What is its origin and how did it come to Europe?
Why is it so high in Byelorussia?

But why is it so high in Byelorussia, Lybia and Turkey? I never thought these three would be connected in great way, but it seems I was wrong.

It's thought it originated in today Turkey then it expanded in all directions.
Etruscans are believed to have been G2.

Ok, I see. But why the Byelorussians and not some other groups closer to Turkey (the Balkans for example)?

Weren't Etruscans J2 instead?
