-Where did -the DNA of the Welsh originate? | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
-Michael Sheen's DNA? | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
-Charlotte Church's DNA? | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
-The DNA of each one of us -who lives in Wales today? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
-In order to arrive -at the present generation... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
-..our genes have been -on an epic journey through time. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-There's been change upon change. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
-But looking back -over the generations... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
-..over the centuries, it's possible -to see regular patterns emerge. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
-Patterns of life and existence, -patterns of sharing and belonging. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
-And patterns -in our genetic make-up... | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
-..and our DNA itself. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
-Age-old patterns -that can clearly be seen today. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-As we follow these genetic patterns -across the planet... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-..we've showed -how we're related to one another. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
-But it's time to -turn our attention closer to home. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-Over the past year, -we've analysed the DNA... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-..of more than 1,000 Welsh people. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
-The biggest-ever study -of the nation's genetic make-up. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
-In the final episode, -the time has come... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
-..to reveal our findings. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-The focus so far -has been on our ancient history... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-..on our ancestors' distant past. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-But what's happened to our genealogy -in the past two centuries... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
-..since the Industrial Revolution? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-And what about Wales today -and its genetics? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-What have DNA Cymru's spit kits -revealed about the modern nation? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
-In a celebration of saliva, we now -have a means of delving further. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
-It's a pleasure to be here today. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-What use are these tests -to our communities? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-What about the way -we consider the future? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-Knowing more about our genetics -sparks the imagination... | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
-..according to -one of our most famous figures. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-What I do for a living... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-..and what is -the passion of being an actor... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
-..and telling stories, -part of what that requires... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-..is to imaginatively connect -to different people. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-This is something that is a more -tangible form of that, in a way. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-There's a new way -of evaluating all these factors. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
-And its name is DNA. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
-DNA Cymru. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-Take a look in the mirror. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-What do you see? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-A face, of course. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
-But there's something else too. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
-History. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
-Personal history. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-Your own unique personal history. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-But a wider history too. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-The history -of your mother and father... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-..and their mothers and fathers. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-Each one -of your myriad ancestral mothers... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-..and fathers. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-We're all unique individuals. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-An interesting make-up -of fragments from the past. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
-During the course -of filming this series... | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-..Anwen's life -has completely changed. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-Now I'm pregnant -and expecting my first child... | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-..I wonder what traits my baby -will inherit from my husband and me. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
-Will the baby's eye colour -be the same as mine? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-What about the hair, the nose -and shape of the mouth? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-Will there be -a family resemblance... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-..or will our ancestors' DNA... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-..resurface from the distant past? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-I'm sure every new parent -asks similar questions. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-Now that Mali has arrived... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
-..our roots are more important -than ever to us as a family. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
-Anwen isn't the only one -to feel like that. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-Each year, thousands of people... | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-..flock to events -such as this one in Birmingham. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-The Who Do You Think You Are -ancestry exhibition. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
-This year, amid the discourse -and lectures on family history... | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-..genetic tests -are more prominent than ever before. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-DNA is now an industry. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-It's in every nook and cranny here. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-At one time, tracing a family tree -was purely down to luck and chance. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
-Asking Grandma or searching -in church and chapel records. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
-Nowadays, there's -a wealth of expertise on offer... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
-..to anyone who wants to know -where they've come from. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-There are genealogists, -archivists and researchers... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
-..of all kinds. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-There are -major exhibitions like this one... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-..which demonstrate how keen people -are to learn about their past... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-..and their ancestors. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-However, -it's still quite a tall order... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-..to trace back further -than two or three generations. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-In Wales, like many other countries, -dark periods in history... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-..have ruined the lives -of thousands of families... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-..making it difficult -to trace genealogies... | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-..and finding -the graves of loved ones. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-In cases such as these, -expert help is required. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-It's nice to see -that Wales has a prominent stand... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-..at the Birmingham exhibition. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
