DNA Caillte | Astonishing secrets from our past | TG4

Cutting-edge DNA research is transforming our knowledge of who we are, where we come from and how we got here. Dr Lara Cassidy of Trinity College Dublin has uncovered an astonishing secret about a man who was buried at the centre of Newgrange, our most sacred ancient monument. Her discovery gives an astonishing insight into the culture and beliefs of the people of Ireland around 3000 BC.

Tá taighde ceannródaíoch DNA ag cur athrú ó bhun ar an eolas atá againn maidir le cé muid féin, cá as a dtáinig muid agus mar atáimid san áit in a bhfuilimid anois. Tá an Dr Lara Cassidy ó Choláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath tar éis rún dochreidte a nochtadh faoi fhear a adhlacadh i gcroílár Shí an Bhrú, an séadchomhartha ársa is mó a bhfuil gean air sa tír seo. Tugann a fionnachtain léargas dochreidte dúinn ar chultúr agus ar chreidimh mhuintir na hÉireann thart ar 3000 RCh.
