A DNA study has confirmed that London was an ethnically diverse city from its very beginnings, BBC News has learned.
"The thing to remember with the original Londoners is that they were not born here. Every first-generation Londoner was from somewhere else - whether it was somewhere else in Britain, somewhere else on the continent, somewhere else in the Mediterranean, somewhere else from Africa," she said.
"So the stories we can tell about our ancient population are absolutely relevant to modern contemporary London because these are our stories - these are people just like us."
The most complete skeleton studied was that of a 14-year-old girl, who the museum curators have named "The Lant Street teenager". The teenager had blue eyes and yet there were things about her skeleton that suggested some she had Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Like many people living in the capital today, she had travelled a long distance to be in London.
The analysis showed that Mansell Street man was over 45 years old with very dark brown hair and brown eyes. His mitochondrial DNA line was from North Africa and his remains show African traits as well.
What now, racists?

Angles, Celts, and Saxons...a bit of roman from soldier rape.

>>56534823
>Came with the romans, probably as a slave
>City founded by romans has people from roman territories in it
>Romans conquered the shit out of the locals in order for this to occur
I guess you're in favour of colonialism then you fucking cultural imperialist
>>56534883
Neolithic hunter gatherers, celts (brythonic, gaelic, celtiberian and gaulish), romans, angles, saxons, jutes, normans and danish
>>56534823
>study shows that London has historically been inhabited by one token nigger from the start
lets keep it that way?
>>56535103
Jutes are danes too
I know they're kind of retarded, but i don't think it's fair to them to exclude them.
>>56535261
I was more getting at the danelaw which was really sort of the norse, but occurred long after the jute colonisation during the migrationary period. But yes, jutes are danes too.

Educated people have always known the Roman empire was multiracial.
What now, unschooled child?
>>56534823
Not cherry picked samples, or propaganda at all....
Fucking BBC.
>>56535494
>the Roman empire was multiracial.
iow the Roman empire included regions outside of Rome.
>>56535803
Lots of slaves and other resources to be found outside of Rome.
WE WUZ SAXONS N SHIT
>>56534823
I'd tell you to start learning about Rome and their exploits, particularly their slave trade and auxiliary units.
>>56534823
liberals will believe this means England was made of blacks, middle eastern and some whites, like it is now
>>56536229
Instead it was some germans some scandinavians some French some russians some polaks and a ton of brits
>>56534823
Cool Cake Nadya ...

>>56536417
QUINTESSENTIALLY
>>56534823
>travel between continents has always been as easy as it is now
Why are liberals so fucking stupid?
>>56534823
Disgusting, shameless distortion of the truth
London: a city founded by the multi-ethnic Roman empire. It is not a surprise to find some southern Euro, north African, hints of sub saharan African, and near eastern remains there at all. This does not, of course reflect on the native inhabitants of the islands. That man with a "female" skeleton is interesting, though. Wonder what made them ID the bones as such.

>multicultural
Londinium was literally invaded by inbread shitskin mongolian Romans. You really think it comes as a surprise that London is now a 3rd world shit hole filled with human scum gyppos and niggers?
>>56535953
Heh...
This is probably true. Through the medieval period, there was quite a lot of travel. In the medieval university system, for instance, a typical scholar would study at 3 or 4 different universities, all across Europe.
Cities were population sinks until the 19th or 20th century, partly because of disease and violence, and partly because the work in the cities was largely skilled and children couldn't start helping out at a young age like they could on a farm, so raising children was expensive.
Peasants mostly stayed where they were born, but people came to cities from all over the place.
>get invaded, raped and pillaged
>l-look racists, w-w-we are multicultural!
Are liberals really this delusional? When its shitskins its multiculturalism, when its whitey its colonialism.
