Nobody ever talks about celts People here talk about Germanics, latins, and Slavs all the time but never celts
Now almost all celts were converted into another culture at some point or another, but almost all Western Europeans are celts racially
>France:90% celtic >Spain:85% celtic >Switzerland:95% celtic >Austria and Bavaria:60% celtic >north Italians and south French: 60% celtic >England: 75% celtic (they have less than 25% Anglo Saxon blood but larp as Anglo saxons for some unclear reason) >Scotland and Ireland: 100% celtic >Iceland: 50% celtic (yes, look it up)
It’s weird that celts constitute the common stock of western white Europeans, yet receive little attention from their own descendants
So this is a thread for the appreciation of our celtic heritage
Celts brought many things to some cultures, yet in most of them didn't build any long-lasting remarkable monument, didn't impact the language they speak now, and have been relegated to local folklore. The places that remember them the most are the ones the romans influenced the least (if any). Don't get me wrong, the celts were great, but its impact was limited.
Luke Garcia
good thread, bro
Alexander Watson
Julius Caesar pretty much crushed 90% of Celts in the Gaullic War, and then they were Romanized. Only the Picts, Scots, and Irish were surviving Celtic Cultures...
Bump give me more information, my girlfriend is Irish and wants to learn more about the ancient Celts. It seems the French are a Celtic people that became heavily Latinized by Rome far more than anywhere else bar Spain.
Daniel James
>Only the Picts, Scots, and Irish were surviving Celtic Cultures...
What is Cymru? What is Kernow?
James Perry
The Romans conquered Britain below Antonine's but they readily absorbed Brittonic culture to the point only the Southeast was Romanised.
Blake Jackson
Because they were all conquered by Germanics, it is the German nobility that established England, France, Italy, Spain and even Russia. The entire world is Germans speaking different european languages, fighting each other.
Jeremiah Martin
I think only the basque country has a cultural link with celts and/or iberians, unknown origin language, different culture, etc.
I think prerromanic cultures were wiped or mixed long time ago by the Roman Empire
Daniel Kelly
Bumping bc this is a great thread
Carson Edwards
celtic looks like shitskins ?
Blake Morales
Austria and Bavaria are the Urheimat of the Celts(Urnfield Culture to Hallstatt to La Tene). How are they only 60% Celtic?
Xavier Carter
>didn’t mention Wales Ya bastard
Lucas Nelson
true, France is basically Celtic stock. it gets little attentions because most associate Celts with potatoniggers
Eli Bell
By this logic, Romanians, Yugoslavians and Scandinavians are the same race because they both have the I haplogroup.
All hail the Thraco-Nordic Master Race !
Asher Kelly
I am pretty sure England was mentioned, and therefore Wales.
William Robinson
does being ethnically Celtic actually mean anything though, since I was born in America? Has it affected my personality/traits at all?
Ethan Perez
Shut up, paki.
Dominic Scott
he cute.
Samuel Cruz
>basque country not celts. pre-indo-european population which is unique for Europe
Romans targeted Celtic lands because of Celtic wealth, and cultural and genetic similarity. usually it ended up with some intermixing but much of it is intact, pic related
No one country is 100% 1 tribe, we are all various mixtures of different European tribes. Scotland being purely Celtic is always pushed by ira potato simps
A heady mix of nigger-tier aggression, judaic schizophrenia and germanic lack of empathy. Fuck celts, they can all go carve menhirs in a cave and shove them up their asses like the Neanderthal rape children they are.
Jaxson Johnson
>How important is it that Turks are mostly of Greek ancestry you coping faggot they re not, turks are 20% greek, turks are a complete mix of both old european, indo european anatolians, indo european greeks, and arabs, with 10% turkic dna
if turks were 100% ancient greek then it would matter yes, in reality turks are 40%arab 10% turk, hence their country sucks
Nolan Clark
yes I think he is
Kevin Moore
Yeah, my hair is also a bit curly
Adam Foster
Western Turks are around 85% Greek. North-Eastern Turks are around 95%+ Laz and Pontic Greek. You are a clueless retard who talks out of his ass, most likely underage.
