@PCOwen_a ancestors of modern brits prolly arrived *as farmers* in neolithic: http://www.unz.com/gnxp/almost-all-britons-might-have-arrived-with-the-neolithic/ … see here, too:http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/281/1780/20132372 … -
@PCOwen_a the earlier hunter-gatherers (fishers) were prolly largely replaced. -
@hbdchick But the Western population followed the Atlantic from Spain. -
@PCOwen_a yup. but they brought their cows with 'em: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/281/1780/20132372 … (^_^) -
