... Seems to me as though the Mongolian-Patagonian DNA link was made in the late 80's and featured in both Nat'l Geo and Omni mags, among others (JAMA comes to mind) - I'll dig deeper into my own archives & get back.
Meanwhile, your mention of celts and the fertile crescent (seemingly incongruous but uncannilly linked!) promts me to ask how&why both cultures point across the Atl Antic ocean to the 'land in the west' as being "where the gods came from?"
The children of the moon (Tuatha Da Dannon) were said by the celts to have come from across the ocean BY AIR, to have worn the finely tanned hides of deer and other beasts, to have worn feathers in their hair and to have been able to change into animals at will... They also taugtht the celts the sacred symbol of the quartering of the uniVerse into active and passive principles - a cross in a circle (this 'celtic cross' must not be confused in any way with the medicine wheel of the Hopi, Zuni or Navajo, no, no!)

Gilgamesh the king also had to cross the ocean beyond Gibralter to aquire the leaves of the burning bush / tree of life with which to restore the life of Inkidu.

Go figure!
