One theory - which I am particularly attracted to - has ALL PEOPLES (well, 8 of them anyway) starting out after the flood of Noah, in Anatolia, which is Turkey. From there the original Celts migrated north and west, or south and west around the Black Sea and into Europe. So, the theory is not at all farfetched as it sounds. You are just hearing the tail end of it.

I sorta subscribe to that theory.
I believe that there was a large population of Celts (fishers/farmers) crowded around the fresh water Black Sea prior to it being flooded with salt water.

The whole area around the Black Sea was very arid during that period and only the coast line and the river valleys could support life. When it flooded (rising one foot per day) all these folks fled up the river valleys displacing all in their path and eventually covering all of Europe and introducing farming to all the areas in which they settled.
Linguists support this theory as they can trace all the farming words in the European language back to this region.
