From BBC News, Paul Rincon - Stonehenge: DNA reveals origin of builders


Ancient genomes indicate population replacement in Early Neolithic Britain (abstract)

"Genetic affinities with Iberian Neolithic individuals indicate that British Neolithic people were mostly descended from Aegean farmers who followed the Mediterranean route of dispersal".

Compare this passage, from a book I have just read:

From "Greek Americans, Struggle and Success", by Peter C. Moskos and Charles C. Moskos (3rd ed., 2014)

"The first Greek to set foot on these shores was Christopher Columbus.

Canoutas)..."One is obliged to admit that Columbus's Greek background is not accepted by non-Greek historians- the belief in his Greekness does reveal two enduring qualities of Greek immigrants: their overweening pride in their Hellenic background, and their striving to assert some psychic precedence over the dominant groups in American society".
