The English being mainly of Anglo-Saxon origin, distinct from their Celtic neighbours in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, has been shown to be nothing but a myth. In fact, the the Welsh and Scots have almost as much Anglo-Saxon DNA in them as the English, but all three are mainly Celtic.

And you, Blackleaf: are you Anglo-Saxon, Celtic or what? :lol:

Blackleaf. All of that doesn't matter. In ancient times we all most probably originated in Africa and our ancestors were black. So live with it "BLACKleaf".


Most of my ancestors were white, probably around 99%.

No I don't think so. Very few whites in Africa where your ancestors originated.

I DO think so. The vast majority of my ancestors were white, despite what the PC Brigade and the Lefties try to tell me.

A study in the United States found that the average African-American genome is nearly a quarter European, but only 4% of European Americans have African ancestry.

Oh I'm sure there is some kind of "explanation" for how white folk just magically appeared in Europe at some point so that a certain portion of the mongrels could delude themselves into believing they had no coloured blood in them anywhere.

But then, you'd need to consider the source of such a thing.

Most modern Europeans have very little African DNA in them. Also, such things work both ways. There are a lot of black people with white ancestors.

As I've already showed, a study in the United States found that the average African-American genome is nearly a quarter European, but only 4% of European Americans have African ancestry.

Also, many scientists disagree with the theory that all humanity started in Africa, with the "multiregional theory" having many proponents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiregional_origin_of_modern_humans
