The English and the Celts - no genocide?

[authun]

As I have posted several times, if you discount politically biased interpretations the more logic explanation is the SE England belongs to the same genetic province that Northern France, a border province of the Western European Genetic Region, and that is probably the case well before the Anglo-Saxon migrations.

I wouldn't be surprised the higher levels of R1b1c in the south of england are a result of Belgic groups migrating there during the late pre roman iron age. The newer finer scaled analysis shows that the south has a lot in common with the low countries. However, it could also be that those referred to as Saxons' were Belgic peoples who became acculturated into the Merovingian world. The problem is, we simply don't know who those people who were called Saxons in the Pas de Calais region or in Amorica actually were.
