First sorry by my english. latest DNA studies shows the haplogroup R1b were born in Iberian peninsula. The celt civilization were born in Iberian peninsula. The british redheads descent directly from Iberia. There are an article almost hidden for the people. Published in 2006 by "the independent" from the studys of the british genetist Bryan Sykes, teacher of Oxford University, wich explain how the british islands are not populated by saxons, in spite of this, there are 70% iberians and 25% vikings.
I strongly recommended the read of it. You can search by "bryan sykes independent"
It's funny that you mention Sykes 2006 as "the latest," when there actually is some real latest genetic studies of Britain being rolled out from Bodmer's People of the British Isles project. They've finally released their maps, which they have been contending demonstrate major Anglo-Saxon influence in England and lowland Scotland, with Scandinavian influence mostly felt in the Orkneys, and the Cornish and Welsh being the most obviously pre-Anglo Saxon populations in Britain.
