🇵🇹 Genetic Landscape of Portugal
Portugal's genetics reflect its unique position as the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Celtic, Roman, Visigothic, and Moorish invasions left layered genetic signatures. The Moors (711-1249 AD) left subtle North African genetic traces especially in the southern Algarve and Alentejo regions. Portugal's Age of Exploration also introduced small amounts of Sub-Saharan African, South Asian, and East Asian DNA through trade and colonization. Northern Portugal shows more Celtic/Germanic traits, while the south is more Mediterranean.
