Who are we? The story of the peoples of Britain and Ireland, drawing
on new genetic discoveries, language, buildings and landscape.
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.
