Such as the English being very close to Frisian and Danish which seems to indicate that the Celtic Britons were pushed off the land or killed during the Anglo-Saxon invasions.

The latest evidence says not. It appears that the Celtic blood of Southern Britain still runs strong... Y Chromosomes Rewrite British History

I meant for the most part. Yes, there is still Celtic blood in the UK and in some places in southern England but the distance analysis I saw for the UK was 7 units away from those of Denmark (this is very close). And this was for the capitols of each country. And I would assume London would be included in 'southern England.'

I wonder what they mean by southern England (Wessex?)? Plus I wonder about the assumptions made with respect to normalizing the Y differences to the central Ireland population. As Ireland was subject to quite heavy Viking activity with lots of slave trading going on there.

I guess I would like to see some corroboration since much other evidence seems to refute their claims.

That is some cool stuff though, even with the caveats, and helps to further understand what the heck happened in England during that time.

Did they speculate how much of the Celtic blood in England is from Irish immigration there?
