The study showed people in Celtic areas: Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany
and Cornwall, had strong genetic ties, but that this heritage had more in common
with people from the Iberian peninsula.
Finally I understand my Welsh heritage and lust for Tex-Mex food!

That's okay.
I'd sooner have something in common with the Spanish, than the French and Germans! ;-)

Thanks Blam. marron -- Doesn't that just tell us that there was a strong Celtic presence in pre-Roman Iberia?
Servant of the 9 -- Until the Germanic invasions starting in the first century BC, Spain was a Celtic country, as was Gaul.
spot on! Mikey_1962 -- the Irish Celts gave the bagpipe to the Scots....evidently they did not get the joke
;') The pipes used to be found all over the Isles of the Mighty. Another survivor are the Northumbrian smallpipes. Question_Assumptions -- Given that "Celtic" is defined by the language they speak, this really isn't all that surprising. I'm sure that many speakers of Indo-European languages aren't that genetically related to the original "Indo-Europeans" of the Caspian Sea region.
Quite agree, and would add that most genetic studies are hogwash. Fertile lines have exactly 46 lines of descent, weaving their way back through the past like the Caduceus. Redleg Duke -- This "Boffin" needs a Claymore Enema!
:'D And he'd only need one! ;') Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

This argument pivots on how one defines "Celts"I've always found this quite confusing. Thanks for the book suggestion.

Hey now, the Irish are simple Scots before the Scots got it right. We can't help it if they're only seond best ya know!
And btw, bagpipes rule.
To: blam
Since the original article essentially agrees with what I'd inferred over the years; OK, so what?
European history equals Celtic migrations, times, patterns, names, etc.
As to the British Isles, I'm more interested in what was it like there and who was dislodged by the Iberian Celts and those who followed?

You want to get into european histroy? All languages from northern India to Ireland share a common root. All of them are Aryan. That's right, celts, northmen, greeks, and gauls are all originally from India.

That's great that they aren't decsended from frogs... but from strong races of man.... makes me proud... Scott-Spanish blood.
