๐ต๐น 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.
