All that can be said is that the genetic marker R1b (called before HG1) according to latest studies would make almost 100% of French Paleolithic population (exceptions the "Basque" genetic marker EU18, and probably some degree of the "Central European I" in the borders with Germany and Belgium. Today France has 60% of R1b, 20%of I, 10% of J Eastern Mediterranen marker and E3b North African marker nad 10% of R1a eastern European marker. Some of the latest could be Neolithic, or maybe Roman colonization. I would bet on this last one, as the North African marker is also significantly present in England
Would the other 40% be a mix of Frankish, Visigothic and maybe Roman(Italic) blood..?
Thanks,

Who would these Eastern Europoeans be? North Africans?
