Basque Origins: Ancient DNA and the Mystery of Human Migration
Welcome to a deep dive into one of Europe's greatest ancient mysteries: the Basque genetic enigma. This historical narrative explores the human origins of a people whose roots stretch back to Paleolithic Europe. We'll examine their ancient DNA, revealing how these Ice Age survivors maintained their genetic isolation in the Pyrenees mountains. From their unique Euskera language to the high frequency of Rh-negative blood type and the dominant R1b haplogroup, their story challenges our understanding of human migration. This documentary covers their encounters with the Neolithic Revolution, Roman Hispania, and the Visigoths, using insights from population genetics, archeology, and linguistics to trace the history of Europe's most ancient and resilient people.
