The BBC website has an interesting report about the latest research into who we are as a people in Great Britain and what our DNA tells us about our history. It confirms what modern historians have tended to say in recent years about the population shifts and invasions - or not - of the first millennium AD. It also points to stability and continuity of county and regional communities over the centuries, facts which are of interest in themselves and which may help explainlocal differences in attitudes over the sweep of national history.
The report,with a striking map, can be seen at DNA study: Celts not a single group.
