"The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago ( Aurignacian culture). Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals.
BTW, I'm R1b.

Dude! It's a pile of rocks covered with dirt. Don't dis the pile!
So YOU did in the neanderthals!
Where is the endangered species act when ya need it?
Nah. All their women ran off with boys from our clan. Those are the red headed amoungst us.
I’m probably R1b too. My people have been painting themselves blue and running naked into battle since before Stonehenge was built.
Painting themselves blue and running naked, huh? Kinda reminds me of college.
My mtDNA is 'V'. A Skolt Sami of all things.
I’ve not been tested but with 3 of 4 grandparents with Welsh surnames, and my brown hair and green eyes, chances are pretty good I’m R1b. You don’t get much more Welsh than being named Diones (Jones), Mwr (Moore), and Powys (Powers.)
Of course I do. Both my parents and all my aunts and uncles did, too.
Powis (Powys) Castle on your map is our ancestral home. Not that I could just walk in and plop down in front of the fire, mind you.
Neat. ( Atlantic Modal Haplotype)
My R1b, DYS390 is 23, which indicates a Nordic ancestry and we (probably) arrived in the Isles as one of the invading forces, Saxons, Danes or Vikings. My BIL is, R1b, DYS390-24...definately Irish.
They'd probably let me muck out the stables when I visit. If my relatives had been important, they never would have left.
I have the same 'feeling' about mine.
I looked into getting my blood tested a while ago, but can no longer find the link where I read the information... Do you by chance know the link I’m speaking of — it was to participate in some genetic study and I think I ran across the information here at FR?
Anyway, I was born with red hair which I was told fell out and then grew back in blondish as a young child and then has gotten progressively darker as time goes by, all with red highlights underneath though... Also, fair-skinned, freckled, short, and a wee bit stocky (I easily gain muscle-mass when working at it at all). My eldest daughter who looks the most like me has even more red in her hair than I. So, I’m guessing my ancestors were R1b somewhere along the line (I’m adopted, so I don’t know what nationality my ancestors are/were). This stuff is always so fascinating to me.
