I worked with graphic designer, JonuxCreative to make a graph showing 12,000 years of South British genetic history. Starting with Western Hunter Gatherers in Blue, then Neolithic farmers in green and Indo-Europeans in orange. The subsequent migrations of Celts, Anglo-Saxons and French people merely reshuffled the quantity of existing ancestral components. Therefore Britain's genetic history is marked by its remarkable continuity.
No Milesians or Japethian Scythians on the chart? Oh my...
