This group is associated with the Cro-Magnons. Based on archaeological excavations, particularly in France, it's believed that the Cro-Magnons wove clothes, built huts and painted.

The Ice Age may have played a role in the disp[ersion of the Artisans (R1b). At the peak of the Ice Age a European ice shelf extended as far as southern Ireland, mid England and northern Germany, completely covering Scandinavia. Most of continental Europe was tundra and the land only supported trees as far south as southern France, northern Italy and areas north of the Balkans and across the Black Sea. Thus the Artisans most likel;y moved south of the tree-line for their resources, making permanent homes where their descendents remained even when the ice shelf receded. Others returned north once resources were again available.

About 70% of individuals currently residing in England are members of the Artisans. Other members can be found at high ratesin the modern day populations of Spain, Portugal, France, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Based on observation and other archaeological and hsitorical information, it is likely that Dowling ancient ancestors also populated these areas. The Artisans include a genetic group known as the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH), which features greatly among the Irish and Welsh poulations.

Some researchers believe that the genes associated with the AMH moved with the early Celtic migrations, Although ancient ancestral Celts were a diverse group and varied in many ways, certain mythologies are consistent throughout most Celtic traditions, despite geographiocal or tribal boundaries. More than 300 Celtic deities have been described, many of which are refloected in classic Roman counterparts. The god Lugh (or Lugus) may have played an important role among those deities. Folklore and storytelling has infused Lugh's character with magic and fantasy, given him credit for thunder and lightening, and placed his stage in the sky.

The widespread acceptance of Lugh in Celtic culture is supported bby the use of his name as teh root of city names. Lyon, the present day city in southeastern France was called Lugdunum in Roman times. The city of Leiden in south Holland may also have its roots in teh name of the god.

P312 is a very large Haplogroup subclade and contains most of the historical, ethnic "white" European males having long since mutated from their African black ancestors. Members of the P312 group populated Western Europe about 4,800 years ago and their descendants spread further west to Great Britain and Ireland.

Around 2,800BCE and lasting in continental Europe until 2,300BCE was the famous 'Bell Beaker Culture'. Named after the inverted bell shaped drinking vessels used for drinking at the beginning of the European Bronze Age. Widely scattered throughout Western Europe the 'beakers' were made by cording clay before hardening and the people who made them are often called the 'Beaker Folk and also expanded eastwards as far as Poland.

These people were capable of multiple technologies including ceramics, work in copper and gold, archery, ornamentation, ideologies, etc. They buried their dead and occassionally used cremation. The Beaker Folk are more a product of shared culture rather than specific geneology although the culture appears to be closely connected to family units migrating to the British Isles.

The Y chromosome is passed from father to son remaining mostly unaltered across generations, except for small traceable changes in DNA. By tracking these changes, we constructed a family tree of humankind where all male lineages trace back to a single common ancestor who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago. This human tree allows us to explore lineages through time and place and to uncover the modern history of your direct paternal surname line and the ancient history of our shared ancestors.

Haplogroup R-M124 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup characterized by genetic markers M124, P249, P267, L266, and is mainly found in South Asia, parts of Central and West Asia.

Origins

According to the Genographic Project conducted by the National Geographic Society, Haplogroup R-M124 arose about 25,000 years ago in Central Asia [4] and its members migrated southward as part of the second[5] major wave of human migration into India.[6]

According to Sengupta et al. (2006),

uncertainty neutralizes previous conclusions that the intrusion of HGs R1a1 and R2 [Now R-M124] from the northwest in Dravidian-speaking southern tribes is attributable to a single recent event. Rather, these HGs contain considerable demographic complexity, as implied by their high haplotype diversity. Specifically.

Haplogroup P1, also known as P-M45 and K2b2a, is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup in human genetics. Defined by the SNPs M45 and PF5962, P1 is a primary branch (subclade) of P* (P-P295; K2b2).

The only primary subclades of P1 are Haplogroup Q (Q-M242) and Haplogroup R (R-M207). These haplogroups now comprise most of the male lineages among Native Americans, Europeans, Central Asia and South Asia, among other parts of the world.

P1 (M45) likely originated in East Asia or Southeast Asia,[2][1] even though basal P1* (P1xQ,R) is now most common among individuals in Eastern Siberia and Central Asia.[5] Both P* and its precursor, K2b, reach their highest rates among members of the Aeta (or Agta) people of Luzon in the Philippines,[3][1] and; Luzon is also the only location where P*, P1 and haplogroup P2 (P-B253; K2b2b), the only other primary subclade of P*, have been found together.[6][1][2]. A 2018 study found basal P1* in two Siberian individuals dated to the Upper Paleolithic (~31,630 cal BP) from a Yana river archaeological site.[7]

In human genetics, Haplogroup P (M45) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup.

This haplogroup contains the patrilineal ancestors of most Europeans and almost all of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It also contains approximately one third to two thirds of the males among various populations of Central Asia and Southern Asia.

Origins

Haplogroup P is a branch of Haplogroup MNOPS, which is a branch of Haplogroup K (M9). It is believed to have arisen north of the Hindu Kush, in Siberia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, or along the Silk Road in the region of Xinjiang, Gansu, or Ningxia, before being pressed North, approximately 35,000 years ago. An alternate postulated theory supported by Gansu, Ningxia is that this group moved along the opposite side of the Tibetan plateau along the Sichuan Mountains, before taking the silk route and Bering land bridge. The climate was much different and would have supported more life and grasslands in Tarim Basin, Mongolia, and Manchuria. The sea levels were up to 370 feet lower 18,000 years ago, and significantly lower the last 100,000 years, allowing for an easy expansion of Haplogroup K throughout East Asia, and through the grasslands north of Beijing, going West to the Tarim Basin and North East to Manchuria.

The descendant haplogroups of P include Q (M242) and R (M207).

In human genetics, Haplogroup K-M9 (M9) is a Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. This haplogroup is a descendant of Haplogroup IJK. Its major descendant haplogroups are Haplogroup LT (L298 = P326) and Haplogroup K(xLT) (M526).[2] Paragroup K (haplogroups K*, K1, K2, K3 and K4) are found in Oceania, and Australia and only at low frequency in South Asia and the Malay Archipelago.

Origins

Y-DNA haplogroup K-M9 is an old lineage established approximately 40,000-50,000 years ago whose origins were probably in Southwestern Asia or South Asia. At present this group contains two distinct classes of subgroups: (1) major groups L to T (refer to the main tree at Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree) and (2) minor groups K-M9* and K1 to K4, which do not have any of the SNPs defining the major groups. These groups are found at low frequencies in various parts of Eurasia, Australia and the South Pacific.[3].
