@caitlinrgreen Is there an estimate of the size of the 9th Cent. import of N African slaves into I#reland,and is there a genetic trace here?
@JAJafri So far as I know, it's not been well-studied. A *few* examples of African Y and mtDNA in British Isles that might result from it,>
@JAJafri >but speculative: see http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v15/n3/full/5201771a.html … & http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v15/n3/full/5201771a.html … NB, modern DNA has v.loose connection to # of past immigrants
