Then around 500c.e., group known as the Anglo-Saxons-(盎格鲁撒克逊) immigrated to England from what is now Denmark and Germany and took over political control of England This history raises an interesting question: are the modern inhabitants of England descended mostly from the original Celts 特人) or from the later Anglo-Saxons-? Several pieces of evidence suggest that the modern English people are descended mostly from the Anglo-Saxons.

First, the scale of the Anglo-Saxon immigration was massive. According to some sources written soon after the migration, a majority of Anglo-Saxons had left their homelands and come to England. The parts of Denmark and Germany where the Anglo-Saxons had lived originally lost most of their population. The sources imply that the large numbers of Anglo-Saxons arriving in England overwhelmed the original Celtic population and caused the Celts to retreat to other parts of Great Britain.

Second, the modern English language is derived from the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxon immigrants, not from the language of the original Celtic inhabitants of England. This fact strengthens the theory that the population of England today is mostly descended from Anglo-Saxons.

Third, a genetic study has been recently conducted among inhabitants of several villages in the east of England. The study looked at the villagers’DNA to determine which groups they were descended from. The study found that the DNA of the villagers was nearly identical to the DNA of people living in the parts of Denmark and Germany where the Anglo-Saxons originally came from. Their genetic similarity again confirms the theory that modern-day English people are mainly descended from Anglo-Saxons.
