Who do you think spread J2 within Europe?

[RandomGuy20]

I've read claims that the ancient Romans may have helped spread J2 (Y-DNA) within Europe, with concentrations of a J2 subclade apparently matching old Roman borders. I am unable to find speculation concerning J2 (mtDNA) which appears to be spread through-out Europe in small percentages, which seems rather odd. Does anyone have any theories about this?



Please excuse my ignorance, I'm new to haplogroups :)

Interesting question. It's a very intriguing haplogroup.

Well, depends on which J2 you are, there are european J2 aswell

This is in the mtDNA section, so you are wrong and must delete this.

uhhh mymistake i did not see mtDNA

J2 mtDNA is unrelated to J2 yDNA.

Oh come on I don't look like him. I don't have narrow eyes.

Do you wanna see picture of my Brother and Father, they are strictly dinarid and pontid.

I'm not saying you look like him, but he could be the Japanese/East Asian version of Bosniensis :D

I inherited Eyes from Slavs probably they don't look S European, but my father and brother are way more S.European. My Brother is 100% Pontid for example.

That's why many of S. Slavs look diverse, mixed nations.

J2 mtDNA is unrelated to J2 yDNA.

I never claimed it was related please re-read my post :p. Obviously a different population introduced and spread J2 mtDNA, I only mentioned the yDNA theory as comparison to mtDNAs lack-of. I have spent a couple hours researching but have found zero theories about it and am just looking for some possible insight.

I can't find anything on my particular subclade (J2a1a1a) but was able to find info on J2a1. 'Found mostly in western, central and northern Europe, particularly around the Alps and Scandinavia' (my motherline came from Northern Germany). However its still only found at most among 5% of the population in these areas which is interesting. I see you too are J2, are you yDNA or mtDNA?
