Theory that \'Celts\' are a myth

[authun]

I would assume that if one was using scientific data to hypothesise a new viewpoint/methodology in a popular science book then it would be prudent to get the science peer ratified first.

You'd think so yes. Or at least put in the sort of warning in that Jim Wilson did:

"we know of no other study however, that provides direct evidence of a close relationship in the paternal heritage of the Basque and the Celtic speaking populations of Britain."

Wilson could not have been clearer, this was a very tentative suggestion and the implication was that it should be used with great caution.
