Default Re: Split Between English and Scots Older Than Thought

From all my reading on the topic, it seems that Anglo-Saxons did contribute quite a bit to the English gene pool.

Apparently what happend was that the men left continental Europe, displaced the native men in England, and intermarried with their women.

So England is very much a mix of old Briton, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Danish, and even Norwegian.
