What is ethnicity?

Yeah I was wr-wrong on that. Seems definition of ethnicity has changed and English as an ethnicity just means white British. But the basic ethnicity of English is Anglo Saxon. The ancient britons were long ago absorbed.

An interesting link on the genetic breakdown of rural communities in the UK

The study’s other remarkable findings included:

– There are more genetic differences between North and South Wales than between Kent and Scotland.

– There is more similarity between people in the North of England and Scotland than people in the south of England.

– There is no single ‘Celtic’ genetic group. The Celtic parts of the UK (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Cornwall) are among the most different from each other genetically.

– Anglo-Saxon invaders tended to intermarry with, rather than replace the existing population.

– There is no large genetic signature from the Vikings even though they controlled large parts of the British Isles.

– Only Orkney residents were found to have significant levels of Viking DNA; a quarter of their DNA coming from Norway, suggesting that the Norse Viking invasion of the 9th century added to rather than replaced the characteristics of the indigenous settlers.

– There is also little Roman DNA in the British genetic make-up.

Like I said when Rowland was trying to sell Anglo-Saxon supremacy…
