A rare Anglo-Saxon gold coin went on display at the British Museum in February. A new study suggests that an apartheid-like system gave Anglo-Saxon newcomers to ancient Britain both economic and social superiority over native Britons, which led to the near eradication of the Britons' gene pool.

The Socialist Gene???
This is probably the best book on the subject.
Then the Normans came along and wiped out all the Anglo-Saxons. Now, enter the Muslims...
Wait just a guldurn minute here: wasn’t there a recent study that showed more Celtic genes in the English population then was previously thought?
English And Welsh Are Races Apart
"Gene scientists claim to have found proof that the Welsh are the "true" Britons."
Wales has the highest concentration of 'O' type blood than anywhere elso on earth.
Sounds like pure suppositions to me
Seems to me apartheid is the wrong analogy. As conquerors, the Anglo-Saxons were top dogs, taking most of the wealth and having their pick of the women, which addresses the gene pool part. Had they segregated the races and actually lived in separate families in separate areas as in an apartheid system the gene mixing would have been more difficult.
“Theory”...This is how Darwin got published!!
I wondered if this thread would pull you in. I posted the R Haplogroup map.
Apartheid- and slavery - was the normal state of society until very recently.
I'm R1b (DYS390-23). The 23 after DYS-390 indicates that I came out of the Iberian refuge but went straight north where I acquired the 23 in Denmark and then went to Ireland (maybe as a Viking). The DYS390-24 left the refuge and went straight to the British Isles. (Like my sister's husband, Mr Moorhead)
My mother is a 'V' like 52% of the Skolt Sa'ami (Laplanders).
My dad's mother is U5a1a and is related to 9,000 year old Cheddar Man
"Grave findings have shown that late Palaeolithic settlers in central Europe and their Mesolithic descendants in the Scandinavian Peninsula were Europoids, who had compartively large teeth - a seemingly comical detail, but nevertheless an important factor in identifying these populations. Although it is very unlikely that the language of these settlers will ever be identified, I cannot see any grounds for the theory that either of these groups spoke Proto-Uralic."
