Re: The Celts : a comparative analysis
For a start, afaik R1b is not "Celtic-Nordic" (I assume that he refers to the Hallstatt Kelt racial type). It is most abundant in the West, especially among the Irish people of Connacht and the Spanish Basques. None of them "Keltic" and only the Connacht people lightly celticised in a cultural sense.
If the Normans brought R1b in Sicily, that would have been admixture in the Normans themselves acquired through mixing with the inhabitants of modern Normandy.
At least that's what makes sense to infer.
