But what if change it. that they came from asia and sailed to europe?

and would they count as caucasian (white). those peoplewho are said to have come from spain (later immigrated to france and ireland) as which race do they count. Not anglo-saxon... so why are they counted as white/caucasian...
I must say I do believe it. I find it very hard to believe that no-one sailed west from Europe and made it until the Vikings, and an ice age would have been the perfect time to do it. Not many people would've been needed to start a settlement in a completely uninhabited land, especially with the survival skills stone-age man would've had. Their settlements could well be under the sea now, or just confused with Amerindian sites, or just have been so few in number that they haven't been discovered.

As to their 'whiteness', well they certainly weren't indo-European, but that wouldn't mean they weren't white. There are plenty of people in Europe who aren't indo-European, but are white, the Basques for example, and as I understand the Finns and Lapps and other Urgic people are too, plus I'd imagine there's plenty of pre-Indo-European descent in Britain too (apparently, most British and Irish people are descended from a few original stone age settlers apart from the odd influx of continental genetic stock).
