During the show Invasion! on the BBC, Dr. Sam Willis pointed out that there are no original inhabitants on these islands as they were driven out by the last ice age. His DNA is interesting https://x.com/drsamwillis/status/938110584691703808
And there were subsequent waves of immigration, mixing, remixing and blending over the 12,000 years since the end of the last ice age. We’re all mongrels, and better for it.

Strangers are just neighbours we haven't met yet.
It was fucking amazing, I certainly didn't feel like an island/archipelago.
