Great new book out on the origins of the irish on the 21st Jan 13 - I've it pre-ordered and look forward to it.


It's certainly a minefield [to be sure, to be sure], One day the irish will have it proved to them [genetics] that they're [their ancestors] from the same places that all the first settlers came from [as in the rest of these islands], in the meantime you'll always have people saying they're somehow different to the rest of the people in these islands, I really hope this book goes someway in showing that we ALL share the same mix of ancestors, and that no-one in these islands are that genetically different from anyone else [the only difference is in they're minds], we really need peace [from proof we're all the same] otherwise it looks like all hell is going to break out again.


You won't get too much genetics from Mallory , he "totally distrusts " that approach . Archaeology and linguistics will be basis .



Oh dear, The genetics will have to wait a bit longer then, it worries me when people ignore the genetics because it's often because they don't like what they're been shown, The 3 way combination of Archaeology, linguistics and genetics works pretty well, take one away and it's a different matter don't you think?
