Most places in the world have had a lot of interlopers over time. Didn't the Celts interlope on the Beaker people? Probably the only folks who didn't interlope on others were the Neanderthals!;)

Don't stop anyone complaining spuggie.. I'm sure the original Beaker people complained when the Celts turned up sacking/raping mudering and other such inconveniences.

Some of us aren't so much complaining as being complained against ;)

We're all supposedly descended from that one woman in Africa anyway so who ever was here first didn't start off here.

Apparently, a woman the scientists have named Elizabeth, which is a nice name....for a black woman!:D

So we are all brothers (and sisters) under the skin.

Can't say I have much sympathy with a tribe calling themselves beaker people,
its not really a name that conjures up images of a savage warlike tribe thats
likely to put off any marauding Celts.
They sound like a right pushover, almost as bad as calling yourelves the teapot people.

Wonder if they were predominantly living in Staffordshire? :p

The only trace or clue we have was the pottery they made. Hence "beaker people"
