Theory that \'Celts\' are a myth

That is something I was not aware of and does point towards the chap as perhaps being something of a bounder! :roll:

Perhaps somebody could get him to come on here and explain himself then? That commercial attitude certainly disappoints me

LOL, Everyone is entitled to make a buck.

It's the difference between a popular book and peer reviewed publication. In the latter one is subject to one's peers but in popular books, anything seems to go. Brian Sykes did the same with his Seven Daughters of Eve and his company Oxford Ancestors:

"If you are of European descent, then there is a 95% chance that you will be related to one of the clan mothers described in Prof Sykes’ book “The Seven Daughters of Eve”."

Oppenheimer has the commercial edge over Sykes because it is much more exciting for people to think that they are descended from some Viking in Britain than some woman who lived around Athens 40,000 years ago.