-Beryl Evans -from the National Library... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-..is one of the experts on hand -to offer advice. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
-My five top tips for making the most -of your visit to an archive office. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
-The library is the main centre -of Welsh genealogy. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-It's always busy, with enquiries -from home and further afield. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-For Welsh exiles who drop by, -further research is required. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
-We get asked all kinds of questions. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-Many say, "We're the Jones family, -we hail from Wales." | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-We ask them where they're from -but they've no idea. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
-However, others have done thorough -research and just need our guidance. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
-We then direct them -to the library's collection... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-..our online services -and many of our projects. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-We also direct them to -other archive centres, if needs be. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-DNA is everything nowadays. -How do you combine the two things? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
-The DNA industry has grown, as you -can see from these exhibitions... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
-..and people who've got stuck -researching their family history... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
-..can take a simple DNA test and -connect to different countries... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
-..and areas of Wales, -as well as America and Australia. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
-People in those countries... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-..can also contribute -to these DNA projects. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-It might help them to go to these -places and do further research. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
-Interest in family history... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
-..has prompted millions -around the world to take DNA tests. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
-But for some, -there are other reasons. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-In Swansea are the headquarters... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-..of the -Cancer Genetics Services for Wales. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-Part of the centre's role -is to offer assistance... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-..when genetic diseases strike. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-As a genetic nurse -within the team... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-..Liwsi Kim Protheroe-Davies helps -people deal with difficult news. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
-I'm a registered genetic counsellor -and I work with families. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-I study the family background... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-..to see if there are -any hereditary genetic conditions. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
-It can be any condition, though -I work specifically with cancer. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-I see patients with a history -of cancer in the family. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
-They want to know their risk... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-..and the chance of them passing -on the condition to their children. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-There are -lots of things to consider... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-..and sometimes -difficult topics to discuss too. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-One of the main concerns... | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-..is that family secrets -may emerge in the tests. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
-Many families come in -and we discuss the DNA... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-..and various tests -we can conduct... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-..to see -from where the disease has emanated. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-You can see by their faces... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-..that they've started to think... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-.."This is going to show up -something I don't want to see." | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
-At times -we've had a phone call to say... | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
-.."You know he's not the father," -though he's unaware. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-Hello? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
-Hello, Liws! You've arrived! | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-Yes. Are you OK? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-Liwsi and her father, -David Protheroe... | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-..have decided -to take DNA Cymru's tests. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
-DNA Cymru's results show that 20% -of Welshmen are the descendants... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
-..of 10 of our history's -most renowned noblemen. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-It's interesting to see -that so few men... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-..are in the past -and that so many men nowadays... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-..can be traced back to them. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-It's this story which has prompted -David to try one of our spit kits. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
-I've been reading about Hywel Dda... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-..and it appears that there may be -a connection, if it's correct... | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
-..that I can trace back to -that time, which'll be interesting. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-It'd be nice if there was some sort -of connection that would show... | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-..that we can trace our genealogy -back through the centuries... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-..but I'm not concerned about it. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-We are who we are -and we're happy with that. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-DNA Cymru's results won't show -that everyone is related... | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
-..to our history's legends, -men like Hywel Dda. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-But the Y-chromosome DNA -of every man... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-..has been inherited, relatively -unchanged, from father to son. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
-By identifying the genetic markers -in the chromosome... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-..it's possible to follow -one line through the generations. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-One lineage -amongst a multitude of ancestors. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-However, the direct connection -along the father line... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-..is of interest to many. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-I think it's this idea of this -link going back through time... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-..that excites people. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-People think about it, particularly -for the Y chromosome... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-..in the same way -they think about their surname. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-It's something they identify with. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-It speaks back to their grandfather, -their great-great-grandfather... | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
