Fascinating stuff. Note also the study comparing the mitochondrial DNA of 8th century BC Cheddar man with contemporary dwellers in Cheddar (yes it is the town the cheese comes from). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_Man). It supports the notion that the population, in the maternal line, is remarkable stable in that area over the centuries.
