You must hate Europe then, R1a and R1b are the majority. Maybe the Maltese and Sardinians are more your type of people.

People tend to be very absolute about what were the IE haplogroups...but different families of IE could have belonged to different y-dna. At least this is what I think because neither R1a nor J2 or G can explain were IE languages are spoken today.
It's more wise to trust to many sources and experienced scientists than to one guy who is called a "couch anthropologist".
I'm sorry to hear that you've stopped posting in this thread, this discussion started to look interesting. I hope that you will make a new thread about this to enlighten our minds.
We Sardinians are in majority R1b and I2a (63 or 70 % of population according to different studies) (haplogroup I is one of the most ancient native european haplogroup and it constitutes the 37-40% of Sardinian population)
the G2a constitutes only the 11-15% of population, and it is spread also on the Alps (about 10%) where the Oetzi's mummy was found.

Quote:
In Europe west of the Black Sea Haplogroup G is found at about 5% of the population on average throughout most of the continent.[19] The concentration of G falls below this average in Scandinavia, the westernmost former Soviet republics and Poland, as well as in Iceland and the British Isles. There are seeming pockets of unusual concentrations within Europe. In Wales, a distinctive G2a3b1 type (DYS388=13 and DYS594=11) dominates there and pushes the G percentage of the population higher than in England. In western Austria, in the Tirol (Tyrol) the G percentage can reach 8% or more (Otzi also had it). In the northern and highland areas of the island of Sardinia off western Italy, G percentages reach 11% of the population in one study[20] and reached 21% in the town of Tempio in another study. In the Greek island of Crete, approximately 7%[21] to 11%[22] of males belong to haplogroup G. In north-eastern Croatia, in the town of Osijek, G was found in 14% of the males.[23] The city is on the banks of the river Drava, which notably begins in the Tirol/Tyrol region of the Alps, another haplogroup G focus area in Europe. Farther north, 8% of ethnic Hungarian males and 5.1% of ethnic Bohemian (Czech) males have been found to belong to Haplogroup G.
