Doesn't "rus" mean red, a reference to many of their hair color?

Yaccov, As I understand it, the Celts were all over Europe before the arrival of the Germanic tribes (Saxons, Angles, Jutes etc) but that they were blown away across the continent and exsisted mostly in just the British Isles by the time of the Romans. The Romans delivered the knockout blow to the Celts about the time of Queen Boudicca. It is believed that the genetic remnants of the Celts exsist in the Welsh and Scots. The most interesting thing about all this stuff is that the genetic diversity of so called "caucasian" people is tremendous given the migrations of the different tribes and such. There really is no such thing as "pure" gene pools of Caucasian people in Europe. -John
