Arrival of Beaker folk changed Britain for ever, ancient DNA study shows

IOW, the Book of Invasions is right again!
It is happening again in Britain and it won’t take 300 years to replace the population.

But the story changes when the Bell Beaker culture expanded to Britain after 4,500 years ago. Then, it was brought by migrants who almost completely supplanted the island's existing inhabitants - the mysterious people who had built Stonehenge - within a few hundred years. "There was a sudden change in the population of Britain," says Reich. "It was an almost complete replacement."
Immigrants replacing the natives...now where have I heard that before. Somewhere, somewhere recently....
It happened even faster to the Indians of North America.
It sounds like the Bell Beaker people were giving away smallpox infected blankets to the locals. /s
Mostly by males and population replacement? Hmmmmmm? Where are we seeing that now?
It would make sense that refugees fleeing outbreaks of plague could be behind some of these resettlements. Of course the modern counterpart also often stems from another kind of plague: Islam.
But where early peoples may have been powerless and unsuspecting the leaders in the West who want a less Christian, or even less white, society are into civilizational suicide eyes wide open.
Tower of Babel: 2242 BC
Genesis 11:6-7 (NIV)
6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
without disclosing the specific ancient haplogroups, it’s kind of meaningless to just say ‘according to DNA...’

The Guardian has no idea how much I loathe their politics and that I would never even consider paying them money.
You have to suspect culture, technology and particularly susceptibilities to diseases. Culture must have been fairly dominant in that female dna mostly survived.
interesting.
the theory that ancient brits were killed off by the plague may explain why only may 40-60 percent of the population was killed off in the 1300 by the plague when it struck again.
by comparison the death rate of new world indians when exposed to chicken pox or small pox was close to 100% because they had never been exposed to these diseases before.
How many came to California from Mexico?
I gues this all explains why Britain now is going to pot.
Its happened before.

In Ireland the neoliths were know as Fir Bolg.
The beaker people likely were the Tuatha De Danann. The Celts (Melisians) subsequently replaced them.
Legend really is not much in conflict with the science.But the stories give a lot more character to the transitions than the dry science.
