Re: Ancient Britons wiped out by prehistoric people
Interesting read Lee but always remember the academics always said the Neanderthals were wiped out by Cromagnam man but with the advances in DNA they have found strands of Neanderthal in modern British people especially in the North of the country. Makes you think!!!

Re: Ancient Britons wiped out by prehistoric people
Agreed grumpyjohn... I am not being funny but I remember a Alice Roberts programme about early human DNA and the redheads (ginger gene) have a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA, from memory 10 times more likely!

I'm OK then Lee, I have brown hair (albeit with a bit of grey here and there).
