The mitochondrial lineage U8a reveals a Paleolithic settlement in the Basque country.

BMC genomics - 23 May 2006

González Ana M, García Oscar, Larruga José M, Cabrera Vicente M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is customary, in population genetics studies, to consider Basques as the direct descendants of the Paleolithic Europeans. However, until now there has been no irrefutable genetic proof to support this supposition. Even studies based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), an ideal molecule for constructing datable maternal genealogies, have failed to achieve this. It could be that incoming gene flow has...
