European History is intricate... so many characters and so many interlinking dynamics

It is hard to get a grip on it...
US and British are relatively easy to make a mindmap...

...because the British aren't European?

@SomeMichGuy technically they are not lol, they actively tried to ensure isolation ...
@Popobandar4 Technically, they are.

The Celts weren't autochthonous, nor were the Vikings, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes...

Isolation doesn't change the DNA...

@SomeMichGuy by that definition, Australia is not a continent either... nor the Americas, at least not now ,
And East Asians should be separated from the Middle Easterns 😂
@Popobandar4 Not sure how you figure Australia.

The Americas are continents but don't seem to have any self-originating humans any more than the British. [Note that this is different from cradles of civilization.]

There DOES seem to be a time during the land bridge where the mix of peoples whose DNA fed into that (likely) first wave of immigration created a new mix, but the DNA of the constituent peoples hasn't been lost.

Your only talking on the order of 10 k-yr ago, not millions. On that time scale, there isn't huge DNA drift, right?

Again not sure what your East Asian/Middle Eastern point is...

@SomeMichGuy well you contested the idea and said aren't British Europeans , ... I know they are, and have their own history as well... I just said European History is intricate...and then tried to prove it with Genealogy, whereas it is a geographical term and i can talking geographically ...
I read how people got to Americas and Australia and all.. the Middle Eastern reference was also in the same context