-..and this lineage -going through time. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-It may only be one small part of -our DNA but it's an important part. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-Lineage -has been important in human history. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
-Land has been passed down through -the male line for generations. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:15 | |
-It's part of -people's way of thinking. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-They find it really interesting -what the Y chromosome... | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
-..can tell them -about a small part of their past. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
-It's about -how they fit into the world. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |

-Before the Industrial Revolution, -the Welsh were rural folk. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
-Towns were small -and slow to populate. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-Ordinary folk lived on the land... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-..without straying too far. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
-Life was hard, and a mother -who saw each of her offspring... | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
-..grow into adults was very lucky. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
-Mam! Mam! | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
-People lived and died -in their birthplace. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
-Is it this stability -that is responsible... | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-..for the continuation of genetic -makers that are unique to Wales? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
-Gwilym! Come here, quickly! | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-DNA Cymru can reveal... | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-..that genetic clusters exist in -Wales today on the mother's line. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
-Clusters that are 50 times more -common in Wales than in England. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:39 | |
-The clusters -stem from a minority of women... | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
-..long before the fragile lives -of country folk in medieval Wales. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-A fragile... | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-..yet stable life. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
-Otherwise, the genetic pattern -wouldn't have survived to this day. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
-The Industrial Revolution -saw major change. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
-Anyone who lived in Wales in 1750... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-..would barely recognize the country -a century later. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-Society's foundations had dissolved -and were newly reformed. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-The effect was the same -on our DNA pool. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
-Copperopolis, Swansea... | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
-..needed thousands of workers. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
-They arrived from rural Wales -as well as England and Ireland. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
-The iron furnaces of Merthyr Tydfil -attracted people from the continent. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
-Workers from -Spain, Italy, Poland and Russia. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
-Industry transformed -the face of the Rhondda. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-But beneath the surface... | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-..its genetics were changing too. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-By 1914... | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
-..a quarter of a million men -were toiling in Wales' coalfields. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-The Rhondda's DNA -became more diverse... | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-..with each new generation. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-And not only in the Rhondda Valleys. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-People came from everywhere -as the coalfield expanded... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-..across Glamorgan, -Gwent and Carmarthenshire. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-Some of the genetic markers found in -DNA Cymru's tests on today's men... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
-..must have appeared -for the first time... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-..as a result of immigration. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-There was no end to the revolution. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-After copper, iron and coal... | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
-..the steel industry was -the last to affect our DNA pool... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
-..with a new wave of migration. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-Here in Port Talbot, -the Sandfields housing estate... | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
-..was built -in the shadow of the steelworks. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-Actor Michael Sheen's ancestors -were among the workers. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-His father's family -came to Wales from Ireland... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
-..but Port Talbot -is undoubtedly Michael's habitat. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
-This is the place I have -the most meaningful connection to. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
-It's where I keep coming back to. -It's where my parents still live. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-It's where -I started in youth theatre... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-..it's where -I first got a passion for acting. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-It's where -there's a sense of community. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-It's where I came back -and did The Passion... | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-..which was the most meaningful -project I've ever done... | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-..about my life in the town -and the people I know. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-It's somewhere that always -refreshes me to come back to... | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-..and rejuvenates me -and re-energises me. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-It's home, -as simply as that, really. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
-Michael has come -to his favourite local club... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-..to receive -DNA Cymru's test results. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-He doesn't know much -about his father's family... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-..before -they came over from Ireland. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
-He's eager to learn to which -ancient genetic group they belong. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
-You're R1b. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
-It turns out... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-..that it is -a very Irish marker indeed. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-The test has analysed -Michael's genetic markers. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
-Markers which originate -from one of his ancestors... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
-..thousands of years ago. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
-A haplogroup denotes a group -who share the same genetic markers. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
-As we trace the journey of a man's -family in the ancient world... | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
-..a letter is attached -to each different haplogroup. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-As one group -ventures in a new direction... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
