"The Tribes of Britain" is a history of the British Isles written from the point of view of the migrations into the country that have changed the character of the population and the culture. It is a comprehensive history with useful insights but it was hyped as being based on new scientific techniques that have uncovered the complex genetic makeup of the UK. Because of this I expected a more scientific approach involving DNA studies. Instead the author outlined the various peoples who have come to British lands through the millennia to create the multicultural population of today. It was interesting but there was not much information that someone with a good knowledge of UK history wouldn’t have known already. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The diverse peoples of Britain and Ireland are revealed not only by physical characteristics but also through structures and settlements, place names and dialects. Using the latest genetic and archaeological research, the author shows how different peoples traded, settled and conquered, establishing the 'tribal' and regional roots still apparent today. Its vast scope considers the impact of prehistoric peoples and Celtic tribes, Romans and Vikings, Saxons and Normans, Jews and Huguenots, as well as the increasing population movements of the last century.
