Cro Magnon = celtic?

[jötunn]

So, Cro Magnon were people from northwest Europe who went further to the continent due to glaciation.

And, today, Cro Magnon race is present mostly in northwest Europe. Great Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway...

and some influences are also seen in Slavs and Romans... generally all the nations that had contact with celts.

Just wondering... is Cro Magnon the original race of Celts?

The oldest cro mag remains discovered so far are from Apulia. You got it wrong.

Celtic is not unique. This is every race including that lived from the ice-age to invading of the Indoeuropeans - in Central and Western Europe.

The ethnogenesis of Celts occured about 3.000 years ago. The Celtic upper class had been the Indoeuropeans of R1b1a2 (but they had been just a part of R1b1a2)

I guess the Celts of Hallstatt had been blond or reddish hair with green or blue eyes. But I am not sure about the origin of these hair- and eye-colour. Maybe these features came from the (northern) Mesolitics = old European (=Cro Magnon?)
