  8. Some archaeologists say that the study does not prove the scale of the British Beaker invasion, but agree that it is a major work that typifies how huge ancient-DNA studies are disrupting archaeology. It’s “ground-breaking”, says Benjamin Roberts, an archaeologist at Durham University, UK. The variety of Beaker artefacts makes it hard to define them as emerging from one distinctive culture: many researchers prefer to call their spread the ‘Bell Beaker phenomenon’, says Marc Vander Linden, an archaeologist at University College London. The distinctive pots, possibly used as drinking vessels, are nearly ubiquitous; flint arrowheads, copper daggers and stone wrist guards are common, too. But there are regional differences in ceramics and burial style. And the immense, yet discontinuous, geographical range of Beaker sites — from Scandinavia to Morocco, and Ireland to Hungary — has sown more confusion. After a few hundred years, the pots vanish from the record. Reich’s team calculates that Britain saw a greater than 90% shift in its genetic make-up. But Roberts says he 'doesn’t see evidence' for such a huge shift in the archaeological record. The rise of cremation in Bronze Age Britain could have biased the finding, he cautions, because it might have eliminated bones that could have been sampled for DNA. Although archaeologists are excited to see ancient DNA yield breakthroughs in problems that have vexed their field for decades, says Linden, he expects some push back against the latest study’s conclusions. “It’s not at all the end of the story.”

  9. The Danes were a North Germanic tribe inhabiting southern Scandinavia, including the area now comprising Denmark proper, northern and eastern England, and the Scanian provinces of modern-day southern Sweden, during the Nordic Iron Age and the Viking Age. The Angles were Germanic invaders who came from the Danish-German border and conquered most of Roman Britannia, giving the country its later name, England (Angle land), and dividing it up into seven kingdoms. The Dutch people are believed to originate from the same Nordic Bronze Age culture as the Norse/Danes (a.k.a. Vikings), a common ancestry that ultimately connects all Germanic cultures and languages. The Normans are Dane Vikings originally from Denmark. 'By the 830s, the Vikings arrived from Denmark and began raiding in what is today France, finding the standing Carolingian government in the midst of an ongoing civil war. The Vikings were only one of several groups who found the weakness of the Carolingian empire an attractive target. The Vikings used the same tactics in France as they did in England: plundering the monasteries, markets and towns; imposing tribute or "Danegeld" on the people they conquered; and killing the bishops, disrupting ecclesiastical life and causing a sharp decline in literacy. The duchy of Normandy was founded by Rollo (Hrolfr) the Walker, a Viking leader in the early 10th century. In 911, the Carolingian king Charles the Bald ceded land including the lower Seine valley to Rollo, in the Treaty of St Clair sur Epte. That land was extended to include what is today all of Normandy by AD 933 when the French King Ralph granted "the land of the Bretons" to Rollo's son William Longsword. The Bretons were Britons. They were all North Western Europeans like the British.' So the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Friesians were of mainly Dane-Norse-Saxon Viking ancestry, North Western Europeans, same as the Britons. Among the Anglo-Saxons invasions were also Britons, returning after Roman occupation, who had mixed with the Angles and Saxons in Europe. The Britons, called the Bretons in France, also helped the Normans (Dane Vikings) in the invasion of Britain in the Norman conquest. Many Britons had escaped to France during the Roman invasion of Britain, which was later named after them and called Brittany translated - 'little Britannia', Breton translated - Briton, our own people.

  24.  @aag3752  Lets face it academia couldn't determine because they don't know, it is all mainly supposition and theory, anything to keep their funding! Africa also has cold areas where it snows, strange, no mutated blue eyed genes there. Its like when they dug up a female skeleton from the British coast and the BBC stated she was African, when she was a Sardinian at best who probably came on a Merchant ship to buy Tin. Ancient Britain was well known as exporters of Tin, gold and silver. Point is woke academia will claim left is right and right is left! And don't get started on the blond haired blue eyed North Western European mummies found in the desert of China! Cannot have people thinking Europeans travelled and explored the world, it was the rest of the world who came to Europe and mutated us, right? Strange because Neanderthals were white and had blue eyed genes even red hair! They lived as far west as what is now Wales Britain and as far east as the Altai mountains in Siberia. They also lived around the Mediterranean as far south as Israel and reached across from what is now Iran to Uzbekistan in the plains of Central Asia. Neanderthals thrived in warm forests, in the steppes and the lake basin in modern-day Germany around 123,000 years ago. Brown eye colour is best for snow not blue. Brown eyes are considered the best colour for snow because they are less sensitive to light and release less melatonin during the fall and winter. Blue eyes with lower pigment (blue or grey eyes) are more sensitive to light. ( Snow blindness). So academia hypothesis that Europeans eyes 'mutated' from brown to blue because of the ice age is for the birds!