Hunter Hill
>celts racially The fuck does that even mean? Cause you try to merge togethe most swarthy non-whites that are full arabs, red headed whites, and anything in between as ""celt"" ""irish"" or what have you.
>Romans targeted Celtic lands because of Celtic wealth, and cultural and genetic similarity. Egypt and Morocco are celtics then? Because they was under the Roman Empire too.
>France and Spain more Celtic than England Doubt. France is probably 25% Celtic, if that, and Spain less than 10% with some minor exceptions. The Romans conquered the Gaul way more in the past than when the Anglo-saxons conquered the Celts. During that time Germanic tribes (the Franks) created the French state. You're closer to Romans and Germans than you are to Celts.
English people are proven to be around 1/2 or more Celtic with the rest being Anglo-Saxon/Norse. The Anglo-Saxons intermarried and absorbed the Celts. Similar to how the Spanish intermarried with the with the Indians in Latin America.
Zachary Ramirez
Shhh you’re not supposed to ask this type of question in a race/ancestry thread or you’ll break the Yas Forums programming and make people realize culture is not skin deep.
Brandon Allen
cringe. Denmark is an ethnostate because of our genetical similarity and the fact that we trace our lineage to two Germanic tribes. Turks are literal mystery meat
Carter Allen
Yes, genetics faggot. Go do modelling in Vahaduo or nMonte and you will see. Oh wait, you are too retarded. Should have been more humble instead of spouting bullshit.
Elijah Reyes
I thought so, that’s the most common phenotype for this area of the country, my entire family fits it too
Colton Collins
There fact that Danes are not united with Swedes and Norwegians makes all three nations civnat constructs you cunt. You all cluster on top of each other genetically. Even different kind of Danes will be clustering differently, some closer to Swedes some to Germans. Every ethnicity is civnat. There were rarely hard borders between tribes. If tribes were on good terms they intermarried, ethnicity wasn't even a thing.
Brandon Lee
very correct
a lot of the south descend from romans (roman legionary no less), with the whole occitania thing, still in the region most farms and residences are named after their original roman names
north east italy is very much the same story, with some added 20% german dna from lombards later
also I find it funny that the people in the north of france are famous for being dumb/inbread and in your map they are germanic, kek germans btfo
Cameron Moore
It is because Celtic is not a thing. Julius Caesar almost lost against a numerically inferior force of starved Gauls. Romans were an offshoot of BBC anyway and thus could be considered brother people to the Celts in Gaul and Iberia. Most Celtic people spoke Germanic languages. The only non-Celtic Germanic speakers are Scandinavians, even then they are half Celtic themselves if we take BBC to mean “Celtic” Basques are pre-Celtic and surprisingly are the most similar genetically to the proto-Scandinavian I1 carriers. Whereas Scandinavians are most similar to the paternal ancestors of the basques (R1b IE)
Ryan Phillips
yes, for example people think that normandy is germanic because its named after a group of germans, while genetics show modern day normans are like 8% norman
Brandon Williams
Human groups are naturally limited to judt 150-200 individuals, modern stone age tribes are testament to that. The fact that there are "tribes" of 1 or 100 million make them human constructs built on top of instinct, not instinct itself. People are not naturally cordial to their countrimen, but they are to their neughbors in a small village.
Dylan Jackson
Where did you take those numbers. Lombards are 90%+ Celts according to the genetist Luca Cavalli Sforza.
Jose Hall
Imagine not caring what your roots are. That’s not programming, it’s instint. You instinctively care about your genetic similars
As an American ask yourself why should care about your father, you’re not him. >he raised me and made me who I am and made it possible for me to live Right, but your Celtic ancestors did that as well, except your dad is one guy, those celts were thousands who all lived and died so that you spit on them.
