SRY2627 aka R-m167 is most commonly found in Iberia (especially Catalonia), also found in south west France. There are small amounts found among Ukrainians and Swedes and Finnish people and it is found in Sicily and southern Italy. It is commonly assumed to have originated in modern Aragon about 5000 years ago. An interesting theory I read online is that it could be Gothic. This was meant to explain its spread. That its density in Spain is from the Visigoths, smaller amounts in Ukraine would be Ostrogothic. Im still inclined to thing its proto-Celtic but it is an interesting bit of speculation. Thoughts?
