pre-Celto-Germanic I2b in Central Greece and Aegean islands

[Faklon]

http://www.eupedia.com/europe/european_y-dna_haplogroups.shtml

According to Eupedia,it appears to have a frequency of 3.5 in Central Greece and 2.5 in Aegean islands when it's lesser in the rest of Balkans and the most Northern parts of Greece.Albeit the samples are few and the frequencies small to compare.

On top of this,according to eupedia labelling:

Central = Thessaly, Epirus, Aetolia-Acarnania, Evrytania & Phthiotis.

Can anyone provide more info about this and a possible explanation?

Probably part of the mesolithic West European landscape.

Too bad the Greeks mixed with E-browns instead of keeping the superior I

I think a lot of these strange clades of I are related to Illyric expansions into the Balkans. Remember Illyrians came from northern Europe by most theories.

Anyways, I2c as example was born in Balkans, so many of these clades like I2b could have arose in Balkan before migrating to Germany in pre-history. It was introduction of Anatolian haplogroups (J, R1b and probably E) with neolithic expansions that brought all I clades to near death, until they were re-enforced by slavic expansions (who seem to be almost all I2a2b) in medieval period.

By the way first I1 discovered in aDNA so far was from Linear Pottery Culture (LBKT) in Neolithic Hungary:
