@caitlinrgreen So there was an Anglo-Saxon invasion; invasion gave England its language.https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/604021174104920066 …Ahmed Alhasania added,

@Ahmed_Alhasania No, I'm happy with a degree of immigration, just also w/ significant population continuity too, see http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/01/lincolnshire-anglo-saxon-or-sub-roman.html …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@caitlinrgreen almost the same here I think a small invasion w/ small effect on the gene pool but gave language.https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/609772926020243456 …Ahmed Alhasania added,

@Ahmed_Alhasania Yes, a degree of immigration makes sense of the genetic data & the archaeological etc, IMHO :)1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@caitlinrgreen Immigration can take many shapes, one of them is the invasion.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@caitlinrgreen invasions had little effect on the gene pool e.g: Arabs conquered Egypt w/ 12000 & Normans' army in 1066 was 10000 strong.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@Ahmed_Alhasania As I think I've said before, the post-immigration situation can have a significant effect on the truth of this.

@caitlinrgreen invasion opens the door for peaceful immigration, e.g: Migration of Arab tribes to Egypt for 1200 years after AD 642.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
