While some live outside this area today, many still call this region home. These hardy people have dwelt in the foothills of the jagged Pyrenees Mountains since prehistoric times, and they’re still there to this day.The Basques manifest a genetic makeup that is prehistorically distinct from that of their neighbors in Spain or France.
