Hi,

I would like to include haplogroup G* as part of the early Celt's as well.
This is due to the G*'s being most represented in the Caucasus Mountains
whose Neolithic migrants are thought by both linguists and archaeologists to
have introduced the Indo-European language to Palaeolithic Europe.

If this was the case, as this new evidence seems to support, then the
original Indo-European Celts were the farmers of Europe.

I would be interested in any further opinions and any known timelines that
may relate to this.

Regards
Grant South

correctly, that's the date for the flooding of the Black Sea, thought to be
the origin of the Deluge myths of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Greeks, and
Hebrews (as in Genesis).
