I would tend to agree and of course this tribalistic viewpoint of history still causes major wars in the modern day ... however, and its a pretty big however, in Britain the DNA evidence is fairly clear, even to this day, that populations did not move much up to and including the 19th C. The descendants of those northern British tribes are still living in and around the geographical locations of their ancient ancestors. This isn't to back up some sort of 'racial purity' rubbish, as we are all an admixture of people from various parts of the world. The Roman Empire brought many people into Britain that wouldn't have been there without it ... but they didn't leave a significant DNA marker behind them; there were never enough of them to do so. Whereas you can find distinct Scandinavian, Germanic, 'P' Celtic (British) and 'Q' Celtic (Irish/Scots) DNA marker areas in the British Isles.
