So Balkan in general is home to densest pre Indo-European "Old Europe" I2. It's like a time machine.

Change the voice back. This one is creepy

I2+I1 the oldest europeans, today only 18% off european population.

Romanian ,Yugoslaves and Bulgarian are oldest in Europe

No mention of i-l22?

My Y-DNA is I2a. And i am Anatolian Arabic from Mardin/Turkey. This is very shocking.

the Daub river. Very funny

My I2 haplogroup (I comes from J which is middle eastern) actual historical family came from Switzerland. They migrated from the Caucasus Mountains near the river Danube 500 years ago. The end of the Swiss Alps is at the river Danube in that same valley so this makes sense. In real history, the Assyrian empire dropped off some northern tribes of Israel in that valley some 2500 years ago. This was how the Assyrians conquered people. They scattered them over their empire. One of those tribes was Dan, which might explain the name of the river. Why I mention this is that my particular Y DNA also has all of the (exceedingly rare) snp markers for the tribe of Levi. Levites were scattered throughout ancient Israel. They did not own land and served each tribe. Real history trumps evolutionary dating scenarios which have nothing to with what real humans did. History is much closer than we think. Our ancestors are much closer than we think. We need to start thinking in terms of a few thousand years of human history.

wish there had been more on I2 L596.

so most people in the Middle East are J1-J2?

Interesting video. I checked it out because my Y-DNA is a subclade of I1, I-Y6228, an East Germanic haplogroup usually associated with the Goth and Rugii tribes. My father's family was from West Prussia and Pommern before moving to the USA in the 1870s.

Super good job! Fantastic!!

It's a mistake in the video, I1 did not explode in Hungary. It exploded somewhere in southern Sweden during the Nordic Bronze age 2500BCE onwards.

Amazing Content. Waiting for the next Upload.

I2 from Montenegro here. Over 95% of south Slavs(Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Bosniaks) who have I2 haplogroup originate from one man who lived in 3rd century AD in modern-day western Ukraine(I2 PH908). Also all Slavs with I2 originate from one man who lived in 3rd century BC(I2-Y3120). Highest density of Slavic I2 is on Balkan(around 35%) but also western Ukraine and southern Belarus have around 20% of this haplogroup( historical Slavic homeland-Polesia). I2 participated in ethnogenesis of Slavs together with R1a.

From the data collected in the chapter Origin of Indo-Europeans, we see that men with haplogroup I on the Y chromosome and their women with haplogroup U on mtdDNA, whose descendants are a significant part of Slovenians, were the original inhabitants of Europe and most of the pre-Neolithic cultures belong to them. Men with haplogroup G2a and R1a joined them in Europe 9 to 8 thousand years ago and spread across southern, central, western and part of northern Europe 7.5 to 6 thousand years ago, bringing agriculture with them. They also brought their women with them. In many places, the original inhabitants retreated before them to more remote places and in many places did not mix with them for a while. About 4.5 to 3.5 thousand years ago, people with haplogroup R1b on the Y chromosome invaded them and almost exterminated them, especially in Western and Northern Europe. According to currently known data, our ancestors were also severely affected at that time, and later around 2.5 and 1.2 to two thousand years ago.

Really great video but also all of your videos are superb,im glad we have someone like you that actually talks about hg etc..which is not so popular today..

Dear author, can you make signs bigger because they’re too small even on iPad?
