@davepx1 even today every place in england has a different culture regardless of who conquered or ruled at the time . Theres no such thing as one celtic or pre-celtic culture or people either . We know england is a mix and most of that mix, in dna terms, is either pre celtic or brythonic even if we dont play the bagpipes or lost some of our original languages and customs. Its still there regardless

@jackieblue1267 you're basing your study on countries ,there werent any , speak of peoples and their early geographic origin . To say England had french and German DNA is misleading, they were migrants to those territories

@xsamrx4718 the celts didnt call themselves celts , thats a greek term ,which is what ive told you ,keltoi. And its a reference to a foreigner . In any case the term was popularised at a much later date . The romans used celtae . We dont actually know what they called themselves ,i imagine as they were varied tribes of people ,each would call itself by its own language ,which were different from one another . A gael would not understand a pict nor a cymri ,nor a breton . These migrating tribes would at the same time mingle with pre celtic people in whatever geographic territory they settled in. The celtic culture youre suggesting are the hallstatt people from central europe spreading westwards and are the supposed precusors . However ,these in turn have influences from other indo european cultures and their migrations from the euroasian steppe . Its a complex development of local cultures influenced by earlier migrations and interactions. So they werent one people by any stretch of the imagination. You may well say we come from africa ,but the cradle of civilization is the mesopotamian territory from where many of the early migrations into europe stem from . Agriculture started there and was exported to europe with such migrations aiding the development , growth and evolution of new cultures .

 @GuerillaTVChannel Germanic not german

@davepx1 brythonic was spoken in many places till the 11th century and i dont mean in the obvious fringe territories
2
@oakashthorn5714 ive got news for you they stopped existing centuries ago
2
@andrewkavanaugh6951 have you read it ? 10 to 40% anglosaxon ,thats hardly superior to brythonic dna
2
@andrewkavanaugh6951 your study basically differs by 10 % and discounting the north and west ??? So basically its regional and youre talking south and east???
2
@jackieblue1267 in the south and rast apparently ,he forgot west and north
2
@nicktecky55 victorian england was alll about pushing the anglo saxon movement ,not celtic
2
@Halbared people dont usually refer to that climate change much,but it certainly had its effect on europe . Famines made land available without the need for conquest . Good point

 @Tailtiu3 more than you think
1
@GuerillaTVChannel ???? Britain had many brythonic languages not just one , as for being indigenous it would imply to be the original and one and only, and many others were here before .
1
@GuerillaTVChannel so ? They still didnt speak the same language . Cornish is not welsh nor cumbric nor breton. There are differences betwern them.
1
@GuerillaTVChannel dialects that were not fully comprehensible to one another .
1
@GuerillaTVChannel you tell that to the welsh ,cornish ,bretons etc so is spanish a dialect of latin ? These are refered as languages not dialects ,there are political entities behind them therefore ?

 @jackieblue1267 where did that originally come from?. Not France
1
@jackieblue1267 yeah and youve got tests that say youre british and irish , but considering these islands are full of migrants who knows where they originally come from ???
1
@jackieblue1267 well it depends on where the french or german people originally came from . Celts,pre celts or germanic tribes who in turn were migrants from other areas
1
@andrewkavanaugh6951 on the east and south
1
@nicktecky55 most victorians preached about the supremacy of the anglosaxon race as the empire expanded
1
@Halbared shame only the 1% benefitted ,the rest payed the price
1
Dobunni ? How did that result come about????
1
@xsamrx4718 interesting to see were the dubonni migrated from originally and which dna group they fall under
1
@vaselinescreen and prior to that ? Its never ending
1
@xsamrx4718 you see ,where the celts come from is not that straight forward . Migrations came from the iran and iraq,,black sea areas. The people in the areas you suggest are pre celt also. In any case the term celt is very loose and stems mainly from the 18 and 19th century literature. Keltoi ,the greek term ,was used to describe all those tribes outside their realms . The pretani people to them were the inhabitants of britain and the nothern part of ireland and not necessarily keltoi . The romans had their version of celts too ,and we're guided by much of their knowledge and writings of such people .

 @Beepbeepbeepbe the whole of britain did that
