why scotland
>>
>>204267626
I'm not sure why myself I'm reading about it now. A lot of people seem to think it is due to their education
>>
>>204267626
Because scotland has James Clerk Maxwell whose intellectual achievement surpassed almost everyone from the 19th century except Louis Pasteur and Darwin.

Why Scots genetically? Because lowland Scots are just English, theyre not ginger bearded kilt wearing whiskey drinkers. Maxwell was probably just genetically English especially considering he was part of the landed gentry, he was born into a country estate

Its impossible to know how much british celt vs anglo saxon vs norman DNA Newton had, but Im inclined to think he was mostly germanic just because of his physical appearance (massive jaw and chin, prominent nose and eyes) and because the neighboring 100% celtic countries never achieved anything scientific at all.

Its sort of a snowball effect: once germanics are established to be good at science, its highly likely that people from mixed germanic-celtic countries are germanic.
