@ulfcytel The opinions of those People who say “the English aren’t Germanic” can easily be discounted as not having researched at all. The English are even Germanic when you consider part of the France IA DNA comes from Celtico-Germanic groups like the Alemanni, Franks, and Flemish
@gothimayo23@Tom_Rowsell Thanks brother, I think I need to defeat Christianity on an intellectual level as well. Would you have any book recommendations against Christianity, especially from a Pagan perspective ?
@OglaghnaHeirean Although archaeological evidence also points to a huge influx of Frankish peoples into the South,like Kent.
Perhaps it’d be best to split that CWE, percentage in two, one for Germanised Celts and one for the native lowland celts.
Hopefully there will be more studies on this .
All areas of England bar Cumbria, Cornwall, and the Black Country are majority descended from the Anglo-Saxons.
This take is dog shit.
All the genetic and material evidence points to a complete replacement of previous Brythonic ethno-cultural. Not just a ‘cultural switch’.
Nordicist rape fetish. In fact, there is NO area of modern England that is majority descended from Anglo-Saxons and Mercia, Wessex and Northumbria were all Celtic states that switched culture.
@OglaghnaHeirean You can’t really combine those two sources though. One is most definitely native, that being the insular.
Yet recent finds point to the CWE dna being close to that of Germany-Celtic groups like Franks, Alemanni, and Flemish. All forgotten groups from the migration
@MarzhinMyrddin That would not make the English 60-70% post-Saxon then?
You also can’t combine insular and continental Celtic genetic sources which would make therefore the English “majority” CNE.
@OglaghnaHeirean Where does this number, 55%-70%, come from?
The native celts were insular bar some continental, mainly in the south east.
The modern Englishman is maximum 30% insular Celtic. The only place where you’ll find people with upwards of 50% native dna are on the borders.
