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.
The People of the British Isles (PoBI) is an ongoing population genetics project based at the University of Oxford. The project began in 2004 and is ongoing. The project began in 2004 and is ongoing. Professor Sir Walter Bodmer founded and leads the project.
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 ...
Bryan Clifford Sykes (9 September 1947 – 10 December 2020) was a British geneticist and science writer who was a Fellow of Wolfson College and Emeritus Professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford. [1] [2] Sykes published the first report on retrieving DNA from ancient bone (Nature, 1989).
A 2020 study, which used DNA from hundreds of Viking-era burials in various regions across Europe, found that modern English samples showed a 38% genetic contribution on average from a native British "North Atlantic" population and a 37% contribution from a Danish-like population.
The Britons (*Pritanī, Latin: Britanni, Welsh: Brythoniaid), also known as Celtic Britons [1] or Ancient Britons, were the indigenous Celtic people [2] who inhabited Great Britain from at least the British Iron Age until the High Middle Ages, at which point they diverged into the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons (among others).

DNA is a mixture of genetic material ‒ some inherited from one parent, some from the other – so it can reveal the full make up of someone's genetic inheritance.
Haplogroup I (M170) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is a subgroup of haplogroup IJ, which itself is a derivative of the haplogroup IJK.Subclades I1 and I2 can be found in most present-day European populations, with peaks in some Northern European and Southeastern European countries.
