The Celts came off of the steppes?  I thought they were in southern Europe at least as far back as the end of the last ice age.  :huh:

Didn't they find ancient redhead remains in China?

Tocharians != Celts, though both are Indo-European.

All Indo-European peoples have roots on the Caspain steppe, at the very least linguistically and, to a certain extent, culturally.  The Celts in particular appear to have had quite a bit in common with the Scythians artistically.

Now genetics are a different story.  Obviously, the  Assamese and Irishmen have different genetic background, however. \


Gypsies?  By the year 1000 I think they were turning up in Byzantine records.  No one is exactly sure when they came from India, though.

"Dysthymia?  Did they get some student from the University of Chicago with a hard-on for ancient Bactrian cities to name this?  I feel cheated."
