The population of Britain has been broadly homogenous for about a millenia

• orwin 1y ago
  Britain and Japan are definitely the exception, not the rule, and "Homogeneous" does a lot of work here. At least 4 different ethnic group mingled together for a millenia (well, 3 of them did, and the fourth waited 400 years until they were kicked out of Aquitaine and normandy to start). Not taking into account places like Cornwell which is so different from britain. I'm probably closer culturally from an average Cornish than anybody from Essex, York or probably almost anywhere in England not living near the Channel in front of Brittany (unless people in Essex have sea shanty festivals, play cornemuse, play Celtic games, eat blue cheese, and speak a language close to Cornish).