Henry Richardson
>Most Celtic people spoke Germanic languages. You do realise that celtic languages are still spoken today by people?
Ian Stewart
No, people are naturally drawn to their genetic similars. You will ultimately look more favorably upon a stranger of your ingroup than a familiar of your outgroup
Austin Thomas
>Iceland: 50% celtic (yes, look it up) this. Its always funny to see new worlders talk about Icelanders as the purest forms of north Germanics.
Brody Nelson
Yes and?
Brandon Ramirez
This is correct, I have found that I make better faster friends with phenotypically similar people.
Hudson Richardson
fucking G*rmans am I right eh?
Cooper Roberts
>North-Eastern Turks are around 95%+ Laz and Pontic Greek True >Western Turks are around 85% Greek Bullshit, Western Turks have the highest Central Asian heritage which is about 15 % on average, they also have more of a Balkan-Slavic ancestry than a proper Mediterranean one like Greeks
Julian Reyes
Icelanders are the purest forms of north Germanics
Jacob Perry
Exactly, it is a spectrum, and you will be drawn to a person from your town more than someone from a distant town in your country. Ethnicities are constructs like colour. There are very rarely hard borders.
Brody Stewart
Being ruled by an caste of Romans or Franks is different of being genetically replaced by them. Spain and France are more Celtic than what you think.
Lucas Foster
They barely have any Slavic so 85+15=100, what's the problem. Highest East Asian was in North Central and North West Turkey iirc at about 20-25%
Ryder Bailey
>racial traits Retard Americans really think real life is like World of Warcraft Just like being part Irish makes you more resistant to alcohol?
Landon Hall
>What is Cymru? What is Kernow? the britons are romanised celts and they extend beyond wales and cornwall, most of the south west of scotland all the way down to wales is largely britonic
Caleb Phillips
>You all cluster on top of each other genetically depends on the scale, we have our small internal differences. but the difference between us and Turkey's internal distribution is massive. ethnostates are reserved for small genetical variation combined with homogeneous culture. Denmark and Sweden cannot be fused because we are traditionally farmers' society and Swedes are forest people. and that is the source of rivalry since centuries
>posts haplogroups >he doesn't know about founder effect
Jackson Nelson
Why do you want to talk about Celts? It's in our interest to fly beneath the radar as much as possible.
Liam Baker
You are right, but "Turk" is as much of a meaningless and broad term as "Celt" or even French or Italian.
Oliver Sanders
No you brainlets it’s not about your genes but about things you have in common. Obviously genes are one of the things you have in common but it’s not the only thing nor is it the primary driving factor. The gaping hole in your logic is that “where you come from” is divisible. In a global world it’s easy to “the only reason why I can’t hang out with blacks is because they’re not white” but each individual country in Europe has a completely different culture and have been fighting with each other for centuries. Each country has its own regions with unique cultures and have been fighting for before and after they unified as a country. Each region has towns with unique cultures and parents would prefer their children to marry those they have more in common with in their town than in the town over. All of these divisions are despite the fact that you’re all “white.” Therefore, culture is about shared values and beliefs rather than immutable characteristics.
Nicholas Powell
I’m Celt, and I can tell a Celt from a mile off
Joseph Cox
I care about my ancestry, I'm just trying to think about what tangible effects it might have on me.
Celts were the first to be christianized in the North. This is why England had 2 christianizations in history, one celtic, second germanic. Germanic people were never really well christianized. You see that in French Revolution, when celtic Vendee rose up against Germanic revolutionaries from north-east.
Andrew Parker
>Just like being part Irish makes you more resistant to alcohol It does kind of. An Irishman (actually most europeans) will handle whisky and beer better than sake for example, with the inverse being true for a Jap
Ryder Green
>each individual country in Europe has a completely different culture how much of your theory is premised on this bullshit?
