Study shows parts of Britain still has same genetic make-up as 1,400 years ago

How we are still living in ancient tribes in 2015: Study shows parts of Britain still has same genetic make-up as 1,400 years ago

Scientists at Oxford University have found that modern Britain can be divided into 17 distinct genetic 'clans' with the Welsh having the most DNA from the original settlers of the British Isles. Despite their reputation for raping, the Vikings left little trace of their DNA, as did the ancient Romans. However, a quarter of English DNA was found to be German and 45 per cent was French in origin. The image above shows the geographical locations where the 17 different genetic groups can now be found in modern Britain.
