right through
the Celtic Iron Age
had the same haplotypes but their women did not.
Basque males similar to British Celts.
The Anglo-Saxons (and Frisians) are problematic occupying a position closer to
the Celts but also
somewhat similar to the Vikings.
5. Reconstructing Indian-Australian

BioMed
Central, 22 July 2009
Background
An early dispersal of biologically and behaviorally modern humans
from their African origins to Australia, by at least 45 thousand years
via southern Asia has been suggested by studies based on morphology,
archaeology and genetics. However,
mtDNA
lineages sampled so far from
south Asia, eastern Asia and Australasia show non-overlapping
distributions of haplogroups
within pan Eurasian M and N
macrohaplogroups.
Likewise, support from the archaeology is still
ambiguous.
Results
In our completely sequenced 966-mitochondrial genomes from 26
relic tribes of India, we have identified seven genomes, which share
two synonymous polymorphisms with the M42
haplogroup,
which is
specific to Australian Aborigines.
Conclusions
Our results showing a shared
mtDNA lineage between Indians and
Australian Aborigines provides direct genetic evidence of an early
colonization of Australia through south Asia, following the "southern
route".
6. European MtDNA
Percentages by Country
http://www.eupedia.com/europe/european_mtdna_
haplogroups_frequency.shtml
Comments:
A very useful URL.
Also has a chart showing the interrelationships of
England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland all almost the same.
All European nations fairly similar to each other.
Finland, Estonia, Latvia have higher percentages of U (ca. 35%) compared to
nations such as Wales at 10%
buy Belgium, France, and the Ukraine also have high proportions of U (ca. 20%).
A Superficial examination notes no major differences from which ancestral
differences may be concluded.
7. Blonde Australian Aboriginals
http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2005/08/
blonde-australian-aboriginals.php
Article is interesting but does not really say much other than that blondness
amongst Australian Aborigines
is almost certainly a native trait (and not due to European admixture) and has
genetic characteristics of its own.
