@BritLes9 i have heard about the black irish and also that the Galic speaking people in Spain are Irish? which is what i guess what some of this video is about with the Galic speaking people.

My mums family are Irish and have pure jet black hair and look Spanish

@Thrashgu Indeed!

[Thrashgu]

@gespb32 That was my point

@Thrashgu The find of spanish bear bones & skins that were used to make pre-mesolithic rafts were found in the caves of south & west Ireland, they were radio-dated to 9000bc, this along with fact that Irish people have the highest similarity of DNA with the Basque/Galician region of northern spain proves beyond doubt that the Irish are originally from Iberia.

It is the highest similarity in Europe.

@gespb32 There is an interesting article about that, and also the similarities of cattle and another animals between the north of Spain (Asturias specifically) and Ireland & UK

The Irish have between 80-95% DNA similarity of the Y Chromosome with the peoples of the Basque & Galician regions of the Iberian peninsula, it is the highest than anywhere else in the World.

This is also confirmed by the find of Spanish bear bones on the south & west of Ireland, they came directly from Iberia.