-..and loses contact with others, -a number is added to the letter... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
-..to denote -a new, unique genetic marker. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-Michael's sub-haplogroup... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-..is more common -in the west of Ireland... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-..and is indicative of one -of the most important migrations... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
-..in Europe's ancient history. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-4,500 years ago, -from Iberia in the south... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-..across the Atlantic Ocean, -a trading network was thriving. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-It brought new people -to the British Isles and Ireland. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-The first metal masters. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
-The Beaker People. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
-The name comes from -the fine vessels they used... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-..in their daily lives and rituals. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-They moved around -the ancient world... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-..and their copper skills -transformed society... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-..in Wales and Ireland. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
-I'm really glad that my history -is rooted in one people, the Celts. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:55 | |
-That's really important to me. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-On the other hand, -there's this wandering group... | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-..who are moving around Europe, -connected to different parts. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
-I love the idea of us -as being inter-connected.. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-..especially at the moment... | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-..where there's emotive talk about -immigrants, refugees and migration. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
-It's a false sense that we have -these borders that keep us apart. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
-We're one people constantly -moving around and inter-connecting. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
-Anything that helps us... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-..to have an emotional connection -to that is great. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
-Something about the Beaker People -and their skills... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-..inspires Michael to contemplate -his own craft as an actor. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
-The force -that through the green fuse | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-Drives the flower, -drives my green age | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-That blasts the roots of trees -is my destroyer | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-And I am dumb to tell -the crooked rose my youth is bent | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
-By the same wintry fever | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-The force that drives the water -through the rocks | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
-Drives my red blood | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-That dries the mouthing streams | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
-Turns mine to wax | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
-How at the mountain spring -the same mouth sucks. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
-Part of what I do for living and -what is the passion in my life... | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
-..of being an actor -and telling stories... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
-..part of what that requires -is to imaginatively connect... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
-..to all kinds of different people. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-The way my life has gone is that -I've pursued the idea of empathy... | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
-..and connecting out -to other people. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-This is something that is -a more tangible form of that. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-We've also looked at -the last six to eight generations. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
-We've looked at -all of your ancestry... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-..not just your Y chromosome -and mitochondrial. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-You are very European indeed. -Look at this. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-This is a chart. -You're 75% European. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-Wow! | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
-We've tested lots -who have north Asian in them... | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-..but you are so European. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-That's great. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
-It's fantastic to feel anything that -makes you feel more connected... | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
-..as to European, -I think is a really good thing. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
-Having an emotional connection -to this story... | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
-..is going to take a while, as it -starts to connect imaginatively... | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-..as I find out more about it. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
-But definitely knowing that -there's both, on the one hand... | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
-..a rooted sense and -a particular people, the Celts... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-..but on the other hand, -physically a lot of movement... | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-..travelling across Europe, up from -the south to the north, I love that. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
-It's important -to have a sense of that. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-You come from a people that -is a wandering people. It's great. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
-And I am dumb -to tell a weather's wind | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
-How time has ticked -to heaven round the stars | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
-And I am dumb -to tell the lover's tomb | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
-How at my sheet -goes the same crooked worm. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |

-Over the past two centuries... | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-..thousands moved to towns like Port -Talbot to work in heavy industries. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
-Coal, iron and steel. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-They came from -every corner of Wales and beyond. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
-Among them was the family -of actor Michael Sheen. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-DNA Cymru's report -shows that his father's lineage... | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
-..is a very ancient Irish one. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
-I take great pride in being Welsh... | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
-..and being a Celt, more generally. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
-Knowing that I've been a Celt -for a very long time is great. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
-I like that. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
-Having moved from Ireland -to Cardiff, originally... | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
-..Michael Sheen's -great-great-great-grandfather... | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
-..became part -of the city's rapid growth... | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
-..due to the development -of the South Wales coalfields. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
-By the beginning of WWI... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
