Was looking up last night where do irish people actually come from, and it turns out our DNA is from Ukraine.
Scientists at Trinity and another college up the North done a DNA study a couple of years ago and came to a unanimous decision that the DNA strands they reviewed are the same as the DNA strands found in modern day Ukraine.
Ancestors of Irish people originated from present-day Ukraine
Also polar bears originated in Ireland…..the more you know.

I’m from Wicklow lad.
Did
Ah but I’m from a planter background and the otherhalf is French so does that change much?
But I’m American with ancestors from Meath so….
But how do they know Ukrainians didn’t come from Ireland? We’re not exactly a stay at home kind of people…
Time to reclaim Crimea then, boot out the Russians and Ukrainians and claim what’s rightfully ours!
All blue eyed people apparently originated somewhere in Eastern Europe so this doesn’t surprise me much. But we’re an eclectic mix these days. Lots of Irish people now whose ancestors came from Africa/ Asia / all over.
A relative way back when was a maori. Everyone else was piss poor dublin slum dwellers. Doubt they ever heard of Ukraine.
The stunning revelation that Irish people are Caucasian
Ah sure aren’t of us most descended from Genghis Khan. He was a busy bee.
