Abstract

The article considers the prehistoric and historic human migrations to the British Isles which constitute the races of people inhabiting Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. Historic peoples considered include the Picts, the Q-Celts and P-Celts, the Britons, the Saxons, and the Normans. It considers evidence from archaeology, linguistics, and physical anthropology. Migration theories proposed in books including "The Races of Europe" by C. S. Coon, "The Rise of the Celts" by Henri Hubert, and "Prehistoric Britain" by Christopher and Jacquetta Hawkes, are explored.