-..it became the world's biggest port -for exporting coal. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-In order for the coal to go out, -the sailors had to come in. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
-With them, of course, -came their DNA. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
-DNA from four corners of the world. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
-The docklands area, -Butetown or Tiger Bay... | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
-..became famous for its melting pot -of white and black people. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
-Butetown was a profoundly -inter-cultural... | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
-..and multi-cultural community. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
-I know a black woman in Butetown -who can speak rather good Norwegian. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
-She was not Norwegian, -she was a cosmopolitan. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
-Children shared a special culture. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
-Sunday school -with a black American gospel feel. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
-Muslim processions... | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
-..based on, believe it or not, the -Catholic customs of the Bay's Irish. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:18 | |
-The old compatriots -of Michael Sheen's family. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
-Crucial to this story is that -almost all the immigrants were male. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
-Males who then married or had -relationships with local women... | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
-..many of whom might've been -from the Valleys or Cardiff. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
-You get a community of males -who are from different countries... | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
-..and local women. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
-50 years ago came major change. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
-Terraced houses were demolished -to be replaced by high-rise flats. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:50 | |
-Outside the city, -new housing estates... | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
-..the biggest of which -was my birthplace, Ely. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
-A new community... | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
-..with no lasting ties -with the neighbourhood. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
-Interest in local history -was slow to take hold here. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
-But nowadays, -residents make a concerted effort... | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
-..to reconnect with its history. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
-And it's quite a story. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
-Ladies and gentlemen, -it's a pleasure to be here today. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
-At the annual Ely festival, we're -offering ancient DNA testing... | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
-..to people who want to learn more -about their history. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
-What we've done as part of DNA -is given lots of testing kits... | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
-..so we're using science to work out -where we in Wales come from. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
-The number of tests -is insufficient... | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
-..to get a comprehensive view -of Ely's population. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
-The hope is that -it'll encourage an interest... | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-..in what people have in common... | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
-..in terms of the ancient history -of their genetics. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
-Above the houses are the ruins -of an Iron Age hill-fort. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
-DNA Cymru is working in tandem -with the CAER project... | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-..which helps locals to -understand the ruins' significance. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
-Cardiff University's archaeologists -are here... | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
-..to offer residents a chance -to dig deeper into their history. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:16 | |
-I knew there was something here -from its name, Caerau... | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
-..but I didn't have a clue that it -was as significant and as ancient... | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
-..as other discoveries. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
-I didn't expect to be doing it -on my doorstep either! | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
-We started sieving... | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
-..and we found pottery and bones. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
-Poppy, who's been working here, -has found an axe. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
-Hello, Poppy. How old is the axe? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
-It's 5,000 years old. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
-Amazing. Wow. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
-Proof that the suburb's history -stretches far back in time. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
-It instils new pride -in Ely's youngsters. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
-It feels really special. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
-You may find something -that no-one else has found. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
-You've discovered new history. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
-It may change people's attitudes -towards Ely and Caerau. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
-Perhaps more people -will respect Ely and Caerau now. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
-Attitudes -towards the area will change. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
-It's something they haven't seen. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
-Touching the neighbourhood's -ancient history... | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
-..and the possibility of tracing -their own personal history back... | 0:27:27 | 0:27:33 | |
-..by taking DNA Cymru's tests -excites volunteers of all ages. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:38 | |
-This was built by your people. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
-And the DNA, it just confirms that. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
-That this is part of who we are. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-One of the area's locals, -who's visiting the project today... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
-..brings a broader perspective... | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
-..in terms of her experience in the -European Parliament over the years. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:03 | |
-I was born and raised in Ely. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
-My father was a vicar here -for more than 30 years. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
-All my family were raised here. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
-Our origins are firmly rooted here. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
-I certainly consider the area... | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
-..as the place where I gained -my political experience. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
-My political awareness -comes from Ely. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
-Dotty? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
-Dotty Lee. Dotty Lee, yes, yes, yes. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
-Elsie Copeland? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:28 | |
-There weren't -many people of colour in the area. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
-This area wasn't like the docks. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
-Things are gradually changing... | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
-..but that sense of community -is very strong. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:42 | |
