With sexism. Mary Beard is fucking great though: https://www.the-tls.co.uk/roman-britain-black-white/ Pity that the genetic evidence wasn't being used to show that long before the Romans , what is now Britain was previously populated by waves of incomers . Also worth mentioning that lack of evidence of a particular marker doesn't mean that it wasn't present earlier .This is a common finding among invaders , other examples apart from the Romans is the lack of Danish, Norman and Viking genes in the later English population , they are uncommon but there is no doubt about their earlier presence .Possible explanation is lack of intermarriage and as has been suggested in some cases the killing of those who could be seen as "collaborating "with the invaders .
