Are you REALLY Celtic?

[gilmore]

... In statuary and shoe fitting it has been called the Greek foot (as opposed to the Egyptian foot, where the great toe is longer). It was an idealised form in Greek sculpture, and this persisted as an aesthetic standard through Roman and Renaissance periods and later (the Statue of Liberty has toes of this proportion). The French call it pied ancestral or pied de Néanderthal, believing it to be a sign of intelligence. Podiatrist/archaeologist Phyllis Jackson has interpreted it as a characteristically Celtic toe, as opposed to a Saxon toe. Cleopatra was known to have this, and many consider this trait to be a sign of beauty...

So, do we have in this proof that Celts are descended from the Greeks? or from the Neanderthals?

Actually,humans are not descended from neanderthals.

I kinda doubt if you have the "Celtic toe" it means you're Celtic, highly doubt it.

Actually, that is not so certain. After all, Neanderthals WERE humans as well as us, homo sapiens. To the best of my knowledge, there continues to be debate as to whether the two species(?) were able to reproduce together.

Incidentally, I seem to have the "celtic" foot, but got it from a different line that my Galician grandmother. What does that mean?
