- Where did the Gaels originate? - History Stack Exchange
There are some theories that the Gael's originated from the Basque shelter and are not even of Indo-European decent, however their language originated from later invading tribes from central Europe who were more advanced and dominated (possibly of Asia Minor origin)
- Were are the Gaels, Picts and Britons physically distinct?
Did they all belong to the same ethnic group (Celts)? For those who don't understand "ethnically distinct", I mean could they be distinguished by shared physical characteristics of face, height or otherwise? Did a Gael look like a Briton or a Pict? I can't find anything relevant from my preliminary research
- Who were the pre-Celtic inhabitants of Western Europe?
By and large, we really don't know The timing of archeological finds with the language distribution when the historical record opens makes a very compelling case for the Celto-Italics being the chief people who introduced farming to Western Europe So any pre-Celtic inhabitants would have been Mesolithic (hunter-gatherers) Neolithic (farming) societies support an order of magnitude larger
