The genetic history of the British Isles is the subject of research within the larger field of human population genetics.It has developed in parallel with DNA testing technologies capable of identifying genetic similarities and differences between both modern and ancient populations.
Whether or not the British Isles were deserted during the last cold period around 10,000 BC, the Younger Dryas, is unclear but since then the genetic history of the isles has been continuous, with many immigrations from the continent of Europe since then as well as emigrations.
From Genetic analysis section, Sub-Roman Britain. Modern genetic evidence, based on analysis of the Y chromosomes of men currently living in Britain, the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, Friesland, Denmark, North Germany, Ireland, Norway and the Basque Country, is consistent with the presence of some indigenous component in all British regions ...

The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain introduced I1 to the British Isles. [56] A 2022 study found that out of 120 samples from Anglo-Saxon period England, 41 samples or roughly 34.17% of the samples belonged to haplogroup I1. The study noted that there was a heavy correlation between "CNE" Continental North European-like ancestry and Y-DNA I1. [57]
The indigenous Britons of Roman Britain were genetically closely related to the earlier Iron Age female Briton, and displayed close genetic links to modern Celts of the British Isles, particularly Welsh people, suggesting genetic continuity between Iron Age Britain and Roman Britain, and partial genetic continuity between Roman Britain and ...
The innovative research focused on the genetic history of the Turquet’s octopus (Pareledone turqueti), which lives on the seafloor across the Antarctic, and what it could reveal about the ...
The archer possessed above average EEF admixture of 45% whereas the companion had around 33%, more in line with other British samples of the Early Bronze Age. Another man, [ note 8 ] also buried in Amesbury Down and dating from 2500 to 2100 BC was also R-L21 [ note 9 ] and is notable of having an EEF admixture of only 22%, the lowest ever found ...
