I looked on google but couldn't find much, other than an article suggesting white Americans are more than 20% E1B.



White American Y-DNA is common in North Africa

Always thought the E3b quotient amongst white Americans would be closer to 10% tops. Anyway, the major lineages must belong to R1b, I1 and I2b.

Major DNA would be R1b in North America....infact the majority where I live.

Theres a good bit of Southern European in white Americans, and even North African.

It must be counting jews as white in that article. Even if so I doubt it's that high. There's not possibly that many jews.

Definitely not I2b, it rarely exceeds 5% in Europe.

Southwestern Europeans are still mostly R1b, but its true, that the portion of E, G, T (mostly neolithic farmer haplogroups) is higher among them.

Not really only in places like new york city, boston and new jersey area. Mostly big cities is where southern euros can be found. If you lived in a rural new england town, the extent of a southern euro would be a franco-american and the majority of them have anglo-saxon [german, english, scottish, scandinavian etc.] admixture

I do not know why they think alot of north africans live here.....puerto ricans are the only north africans or would score with north african DNA. [most of their ancestors were expelled from spain for being descended from north africans I heard].
