L513 origins poll

[Jon]

Hi All,

With the flurry of new L153 results in, including many big Y, I thought I'd have a bit of fun...any new impressions on possible origins for L513, or indeed any of its downstream subgroups?

I am far from an expert but, based on L513 being fairly well represented all over the islands, but seemingly with a bias towards Scotland and Ireland, I'd go for insular Celtic groups, possibly the remnants of Brythonic speakers in both Britain and Ireland. This would explain the strong presence in the old Airgialla region in Ireland (where those more experienced than myself have pointed to Brittonic ancient sites around there); and the focus of L193 around the Clyde valley (Strathclyde Britons?). A close second for me is Irish/Scottish Gaels, possibly represented in the south-west of Scotland by the famous Gall-Gaidheal. This is supported by a ScotlandsDNA statement that '5% of Hebridean men are S215 (L513)'.

I am no expert, but I find speculation like this simply fun, as well as thought-provoking as new results come in...

YFull has some age estimates on their experimental tree that are useful, in my opinion.

Thanks! I wonder if these dates say anything about the age of the relationship between the Scottish and Irish subclades under S5668? My guess is that that is too old to be part of the set-up of Dalriada, but perhaps reflects older link-ups between the peoples on both sides. What do you think?