-DNA Cymru has already established... | 0:28:43 | 0:28:47 | |
-..that the hill-fort's inhabitants -had moved here... | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
-..from far away, -across the ancient world. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
-For Eluned, the tests and the -digging has special significance. | 0:28:56 | 0:29:01 | |
-Especially nowadays, when people -come here from other countries. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:07 | |
-We see people trying to flee -from Africa and Syria. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
-We have to be conscious that we too, -at some point, have fled. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:16 | |
-That we too are immigrants. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
-Practically nobody -comes from here originally. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:22 | |
-I do feel, -in terms of our awareness... | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
-..it's not just about -where we've come from... | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
-..but where we're going in future. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
-We must understand -that we have to live in a world... | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
-..that's still moving and that still -sees immigration from overseas. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:39 | |
-That's still going on -but it's not a new phenomenon. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
-While the residents of Ely -await the test results... | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
-..there's time for me to visit -another of Cardiff's communities. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:56 | |
-Canton. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
-Life in the city wouldn't be -the same without places like this. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
-Local cafes - somewhere -to have a cuppa and a chat. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
-Hello, Victoria, how's it going? | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
-Hello, Victoria, how's it going? - -Very well, thank you, Jason. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
-Is everything alright? -Have you been busy? | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
-Yes, very busy. Enjoy. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
-It's experiences like this -that give you roots. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
-I'm here today to meet someone... | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
-..who certainly feels -that her roots... | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
-..are firmly planted in Cardiff. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
-Charlotte Church is about to hear -what her DNA Cymru test results... | 0:30:37 | 0:30:42 | |
-..reveal about -her family's ancient history. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
-How important is family to you? | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
-Like most people, -it's the be all and end all. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
-My kids are amazing. -They're my life blood. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
-They're incredible. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
-But also, all my extended family - -my nan, my bamp, my mum, dad, aunty. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:01 | |
-We've got a massive family. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
-Lots of people don't know -their fifth and sixth cousins. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
-I do. I know them all! | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
-They're all dotted around Fairwater, -Canton and round and about. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:14 | |
-You've obviously done -the family history thing. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
-You're fascinated about -where Charlotte Church comes from. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
-Yes, I suppose my nana's -looked a lot into family trees... | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
-..and bits and bobs of genealogy... | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
-..but there's only so far -you can get with the internet. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:33 | |
-What she has found out thus far -has been deeply shocking! | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
-There are a lot of hedonists in -my family, so I don't feel so alone. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
-Are you ready? | 0:31:42 | 0:31:43 | |
-Are you ready? - -I am ready. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
-Wow. OK. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
-So my mtDNA sub-type is H1c... | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
-..which is part of -the haplogroup Western Refuges. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
-What does that mean? | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
-What does that mean? - -It's a good question. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
-The ancient people -of western Europe... | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-..found refuge -in the Pyrenees during the Ice Age. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:08 | |
-Charlotte's ancient female ancestors -sheltered from the cold... | 0:32:12 | 0:32:16 | |
-..in caves like these. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
-There's a record of their lives -on cave walls in the south... | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
-..as perpetual winter ruled over -the territories of northern Europe. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:29 | |
-They had to venture outside -to hunt animals... | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
-..who could survive the freeze. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-The mammoth and the hyena, -the deer, the wolf and bear. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
-As the ice eventually melted, -the women and their families... | 0:32:46 | 0:32:50 | |
-..could think -of moving on again to the north. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:54 | |
-That's how people returned to Wales. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
-In extreme conditions, -the women of the northern refuges... | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
-..managed to survive. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
-Nice. Nice. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
-Look at you - extremely successful. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
-Now your kids -can run around tomorrow and say... | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
-.."My mum -is from the western refuges." | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
-All of the other kids will -look at them blankly. "OK, fine." | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
-"Go and play catch!" | 0:33:24 | 0:33:25 | |
-Lovely to see you. -Thank you very much. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
-It's been my pleasure. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
-The capital -is awash with different tales. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:37 | |
-Personal tales, -communal tales, genetic tales. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:42 | |
-Cardiff, Cardiff, -we are rapping free. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
-Cardiff, Cardiff, -we are rapping free. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
-To celebrate the diversity... | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
-..DNA Cymru -has occupied the Millennium Centre. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
-The city's children are here... | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
-..to express their pride in their -genetic legacy in the form of rap. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:06 | |
-Cardiff, Cardiff. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
-We are rapping free. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:09 | |
-Cardiff, Cardiff... | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
-DNA Cymru's results... | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
-..are ready to be presented -to the project's representatives... | 0:34:14 | 0:34:20 | |
-..who are close to Jason's heart. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
