On
mainland Britain, the early hunter-gatherers were genetically almost
completely replaced by the first farmers, who were in turn genetically
almost completely replaced by the Beaker people. So very little mixing
of the populations.
In its piece on Stonehenge, the BBC doesn't comment on this stark fact,
which is very strange: it is probably tied up with political
correctness. But it says to me that early peoples were probably just as
likely as we are to regard foreigners as less than human, and why not,
we must have got that trait from somewhere.
