The Irish are Not Celts

[cmacq]

I think i understand what it means, and it kinda makes sense to me. That The people who live on the Atlantic coast of Europe from Gaelicia to Stornoway share the same genetic material with a good smattering of genes from central europe. Given the time scale and population migrations within history and pre history this makes sense??! YES?! NO?!?! im lost

Please read this line from the last para; What seems clear is that neither the mtDNA pattern nor that of the Y-chromosome markers supports a substantially central European Iron Age origin for most Celtic speakers.

However, Figure 3 suggests basically what you wrote.


Now, can anyone tell me why I always caution about trust and science? The more technical the study, the less trust should be given the claim.
