The romantic notion that a particular Y-dna profile indicates some cultural unity fails when considering that the de facto secondary purpose of invading armies seems to be to rape, burn and pillage.

Consider modern-day Indochina: will the future generation descendants of the children fathered by American soldiers who were r1b1c7 be Irish?

Consider the future descendants of children born in post WW II Europe: will they be Irish, or will they be Slavs, Frenchmen, Germans, or Irish?

Why would anyone expect things were different in the past? The ancient notion that a man's seed was passed down unchanged to future generations regardless of where it was planted was long ago proven false.

There is a universal social bias restricting half-cast males, more so than half-cast females, from reproducing, limiting the proliferation of invader Y-dna. But a particular Y-dna profile may well indicate a patch of wild oats rather than a dynastic family tree. Family is and always has been defined socially.
