The article explores theories regarding the early population of the British Isles, examining linguistic, historical, and archaeological evidence to trace the origins of its inhabitants. Greatheed discusses the migration patterns of ancient peoples, comparing British settlement history with other European regions. He also challenges existing scholarly views on the subject, offering alternative interpretations based on historical texts and cultural influences. Important points investigated include the linguistic connections between early British languages and other European dialects, the impact of migration on the development of British society, comparisons between Celtic, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon influences on the population, and the historical significance of early settlements and their role in shaping British identity. Greatheed’s research contributes to the broader understanding of ethnographic history, providing valuable insights into the formation of British civilization. 28 pages.
