All Brits would not recognised the inhabitants of neolithic/Chacolithic inhabitants of the Islands as their ancestors. Because they were not. The British isles was an extreme case of population replacement, up to 90%, although it bounced back up by a few percentage, waves of Bell beaker related migration from the Celts to the Anglo saxons to the Vikings pretty much wiped out the influence of the local British farmer by the middle ages. Southern Europe was invaded and suffered population damage but the local neolithic population was much higher in the Med due the warmer climate and the mountains chains which separate Iberia and Italy and Greek from excessive steep invasion. In fact, you east Iranics have more Steppe ancestry than Greeks for example, esp. Kalash and Yagnobis.