-..who are close to Jason's heart. - -Here are some of the people... | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
-..who've taken the tests. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
-They're from Ely, Cardiff, -of course. Here we are, boys. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
-It's great sharing gossip with -neighbours from my old hometown. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:35 | |
-I wonder how close we're all -related, seeing as we're from Ely. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:40 | |
-You went to the same school. -You lived round the corner to me. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:44 | |
-I probably walked on your farm. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
-As expected... | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
-..the results from Ely -are very varied. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
-But among this variety... | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
-..is a lesson. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
-It underlines Eluned Morgan's point. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
-We must remember that we were all -immigrants at some point in history. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:08 | |
-I feel like a pioneer... | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
-..descended from these people who -moved up from southern Europe... | 0:35:12 | 0:35:17 | |
-..when the Ice Age was receding. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
-They made the land, -they shaped it as it still is. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:24 | |
-I think that's something -I can feel proud of. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
-A sense of continuity going back -thousands of years. That's amazing. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:33 | |
-It was very fitting... | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
-..to combine the revelations and -discussions with an ode from a poet. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:41 | |
-Mari George. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
-And so we became the Welsh | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
-We came to learn -that we're still here | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-And came to feel what we feel | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
-And fight for what we believe in | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
-Fine | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
-But ask yourselves, -where did our longing come from? | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
-. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:02 | |

-Over the past year... | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
-..DNA Cymru has analysed the biggest -ever sample of the nation's DNA. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:15 | |
-It's time to present -some of our findings. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
-We've studied -a treasure from the past. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
-A treasure that each one of us -carries in our bodies. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
-The key to ancient mysteries. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
-The key is in -the code of the double helix... | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
-..the famous molecule, the building -block of life down the generations. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:38 | |
-By conducting laboratory tests... | 0:36:39 | 0:36:41 | |
-..on the saliva of more than -1,000 Welsh people today... | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
-..we've analysed that code. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
-Our findings are surprising. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
-The test focuses -on two small parts of our DNA. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:56 | |
-The DNA of the Y chromosome, -which passes from father to son... | 0:36:56 | 0:37:00 | |
-..without much change -down the centuries... | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
-..and the mitochondrial DNA... | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
-..which passes -from mother to her children... | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
-..without much change -down the generations. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
-Scientists have traced these -two minor parts of DNA, unbroken... | 0:37:13 | 0:37:18 | |
-..back to the earliest period -in the history of mankind. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:23 | |
-DNA Cymru -visited the Great Rift Valley... | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
-..the birthplace of the human race. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
-The truth is, -we all belong to the same family. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:36 | |
-An African family. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
-The familial stream flowed -to every corner of the continent. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:46 | |
-But it remained in Africa. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
-Then, some 60,000 years ago... | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
-..a small group of people -took the first steps... | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
-..of their epic journey. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
-Once they left Africa, -people spread far and wide... | 0:37:57 | 0:38:02 | |
-..across the ancient world. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:04 | |
-They took their DNA -to every continent... | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
-..and to the country -we know today as Wales. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
-The human remains -at Paviland in the Gower... | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
-..more than 30,000 years ago... | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
-..are among the oldest -in western Europe. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
-But then came the Ice Age. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
-People had to retreat to the south. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
-Tests suggest that a high percentage -of the Welsh's mitochondrial DNA... | 0:38:31 | 0:38:36 | |
-..stems from the women who -sought refuge in places like this... | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
-..until the ice -started melting once again. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
-Then, wave after wave -of immigrants came to Wales. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:49 | |
-The early hunters who -lived on plants and wild animals. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:54 | |
-The first farmers -who introduced agriculture... | 0:38:57 | 0:39:01 | |
-..and built their large monuments. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
-And the Beaker People, -who mastered the art of smelting. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:12 | |
-Among them was a child... | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
-..who was born -bearing a unique genetic marker. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
-A marker that is still common -among Welshmen today... | 0:39:24 | 0:39:28 | |
-..according to our tests. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
-2,000 years ago, the hill-fort was -the home of the nation's ancestors. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:40 | |
-Descendants of these three -ancient groups of immigrants... | 0:39:41 | 0:39:46 | |
-..lived together -in the hill-forts... | 0:39:47 | 0:39:49 | |
-..like the one archaeologists -have discovered in Ely... | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
-..according to evidence -found in our tests. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
-The hunters, the farmers... | 0:39:57 | 0:40:01 | |
-..and the Beaker People. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
-But the descendants of one group -was much more prominent... | 0:40:03 | 0:40:08 | |
-..than the two others. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:10 | |
-The Roman legions demolished -the ancient world of the hill-fort. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:24 | |
-But despite -the influence of the Romans... | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
