Romans and Alpine Celtic

[Watchman]

I suspect it all comes down to what Watchman says (though I daresay the Finns/Lapps giving name to your own country seem unrelated to the rest of us)

What.
You know you kinda lost me there, also in how that relates to anything.

Anyway, the article quoted in the OP seems to be excessively hung up on some genetic connections that one suspects are as much the product of the Migrations as any prehistoric population drifts, and goes on to draw some rather far-fetched culture-related conclusions from them which is AFAIK pretty much gross bullshit by default.

He(?) also rather cuts corners in apparently lumping the Urnfeld and Hallstatt cultures together, which is kinda dodgy, and seems to assume the connections northern Italy had with the Danubian corridor (and the Hallstatt centers there) somehow automagically results in some kind of close kinship between the later, highly warlike, La Tene phase of Celtic culture and the by that point heavily Mediterranean-influenced Romans...
