observer Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 So back to the DNA: it seems over half of Britons carry the Celtic gene, which was the original hunter gatherer population of these Isles. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Why does that surprise you Observer? It doesn't me. Celtic people are threaded throughout your history and mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Very true Mary ......... a well known fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 It only surprised me to the extent; given that the celts were driven to the western fringes; alas the saxons obviously inter-bred. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 All man is interbred by now. Not one of us can say we are completely of one ancestral group. To think so would be quite myopic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Absolutely correct madam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 A statement of the obvious Mary; but other evidence (place names etc) had previously indicated that the Saxons literally drove the Celts into the western fringes; that's why this DNA survey has been so interesting.
