Italian Dinarids/Dinaro-Meds = Celtic influence?

Dinarid phenotype is known to be formed as a mix of ancient Aegean peoples and Celtic/Slavic people. Since there are a lot of Italian Dinarids and Dinaro-Meds but Italians have almost no proto-Slavic admixture, does it mean that Dinarid in Italy is a result of mixing with Celts? (Italians are mostly R1b with can be a sign of Celtic admixture).

Bump

Because Romans themselves were descendants of Celto-Italic people.

Yes there’s dinarid admixture all the way up to Scotland

No, not necessarily. There were many people and nations in Italy before Roman invasion and settlements.
