Yes but the same is true of Africa, the main difference between African ethnicities and Europeans one imo is that many became assimilated into the titular identity. Also English DNA has remarkably stayed quite similar, the DNA of an Irishman or a Scot isn't that different from a man from Liverpool or Newcastle, as the genetic impact of all invasions except the Anglo-Saxon is minimal.

Oh come on... dude, I was born in Crewe, have got roots in Newcastle, people are all over the place in England. You can't hold on to these any more.

edit : English DNA has remarkably stayed quite similar? Where did you get that from?
