Explain to me again how I used the word "indigenous" incorrectly. The only one babbling here is you. Every single one of your posts are endless babbling about population genetics and germanic peoples. You are obsessed.
I like the study of population genetics and biological anthropology, it gives answers about our mysterious past and clears up a lot of confusion or myths as well. For example with the POBI project, we now know for sure that the Anglo-Saxon did genetically impacted the existing British population they met in the 5th century, but did not completely exterminated rather intermingled with Celts, but with them (Saxons) being place in the upper echelon of society. This ensured their social and biological dominance. You are the one babbling, since you do not know much. All you have to do is learn. The reason, there is debating is to learn more from each other. Bring up more information so we can share, instead of acting like a bunch of cats and dogs!

For the last time Saxonwold - Britain is NOT a nation full of 'pure bred' Anglo Saxons, to suggest otherwise (particularly in the 21st Century) is just folly, you seriously think that most Britons have 'pure' heritage back to the ice age!!!!!! lol, perhaps instead of consistently spouting nonsense from wherever the hell you spout it from I suggest you come and have a look around British towns and cities and see for yourself the true 'make-up' of the British and of Britain.

I think by now your geographical skills have improved. Nobody said that Britons are pure, it is only you who thinks that I said it. There cannot pure Anglo-Saxons, the Anglo-Saxons comprised of three Germanic tribes, so that is already a mixture.
Like I said, I was speaking culturally, not genetically.
But if we are to talk about ancestry, the English look quite different from the Irish to me. I know many like to say that the English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh are all the same, but to me the English (and some Scots) clearly look a lot like people from Scandinavia, West Germany, Holland, etc. Obviously not exact copies, but very similar. Perhaps they are a halfway point between continental Northern Europe and Ireland. There is a definitely an "English look" that I instantly recognize in England, the US, and Australia, but I definitely don't find in Ireland. And this makes a lot of sense considering that the history books tell us that the English are largely descended the Angles and Saxons from the area of Frisia and Southern Denmark.
The Irish are not as different from the English as you say they are. The differences are there, but they are slight, not to be exaggerated. In a few of my statements I pointed out some differences. Nevertheless Irish people are Northern Europeans and overall they are very-light pigmented.
Now culturally English culture is dominant now in all the countries which make up the British Islands, because for many years, the English subdued the Celts. At one time in Wales, Welsh was forbidden to be taught in schools.
Britain ceased to be Anglo-Saxon on 14 October 1066, Battle of Hastings. French Normans annihilated the culture, and tried their best to expel Saxons from England. Many fled to Ireland and Scotland and to Bizantium, were they founded a "New York".
The Anglo-Saxon theory emerged during the 18th and 19th Century as a way to differentiate themselves from Catholics. Just the same romantic mouvement that spread throughout all Europe after classisicim, as countries tried to develop their own identity.
Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! Really? Why are you so ignorant? If science can prove that the Anglo-Saxon people have made the second greatest genetic impact on the indigenous people of Britain, after the first waves of people who came to Britain after the Ice Age. That is no more romanticism, but facts. I am a descendant of those Anglo-Saxon people who came to Britain, in the 5th century. By the time, the Normans came to invade England in 1066, the Anglo-Saxon people had already been in England for more than 500 years!
As far as I know English people have a lot of celtic heritage as well, only because they don't speak a celtic language anymore doesn't mean that there is no celtic blood in England. I once learned about celtic languages and there were two families, one of them expanded from north France to England and the other one from north Spain to Ireland and from there to Scotland and Welsh.

From Spain? I don't think so. No one has ever said that the English don't have Celtic blood.
I sometimes wonder what kind of history books do they have in public HS in the US. Do they use Asterix and Obelix?
I sometimes wonder how disconnected is your nervous system. The post published is from the conclusion done by the POBI project. The study was specifically done to see what the main genetical differences between indigenous populations of the U.K.
