Why The Welsh Aren't English — And Who They Really Are

Why The Welsh Aren't English — And Who They Really Are The Welsh are not English. Their DNA proves it. And what they actually are is older than the country sitting next to them. For most of the last fifteen hundred years, the British Isles were sold to you as one story: Romans came, Saxons came, Normans came. A single island absorbed by waves of new people, where the Welsh became nothing more than a footnote, a regional accent, or a flag at a rugby match. But ancient DNA has finally pulled the curtain back on the chronicles. We now have the genomes of hundreds of bodies from medieval cemeteries across Britain, and the numbers tell a story that history books never dared to admit. The English were replaced. The Welsh were not. We walk into the stone cemeteries of Cambridgeshire, look at the wall built in the eighth century that still divides the island, and examine seven Roman graves in York where six of the skeletons belong to a place they never lived. Why did the Anglo-Saxon invasion wipe out the bloodlines of the east but fail to touch the mountains of the west? And why is the wall that separated Mercia from Wales still printed inside the DNA of the people living there today? 👇 Look at your own surname. The syllable in front of it is a paint stripe from the wall under the wall. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ RESEARCH REFERENCED Leslie S. et al. (2015) — Nature 519:309-314 Patterson N. et al.
