Hans, the Gothic kingdom in Spain of course consisted of an
incomeing Gothic "governing" population which somewhat mixed up with
the already present celt-iberic-roman population.
I didn't say how "big" the gothic genom part was, they just mixed.

The same happened in England, when anglo-saxon ("germanic") or later
the normannic (remember Robin Hood? :-) ) overlayed and mixed up with
the celtic population in England.

As a bavarian i'd also like to see the romanic influence as small,
when celtic bavaria was captured by Augustus shortly after France
(well, except a small village.... :-) ).

Anyway, European "nations" people (and therefore much of USA/America

too)
are relative closely related, are relatives.
Because of the population streams
that happened in the years
400 ad ("germanic movement")
1000-200bc ("celtic movement")
4600-4400bc ("linearband people" movement?).

Isn't that nice?

And all other humans on the world (as i pictured) in a manner, not
too far away, too.

Right, but it may be.
It is at least possible and a little change in locations won't
change the picture much.

Gotland is said to be a very nice island
- have you been there?
