Atlantid Type in the British Isles

[Smeagol]

Nordoid Celts? Doubt it. Darker types are much more common in Celtic populations.

Most people in Celtic areas today, like Brittany, Galicia, and parts of the British Isles are just Celticized natives. Although, the British Celts aren't really that dark anyway.

Plus the Celtic urheimat is from south/central - darker - Europe. The Celtic language family branched off the Italic one spoken by other darker types.

The Celtic urheimat is Southern Germany. Neither Italics, or Celts were ''darker types''. Hallstatt skulls for example were Nordoid predominantly, and the Hallstatt Nordid type was named after them.

ALL the Celts in Europe, from Caledonia to Galatia, from Gallaecia to Noricum were Celticized natives. Pure Celts didn't exist, being Celtic is a cultural thing, it's like being Jewish.

My point was only that the type has nothing to do with original Celts.

I'm not saying they're hugely dark, just Atlantid/Atlanto-med dark, like they are today.

Descriptions of actually Romans and Britons of the time make it clear how they looked.

Bob Geldof - Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, Ireland

Wow, Bob Geldof is aging nicely in a similar distinguished way to Jimmy Page, another Atlantid.

Original Celts in Central Europe? No, they weren't.

Which descriptions? Romans called the Picts, and Iberians swarthy, and the Gauls blonde.

Of the Britons, in this case represented by the Picts. I did mention the word 'Britons.' You just backed me up.

Jimmy Page looks like a dark Borreby with Atlantomediterranid influence.

True, but he does have an Atlantid element; the OP did say that not all the examples had to be pure Atlantids.
