Maybe we can solve this problem as to when Homo sapiens sapiens split into an English group. During our Geographical Evolution we went from Northern Africa up through the middle east and across Asia and Europe. We will assume that what today is called England is English. This means that somewhere between Africa and England the human population divided (somehow) and gave rise to the English.
As the English are unique and special, I cannot see how they would become 'their own people' by being separated from other tribes, that would make them no more unique than others, so I will put a possible scenario that I think could possibly have happened, and wish for the English and others of knowledge to confirm or deny this possibility.
I was thinking that perhaps some of the children born in these Homo sapiens sapiens tribes were born English, perhaps they had a unique marking on their forehead like Harry Potter or some other trait that could be distinguished as unique and special. Then these children knew, somehow, that they where above/superior/different from the other humans and started to look for others like them. Women from other tribes also birthed similar children and finally all of them rounded themselves up and became the first English people and then went to England which they knew was made for them (the region, these names did not exist until we made them up) and spawned all the other English of the world.
Could this possibly be how the English came to be? As I have a hard time imagining other scenarios, one would include that a group of people decided to be English but then there is no difference between an Englishman and non-Englishman and anyone can become an Englishman, so why call themselves unique? Why do 'they' have the right to a specific land and so on; it would make no sense.
Thoughts?
