Are you kidding? They actually spent money on this?

Yep.

Heh, just drew the conclusion that the English are sort of bashing themselves when they go after the Irish/Scots.

That's a bit awkward.

Considering the fact that we can all be traced back geneticaly to the San(if i remember correctly) people from Africa it is not really a surprise, now is it.

Think you mean, English, Irish, Scots.

EDIT - We more or less knew this already.

Wot about the Welsh then?

Am I right in thinking there are very few both genetically and geologically distinctive
peoples in Europe?

The Basques and Sammi are the only ones that spring to mind.

Europe has been a genetic melting pot for thousands of years, let alone England, Scotland and Ireland.

Personaly I decend from Scots, Germans and Hebrews and English.
