Lenmcharristar 9,960 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Interesting reading there jetro, be good to know if their genetics are present in any of us today. And who buried them and where did they go? Looks like we are just prob related to the 1st wave of ancient Britons that came to empty countries Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imo, and it's mo, I think maybe we/ they could be like the Scandinavian people, you first came and travelled from central Europe. What ever, it's interesting Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we could be as we produced some of the worlds finest darts players haha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Scots, Welsh, Cornish and irish are basically the same, not much difference in terms of DNA. With a small amount of viking, less in the Irish than in the British imo. I wouldn't hit a dart board with a 12 gauge, Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did the Channel not get created after the last ice age from a glacial lake which existed over doggerland? The English Channel has the scar marks on the bottom of a massive run off of water? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
