Stephen Oppenheimer responds to readers' questions and comments on his October 2006 article on British ancestry

Everything you know about British and Irish ancestry is wrong. Our ancestors were Basques, not Celts. The Celts were not wiped out by the Anglo-Saxons, in fact neither had much impact on the genetic stock of these islands

Modern genetics has now shown that the "out of Africa" theory is correct.
