Ancient Britons
Can someone help me with how this article begins? Professor Howard J Schultz, a mid-20th century historian, wrote the following about the pre-Celtic Britons in the introduction to his textbook:

"The early history of England is essentially a chronicle of invasions. Long before recorded British history began with Roman invaders, wave after wave of warlike settlers landed on English shores. Here the migrants mingled with other tribes so that the Britons became the most mongrel of races." - History of England, Barnes and Noble College Outline Series, No. 123, 1968.

While acknowledging that the author apparently holds an antiquated view regarding races and race theory, his opinion was the prevailing view at the time. I have also read elsewhere that explorers from Iberia had traveled to the British Isles in prehistoric times, perhaps much like the Vikings' early occupation of North America.

So in summary, what historical or archeological evidence exists supporting the beginning of this article (e.g., "The Britons (*Pritanī, Latin: Britanni), also known as Celtic Britons or Ancient Britons were the Celtic people...") that has erased these earlier peoples from the history of the Ancient Britons?
