@MagnoliaZZZZ The early Slavic tribes lived in close proximity to the Continental Celts in central Europe, and got along well. The Continental Celts moved west, and mostly populated France, which was the single most common ethnic group of Europe for several hundred years. The Slavs moved east, and became the largest linguistic group of the major Indo-European languages in Europe (yes, up until recently, there were slightly more Slavic speakers than Germanic language speakers or Romance language speakers; not sure if that is still true and tend to doubt it. Could be.) In short, most Europeans are part French and part Eastern European, once you go back far enough. Also, lots of Italians have ancestry from Ancient Greece. We think of all of those groups as "exotic," only because North America was populated by northwestern Europeans. They weren't typical. They were unusual. Very adventurous, too.
