The people of northwest Ireland, the Highland Scots and the western islanders of Norway all have between 16 and 25%, while the Lapps of Norway and Finland have between 5 and 7%. The next highest are the Basques, reported in different publications as having 25 and 32%, depending on location. The highest percentage (of rh negatives) is found among some of the tribes still living in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco (40%). The third primary branch, R1b1c (R-M335), is rare and found mostly in Western Asia. While Western Europe is dominated by the downstream subclades of R1b1b – especially R1b1b2 (R-M269) – the Fulɓe and Chadic-speaking peoples of Africa are dominated by the primary branch now known as R1b1a (R-V88). Is there any way to deny a connection between R1b, the Celtic marker and rh negative blood? Scotland has also frequencies as high as 30% or more in some parts rh negatives wise and Catalans are more or less 25% rh negative. Lower than that of Northern Ireland, but let’s keep in mind that northwest Ireland has the highest frequency of R1b, the Celtic marker with more than 98% in some regions. The same source highlights a study of more than 60,000 individuals in Wales and their rh negative frequency is around 17.01%. Ireland has varying reports, but in Northern Ireland out of over 10,000 people examined, 27.33% were rh negative. This marker is today the highest in Basque Country, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Catalonia.Īs we all know, Basque Country is the highest for rh negative blood in Europe. The word Bayern is “Boiern” germanized as it derives from the word Boii which is the name of a Celtic tribe which settled in the Alps to be protected by altitude.Īs the original Bavarians were a Celtic tribe, today’s residents’ genepool contains around 30 percent of the Celtic R1b marker meaning that while the genepool of the neighbors came in, so did the Celtic marker get spread around the region from Celtic individuals mixing with their neighbors, so of course with Europe not being an isolated island like Crete, the marker spread all over Europe. The word Bavaria is Bayern in German or Boiern as it sounds with the Bavarian accent. Often mistaken as a “typical German outfit”, the traditional Trachten are actually a Celtic tradition. And I cannot believe what I have read.Īs an example I am going to use Bavaria in southern Germany. “Haplogroup R1b is being associated with being Celtic, but it cannot be true, because R1b exists in every country.” What exactly does it mean to be “Celtic”? The truth is going back, way back in time is needed to truly be able to pinpoint a heritage. If only it were that easy to label heritage. One of the questions I receive again and again is if rh negative blood is to be considered Celtic, Jewish, Viking etc.
