All of us will have ancestors who came to the British Isles both before and since 1000 AD. Over that thousand year period all of us will have over a billion direct ancestors, or how ever big that number is, I can't read it, compared with the figure of under a million and a half people who inhabited Britain then.
The whole population of the British Isles in 1000 AD, is similar to that number that now lives on the Isle of Wight today.
