Southern Great Britain in AD 600 after the Anglo-Saxon settlement, showing England's division into multiple petty kingdoms. Researchers have used ancient DNA to determine the nature of the Anglo-Saxon settlement, as well as its impact on modern populations in the British Isles.

2022年9月21日 · However, these studies only looked at DNA from a handful of individuals. By increasing the scope of these investigations to almost 500 human remains, including 285 from England, the new paper provides the most detailed insight yet into the development of …

2022年9月23日 · However, new ancient DNA results show that around 75 percent of the ancestry of individuals in Eastern and Southern England was from continental regions bordering the North Sea, - including the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.

2015年3月19日 · The majority of eastern, central and southern England is made up of a single, relatively homogeneous, genetic group with a significant DNA contribution from Anglo-Saxon migrations (10-40% of total ancestry).

2025年1月15日 · Researchers discovered that the Anglo-Saxon immigrants were genetically very similar to modern Dutch and Danish, and that they contributed 38 per cent of the DNA of modern people from East England, and 30 per cent for modern Welsh and Scottish.

2022年9月21日 · Here we study genome-wide ancient DNA from 460 medieval northwestern Europeans—including 278 individuals from England—alongside archaeological data, to infer contemporary population dynamics.

2016年1月19日 · Contrary to narratives suggesting large-scale displacement of the Britons by Anglo-Saxon invaders, the researchers found evidence of intermarriage in the earliest phase of settlement.

A new genetics study estimates that approximately one-third of British ancestors were Anglo-Saxon immigrants. Appearing in the journal Nature Communications, the article made use of burial sites near Cambridge to examine the whole-genome sequences of …

2016年1月19日 · Here, we present whole-genome sequences from 10 individuals excavated close to Cambridge in the East of England, ranging from the late Iron Age to the middle Anglo-Saxon period.

2002年7月1日 · The best explanation for our findings is that the Anglo-Saxon cultural transition in Central England coincided with a mass immigration from the continent. Such an event would simultaneously explain both the high Central English-Frisian affinity and the low Central English-North Welsh affinity.
