This is the first book to put the Brits in their place - genetically. It offers a revolutionary theory about the origins of the British people, based on the very latest genetic evidence. Oppenheimer proves that Celtic ethnicity is a valid genetic concept and that there is indeed a deep genetic line dividing the English from the rest of the British people.
Synopsis
A scientific detective story combining genetics, linguistics, archaeology and historical record that shatters the myths we have come to live by. It demonstrates that the Anglo-Saxon invasions contributed just a tiny fraction to the English gene pool.
