DNA research seems to show that the Celts and the Saxons were both like the Normans, little more than an invading aristocracy, and the actual base of the British population has remained from pre-Celtic times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Discovery told the story of the Chesbourgh man, from the town of the name!. He's still there, under a stalactite and has been formed by ten thousand year by the calcium coming down on him!.
He has an actual relative, a science teacher that has been traced all the years back to him, with the DNA!. So, I guess it goes without saying, the Neanderthal were in the British Isles when it was part of the mainland ten thousand years ago!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
