are English people already extinct?

[caviezel]

I heard that fully English people are a dying breed if not already extinct. the majority if not the totality of English in Britain are mixed with Irish, Welsh and Scots and I mean they have recent non remote ancestry from said ethnicities. then you have English with foreign ancestry from countries outside Britain and Ireland.

How about the Romans, Saxons and such, Danes/Vikings and the Normans? Could there be a more idiotic post describing a purebred European people such as the Britons?

The thing is that the Irish, Scots and Welsh are dwarfed by the amount of English. I'm sure there are plenty of English that can trace their ancestry to only an English ancestor in the last few hundred years. Anyway it works both ways as the English have also had a big presence in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The English also took control of these countries and had Plantation policies so I doubt they are a dying breed.

Rowan Atkinson for one can trace his ancestry back as 100% English. I've seen his family tree going back to really old times.

Indeed, most recent genetic evidence points to most Brits being descended from Ice Age settlers some 12,000 years ago, with all the subsequent invasions having had relatively minor impacts.

Urban England and the English side of Scots/Welsh borders are mixed.

There are rural parts of England that havent mixed as much in last few centuries.
