*Anglo-Saxon.* Your DNA, is the best definition of your Homeland, Heritage and Nation. Yes, Anglo-Saxons originate in S. Scandinavia although all Europeans are a mix of Homo Sapien and Neanderthal (the most emotionally intelligent species) and once had the same culture, language and identity to begin with, before splitting into Sub Tribes.
