WTF? Can't Scots and Welsh find someone who is actually Scottish or Welsh by ethnicity? Bad enough that Churchill is spinning in his grave over Sunak being a PM in Britain....he did not like Indians.
The obvious takeaway, this can’t happen accidentally, and the English, the Scot’s, and the Welsh, do not control their countries.
This also a warning for us. The UK had a much smaller population than the US but it’s only a matter of time before the same happens here. Perhaps to some degree it’s already happened. We have a government in DC that’s opened the border, and the opposition party shows no real interest in closing it.

It really is amazing what is happening in England and Ireland.
Not only are they getting flooded just as badly as we are, they have the imports running the show.

It's fricked up. Robert the Bruce and William Wallace with an assist from Sean Connery would come back and lead a rebellion against their fellow Scots.

There’s 0 fricking way they could know that. Also, what did the Romans write of them?
There were humans in Ireland long before "Rome" was a thing.

I find it hard to believe that back when we had Pangea, the precursors for humans were not present on most of Pangea?
Jesus Christ, people. Pangea was 300 million years ago. There were no human "precursors." There were the ancestors of mammals.

Here's how they did it:
They have dug up skeletons from all time periods and extracted DNA. This has allowed them to track genetic changes over the millennia.
The issue is that determining skin/hair/eye color from DNA can only give you probabilities. Sometimes the probabilities are pretty high, but usually not 100%. But with numerous samples I imagine it might approach 100%.
I have no doubt that early Europeans were darker skinned, but I doubt they were black. They likely had the coloring of a guy from Egypt or somewhere in that region.
And, yes, farmers from Anatolia replaced most of the native Europeans starting about 10,000 years ago (depending on where in Europe we're talking). These people would have looked very similar to modern Sardinians (they know this because modern Sardinians have had very little admixture since that time).
Then about 5,000 years ago, the Indo-European people came from Russia/Ukraine and replaced pretty much everyone in Northern Europe (and did so in just a few hundred years). These people were taller and blonder than the natives and gave northern Europe the coloring it has today.
Thank you. A historically cogent response. I was getting discouraged by this thread.

If the Rus just showed up 5k years ago, where did they even come from? I'm being an a-hole, but everyone came from Africa, so the Rus/Slavs are just returning to their roots, right?
The "Rus" did not show up 5000 years ago. People from the Pontic Steppe around the Black Sea called the proto-Indoeuropeans spread to the west and even to India. The Rus are much, much later in history.
