Something you are already aware of, I'm not a Noridicist and fine well you know it. If I were a Nordicist I would not post so many dark Britons and I would be trying to plant blonde/blue -eyed giants in places where they do not belong and I would be claiming certain populations were pure. I do none of this, indeed, your own brand of centrism, Afrocentrism, has much more in common with Nordicism than what my pro-British stance has. The pattern that forms this silent allegiance Afrocentrics share with pro-Nordics has been noted ,any times before; i.e. southern Europeans are mulatto, one drop make you black, separatism etc. I will find something positive about all European contributions, just as you try to do with Africa. However I am quite happy to concentrate soley on Britain/Ireland since this is where my entire heritage is from and since I live in this island right now.
Well, why don't you point out what people (Sub-Sahara Africa to you) have now that the didn't have in prehistory. Introductions from Europe do not count. And no, I do not have any right to the whole of northern Europe, only the British Isles.
Why should northern Europe be restricted to a time when it only begun to be populated? Imagine of places like Skara Brae were littered all over the UK, we would then have a city. The reason for them being dispersed widely is because Britain, Scotland in particular, had a tiny population were only clusters of people remain. Yet a 5000 year old Skara Brae is far more advanced than an sub-saharan Africa village of modern times, more advanced than Australian Aboriginies humble dwellings and more advanced than Negritoes and remote native American Indians.
I am sorry, but if the above is just so primitive, what does it say about this modern people?
Britain also had invasions to deal with, one culture arriving after another, not given a chance to establish some continuity. With Scots, Picts, Celts, Romans and so on all present at one time, the most important thing that they accomplished was to prevent the island being completely colonized. Once they were successful in defending their territories, after all a land that was almost empty would always have been worth quarelling over, then settlements and a more widespread British culture became known, from this flowered the missionaries who transported their manuscripts all over Europe in those places that later would become the most important - northern Italy, France, Germany, Austria and Scandinavia.
When the Romans arrived (note Romans were not mediterraneans), they had already experienced the presence of Celts in Italy before they even eached Britain. Note too that the Romans described britons has high-spirited and warlike, but they were also people whom the Romans found were fond of their ideas.
Education was also carried on by these early monks, Their monasteries were seminaries for the training of the native youth, and were frequented by adult foreigners, who flocked to Ireland from all parts of Great Britain, France, and the Continent generally for purposes of study. Among the distinguished persons who thus visited Irish or Scottish monasteries were Egbert and Chad, the French Agilbert, who succeeded Birinus as second Bishop of Dorchester A. D. 650, Aldfrith, who succeeded his brother Ecgfrith as King of Northumbria A. D. 685, Willibrord, the Anglo-Saxon missionary to Frisia A.D. 690, &c
In England (including Northumbria): Lindisfarne, Lastingham, Ripon, Whitby, St. Bees, Malmesbury, Glastonbury, Burgh Castle, Mailros (old Melrose), Coldingham, &c.
In Wales: Hentland-on-the-Wye, Caerworgern, Caerleon, Bangor-Deiniol (or Mawr), Bangor-Garmon, Llandabarnfawr, Llancarvan, Bangor-Iscoed, Clynnog-Fawr, Llan-Iltut, Llanelwy, afterwards St. Asaph, Caergybi, Enlli, Tygwyn-ar Daf, Docwinni.
In Ireland : Durrow, Clonard, Kildare, Clonmacnois, Aghaboe, Kells, Bangor, Bin, Tirrdaglas, Glaisnaoidhen, Inismacsaint, Clonfert, Drosnore, Moville, &c. One of the successors of St. Patrick, Luan by name, is asserted by St. Bernard to have founded alone a hundred monasteries. The smaller islands round Ireland swarmed with them. Ten monasteries were founded by St. Enda alone on one of the Aran isles off the coast of Galway.
In Scotland numerous monasteries were founded by St. Columba and his monks among the Picts and Scots, the names of fifty-three of which, in addition to his own central monastery at Iona, have been preserved, at Soroby, Dunkeld, Inchcolm, &c. Many of the Scottish monasteries were placed on islands, which, perhaps on account of their superior safety, had a great fascination for the Celtic monk.
In France: Remiremout, Lure, Besançon, Romain-Moutier, Bezieres, Brezille, Cusance, St. Ursanne, Jouarre, Reuil, Rebais, Faremoutier, St. Maur-les-Fosses, La.guy, Moutierla-Celle, Hautvilliers, Moutier-en-Der, St. Salaberga, Fontenelles, Jumièges, St. Saens, Luxeuil (S.D. 599), Anegray, Fontaines, Peronne, Toul, Amboise, Beaulieu, Strasbourg, in addition to other countless and nameless 'Hospitalia Scotorum,' alluded to in the Capitularies of Charles the Bald, A.D. 846.
The above mentioned were Irish foundations. Brittany had been colonised by British Christians at a much earlier date. The single Welsh monastery of Llan-Iltut numbered among its disciples SS. Malo, Samson, Teilo, Magloire, Brieuc, Frugdual, Corentin, Gildas, &c., all of whom are reported to have passed over into Brittany, in consequence of the persecution of the Saxons, and there to have founded towns, or built monasteries, or established bishopries, which in many instances still bear their names.
In the Netherlands: Naniur, Liege, Gueldres, Hautmont, Soignes, &c.
In Germany and Switzerland: Hohenaug, Erfurt, Freyburg, Ettenheimmünster, Schuttern, Ntiremberg, Wurtzburg, Memmingeu, Mentz, Cologne, Regensburg, Constance, St. Gall, Mont St. Victor, Reicbenau, Bregenz, Rheinau, Seckingen.
In Italy: Bobbio (s.n. 6 iz), Taranto, Lucea, Faenza, Fiesole.
This list might be largely extended. It does not include many monasteries which, Celtic in their origin, passed subsequently into foreign hands, as was the case with Great St. Martin's at Cologne, where, as elsewhere, when the first fervour of its Celtic inmates dwindled away, their places were filled up by the inhabitants of the country in which the monastery was situated. St. Bernard compared the missionary inundation of foreign countries by the Irish to a flood. A list of 122 monasteries founded by Irishmen in England, Scotland, and ou the Continent was collected by Colgan in a lost work, of which the Index has been preserved and is printed in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, vol. vi. p. 106.
