Most of the results are from Central and Western Europe. The original carriers of this haplogroup were most likely a pre-Indoeuropean group like the Rhaetians who were celticised and later participated in the spread of the Hallstatt-La Tene culture throughout Europe. It's still an uncommon haplo overall, but I see no other explanation for the way it's spread out.

One Hallstatt sample from Mitterkirchen, Austria matches with G-L497. It is a typically Alpine clade and quite rare elsewhere, so it might have been present among early Celts at some level. However, we have one sample from Vinca culture with L497, which might be the source of most L497 among modern-day Serbs.

You're not taking into consideration that Caesars conquest of Gaul was a genocide - millions at that time depopulated large areas of Gaul + Germanic tribes weren't too kind to those who they conquered either = Celtic numbers reduced greatly, ofc some of that was assimilation, but a lot of it was just murder.
I think Celtic mtdna remains.
A better question to ask is:
Is there more Scythian blood left on the planet or Celtic?
