The Theo Vennnemann theory: 10,000 years ago the European people took refuge around the Pyrenees looking for shelter during the Ice Age. This theory has been

refuted by some Basque scholars. However, several genetic researches, such as Cavalli-Sforza’s, John Foster’s, Stephen Oppenheimer’s The Origin of the British, try to prove that after researching the European peoples’ genoma theres’s a common origin in the

Pyrenees.

Tuesday, 3 April, 2001, 13:11 GMT 14:11 UK Genes link Celts to Basques

The Welsh and Irish Celts have been found to be the genetic blood-brothers of Basques, scientists have revealed.

The gene patterns of the three races passed down through the male line are all "strikingly similar",

researchers concluded.

Basques can trace their roots back to the Stone Age and are one of Europe's most distinct people, fiercely

proud of their ancestry and traditions. The research adds to previous studies which have suggested a possible

link between the Celts and Basques, dating back tens of thousands of years.

"The project started with our trying to assess whether the Vikings made an important genetic contribution to

the population of Orkney," Professor David Goldstein of University College London (UCL) told BBC News.

'Statistically indistinguishable' He and his colleagues looked at Y-chromosomes, passed from father to son, of Celtic and Norwegian

populations. They found them to be quite different. "But we also noticed that there's something quite striking

about the Celtic populations, and that is that there's not a lot of genetic variation on the Y-chromosome," he

said. To try to work out where the Celtic population originally came from, the team from UCL, the University

of Oxford and the University of California at Davis also looked at Basques. "On the Y-chromosome the Celtic

populations turn out to be statistically indistinguishable from the Basques," Professor Goldstein said.
