What is the proto-germanic haplogroup ? I1 or R-U106 ?

[CordedWhelp]

I1, if I had to pick one.

[Äijä]

Finland is a good proof for I1, actually the best.

[Lawalye]

If it is I1,
the three most germanic countries would be: 1.Sweden 2.Norway 3.Finland.
Hotspot: eastern Norway + western Sweden.

If it R-U106,
the three most germanic countries would be: 1.Netherlands 2.Luxembourg 3.UK
Hospot: Netherlands + Friesland, Tournai's area and greater Luxembourg.

Actually West Finland is about 45-55% I1.

R-U106 is older than meta-ethnicites, it is "Doggerlander" y-dna which is why it is more common in Netherlands and reaching into Britain.

And for those that dont know, the Finnish I1 is old, the regions are 100% Finnish speaking and have been since 300-500AD

That's possible but,
Why is Finland not germanic while they would have one the highest amount of "proto-germanic" origin ?

That is the question, why did they shift language to that of the Estonian Vikings? Hope to get foreigners interested in this also.

Germanics are highly associated as a fairly even meshing of "Old Europe" and Indo-European Europe. Finland might be Finnic speaking, but it isn't entirely of Siberian-stock...it will be still much moreso so-called "Mesolithic Euro". and this subclade of "I" is very Mesolithic.
