So I took this ftDNA, got back the first 12 markers, still waiting on the remanding 37 (which will come in several weeks). It's predicting I'm I-M170 based on this data.
This is LITERALLY the oldest variant of I, it's the FIRST variant of I to emerge in Europe and the ONLY such one. From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I-M170Y-DNA Haplogroup I-M170 is predominantly a European haplogroup and it is considered as the only native European Haplogroup
It predates I1 (I-M253) and of course the one most common in the Balkans (I-M423).
I allowed the Serbian geneticist to gain access to my data, his response:
What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck is going on!For any definite grouping we must wait for all 37 markers. It must be said that 12 markers exact match could be false. For example, I have two exact matches on 12, but they are not matches at all for me on 25, 37 or 67.
They are not even close to me. And with my cousin (10 steps from me on direct male line), for example, I have three differences. And my father in law has about 100 exact matches in 12 markers, but none is close to him in 37. And all of them are thousands of years from him till first direct common ancestor.
In few days we shall know more.
And I must say that your I-2 branch is very misterious, and rare of course. You are first Serb to be in it. I know there
Its closer in time origin might be somewhere near Caucasus, but further in time it is certainly Europe, as are all I-s.
There is even albanian guy I2c guy. You have three differences to him, but, who knows!
