The Origins of Haplogroup R1b — How Steppe Ancestry Changed Europe Forever
What if the key to Europe’s origins lies not in castles or kingdoms — but in a single ancient gene?
This video uncovers the story of Haplogroup R1b, the Steppe DNA that reshaped the genetic landscape of Europe 5,000 years ago.
From the Yamnaya herders of the Pontic Steppe to the Celtic and Germanic tribes that followed, R1b’s journey reveals how one lineage built the foundation of modern Europe.
