http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news-spain/history/How_Basque_are_the_British.shtmlProfessor Stephen Oppenheimer, a medical geneticist from Oxford University who was recently in San Sebastián to give a conference at the invitation of the Basque language association Euskararen Jatorria, claims that three quarters of the total population of the British Isles are descended from these first settlers.
The percentage goes up to 90 in the case of Ireland.
The main ice refuges of thousands of years ago, he says, were the Basque region, Italy, the Balkans, Moldavia and Ukraine and, when the ice began to melt, the hunter-gatherers of the time began to migrate towards the north: from Ukraine towards Russia, from the Balkans up the Danube, and from the Basque lands up along the Atlantic coast towards France and the British Isles.
The land was, at this point, still joined on to the mainland and had not yet broken up into islands.
