Yes, there is no question that particular inhabitants of Britain DO resemble people from the Iberian peninsula, as in the case you presented. But to suggest, as Oppenheimer does, that since 58% of English inhabitants carry the Iberian gene means that Iberians make up the majority of the population is flat-out goofy considering that no one would argue that 58% of English people resemble Basques.

All it proves to me is that--as with the brown-eyed gene over the blue-eyed gene--Iberian genes simply dominate over Germanic and perhaps Celtic genes. That's it. The people of England are still primarily Scandinavian/Germanic/Celtic.

By the way, I would be interested in seeing what you would call the characteristic Basque.
