First Britons

[kevinduffy]

Have you got evidence that shows that the Mesolithic and Neolithic Irish were wiped out?

Who is making that claim?

Look, Listen and Learn.

Wouldn't it just be easier to answer my question?

[QUOTE=MMaddi;416461]It's probably not based on anything the show's narrator actually stated. It's probably because 1798 believes that, as he's always believed. If you read his threads about the DNA of Western Europe, the British Isles and, especially Ireland, you'll see that there's a lot of supposition and strong beliefs expressed, without much in the way of scientific evidence.[/QUOTE]

How did they show that the DNA of Mesolithic Britons still lives on in modern Britons?

There was a documentary about the first Britons on the TV last night. The Mesolithic people used fire to clear woodland which makes sense and they did it long before the first farmers arrived. Cutting trees with a stone axe would not be the cleverest method. I think that the program showed that the dna of the Mesolithic people still lives on in the modern Britons.