-..it's difficult to trace their DNA -in the current nation's gene pool. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:32 | |
-After the Romans, -the Saxons preyed on Wales. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:39 | |
-But DNA Cymru's tests -have confirmed... | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
-..that Offa's Dyke -is a genetic boundary... | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
-..as well as a political boundary. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
-The key genetic marker -found among the Beaker People... | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
-..indicates a big difference -on both sides of the dyke. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
-There's also -very little evidence in Wales... | 0:40:59 | 0:41:03 | |
-..of other ferocious invaders -who came to our shores. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
-But many Welsh people today -cling to the notion... | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
-..that Viking blood -still flows in their veins. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
-Is there a chip shop nearby? -The sea air makes me ravenous. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
-DNA Cymru -came across a possible connection... | 0:41:24 | 0:41:28 | |
-..between the Normans -and one of our current heroes... | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
-..when it was revealed -in Alun Wyn Jones' DNA results. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
-And evidence that one of Llangwm's -residents in Pembrokeshire... | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
-..was a descendant of one of the -village's founders from Flanders. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
-He has to be connected to the De La -Roche, the founders of the village. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:51 | |
-What about Wales' ancient leaders - -the princes and the noblemen? | 0:41:51 | 0:41:55 | |
-One of our most striking results... | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
-..is to do with them. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
-The memory of ancient chieftains... | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
-..such as Rhodri Fawr, -Hywel Dda and Lord Rhys... | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
-..was kept alive -in the nation's psyche. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
-Their genealogies -were carefully recorded... | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
-..and depicted in long scrolls -in the nobility's mansions. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:20 | |
-Their place -in our country's history... | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
-..is known to historians. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
-But now we know -that they formed the nation... | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
-..in a way -no-one had suspected before. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:34 | |
-According to -our tests and research... | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
-..it appears that one -in every five Welshmen today... | 0:42:38 | 0:42:42 | |
-..is a direct descendant on -the father line to 10 prominent men. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:47 | |
-10 men who lived in Wales -less than 2,000 years ago. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
-It's a striking statistic. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
-Up to 200,000 -of today's population... | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
-..are related -to 10 of the old nobility. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
-Thousands more Welsh exiles -carry the same genetic markers. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:06 | |
-They form genetic clusters. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:11 | |
-Groups of men -who share the same genetic pattern. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
-Although scientists -have found similar clusters.... | 0:43:17 | 0:43:20 | |
-..in Scotland, -Ireland and Mongolia... | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
-..it appears that the pattern -in Wales is even more notable. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
-Since the start -of the DNA Cymru project... | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
-..it's clear that ordinary folk have -definite ideas about their roots. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:39 | |
-In a non-scientific survey -at Parc y Scarlets... | 0:43:39 | 0:43:43 | |
-..the majority of fans -regarded themselves as Celts. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:48 | |
-On receiving their DNA results... | 0:43:49 | 0:43:51 | |
-..many of the nation's greats also -empathized strongly with the Celts. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:57 | |
-We Welsh people are dark and small. -I can't wait to see where I'm from. | 0:43:57 | 0:44:02 | |
-I'm nervous too. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:04 | |
-But many of them were shocked. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
-The Ice Age? | 0:44:08 | 0:44:09 | |
-The Ice Age? - -6,000 years ago. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
-That's too much for my brain! | 0:44:11 | 0:44:14 | |
-This goes back and back and back. | 0:44:14 | 0:44:16 | |
-I'm content with that. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:18 | |
-I'm a bit of a pedigree. -I've searched all my life for one! | 0:44:18 | 0:44:22 | |
-For Colin Charvis, the test result -was a complete shock. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:27 | |
-His father -was from Jamaica originally. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:30 | |
-Colin had taken it for granted -that his family had arrived there... | 0:44:31 | 0:44:36 | |
-..as slaves from Africa. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:39 | |
-But DNA Cymru had news for him. | 0:44:39 | 0:44:42 | |
-You. Are. Welsh. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
-Colin is -the descendant of a Welshman... | 0:44:47 | 0:44:49 | |
-..who went to the Caribbean -during the age of slavery... | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
-..and belongs to -one of the genetic clusters... | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
-..that have emerged in our tests. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
-The spit kits of many more people... | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
-..have shown -that they are part of a cluster. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
-One of them, as he'd hoped, -is David Protheroe. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:10 | |
-It'd help -if it was the right way round! | 0:45:10 | 0:45:13 | |
-Surprisingly, -his daughter, Liwsi Kim... | 0:45:13 | 0:45:16 | |
-..also belongs to -a cluster on her mother's line... | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
-..a female cluster that DNA Cymru -has only recently discovered. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:25 | |
-After all, family history... | 0:45:27 | 0:45:29 | |
-..is the nation's history too. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
-Take a look in the mirror. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
-What do you see? History. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
-A history that means more the more -you understand the genetics... | 0:45:40 | 0:45:46 | |
-..that drives that history. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
-The force that through -the green fuse drives the flower | 0:45:49 | 0:45:52 | |
-Drives my green age | 0:45:52 | 0:45:55 | |
-That blasts the roots of trees | 0:45:55 | 0:45:57 | |
-Is my destroyer | 0:45:57 | 0:45:59 | |
-And I am dumb -to tell the crooked rose | 0:46:00 | 0:46:02 | |
-My youth is bent -by the same wintry fever. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:05 | |
-Our roots, and the way they've grown -from the earth on which we live... | 0:46:06 | 0:46:11 | |
-..have always been -a topic for poets... | 0:46:12 | 0:46:15 | |
-..historians and scientists. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
-The DNA Cymru project began -with a simple question. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:23 | |
-Who are the Welsh? | 0:46:24 | 0:46:25 | |
-And by answering that question... | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
-..one truth -has emerged time and time again. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:34 | |
