The way I see it is, Western Europe is this group, Eastern Europe is R1a/corded ware and then Germanic is a mixture of the two plus also a larger proportion of hunter gatherers than elsewhere. Then also we have Southern Italy and Greece where other neolithic groups settled.

In my opinion that view is too simplistic.

The germanics conquered and then created the western europe we still live in so the importance of them is enormous. They have contributed to the western European culture(since the fall of Rome) more than the celts.

The continental Celts was culturally marginaliced a long time.
