Celts a Mediterranean people?

[Nehellenia]

I believe it to be true, i believe celts to be central europeans who mixed with the basque/spanish atlantids and hense became their own group who then migrated throughout france and britain and so on so they would have traces of mediterranean admixture.

Northern europeanlike. Or simply european, which a brown man like you is not.

Right

Maybe the Irish are the most isolated British Isle natives, so they look the closest to Mediterraneans. I mean phenotypically. Red hair doesn't mean that they are not like that either, rather red hair confirms those older genetics.

Do you live in Ireland? Most Irish cannot fit in Southern Europe, and it's not about pigmentation.

If the celts were meds, like myself, are at least primarily medish they wouldn't have been driven to the fringes of Europe by the real meds and Germanics and would have had a significant civilization. Celts are inferior to meds and Germanics. There never was any significant celtic civilization. If Celts were meds there more likely would have been a celtic empire than a celtic retreat to like the backwaters of Ireland. The Welsh are Romanized celts so they don't count and the Scottish are half Germanic so not true celts either etc...

I am not living there right now. NVM what I said about Mediterraneans, what I was trying to say is Irish people and native Britons have some really weird looks, they look really different from continental Europeans. It's mostly the Brunn look that I am thinking of. Obviously the Irish are different from Germanics, otherwise they wouldn't look so different from them...it must just be the British Isles natives' look. Who were not related at all to Germanics...

Supposedly only a small minority of Irish look similar to native Britons significantly more Welsh and then Scottish look more native British. The true 'Irish' are different from both meds and Germanics but I have never been to Ireland and the Irish have been conquered so many times maybe the Celtic Irish really don't exist anymore.

Okay, here's a good example of what I am talking about, in fact I'll always point to this, the Gallagher brothers, I went to school with a fully Irish girl that looked a lot like female version of Liam Gallagher, and I have some family members who have this pseudo look.





It's a really Irish look. You can't find other Europeans with looks like this, if you can it's merely a coincidence. This look is actually quite common in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora.

Here is a chart, I don't agree with the message but it basically shows that there is definitely a difference between Irish people and Nordics:

Also, Scottish people and Irish people are really close. Scots are mostly a mix of Picts, Irish, and Anglo-Saxons. Many Scottish families descend from Irishers, like clan MacGregor has Irish origins. Many Scottish clans do.

No, Celts were an Indo-European people (blonde) who intermarried with Med/Neolithic populations upon entering Europe and spreading west.

Untrue,Celts were descripted as dark haired for Strabo.
And returning to the topic, yes, many historians support the Iberian theory about the origin of the Celts, exactly in the south of Iberia

Where does he describe them as dark haired?

By that stage they had intermarried with neolithic populations anyway.

So in a way British Isles Celts and Iberians are brothers...
