Seems to be that if we just take North Italy as a country, it would be even moro R1b than the entire iberian peninsula. In average, italians have around 60% of R1b or even less, they have more J2, I1, I2 and E1b1. Also the U152 would be the Uber clade there.Quote:

My sicilian grandfather is R1b, so makes sense that is dominant there, but still only 1/4 of the population.Quote:

I don't know who made these maps, if anyone know please tell me so I can properly put their name here
Would make sense that Z56 had the Z36 map, right? i mean... Almost no gaulish clade in France xDQuote:

Germans
Northern and Western Italians

Also, another curious thing is how much U152 is in bashkirs.

Yes, no doubt Z56 is italicQuote:

Why do you think Z36 is germanic? I think it correlates perfectly with the gaulish settlement in Northern Italy, maybe you've got this impression because there's a hotspot near the black forest?
Look at this passage, by Eupedia:
"This is probably the migration that brought the Italic-speaking tribes to Italy, who would have belonged mainly the Z56 clade of R1b-U152. During the Iron Age, the expansion of the La Tène culture from Switzerland is associated with the diffusion of the Z36 branch, which would generate the Belgae around modern Belgium and in the Rhineland, the Gauls in France, and the Cisalpine Celts in Italy."
I guess if Z36 were germanic it would be higher in Triveneto region rather than Piedmont and Lombardy :icon_ask:
