Well I still claim that I2 is the oldest European and Balkan haplogroup and that's confirmed by all geneticists.
We first colonized Balkan and Europe then others Came.
R1b, J2, E1b, R1a came AFTER I2... many years after I2.
Also most of R1b lived in Eastern Europe and Germany before they became a majority in Europe.
Keep in mind that I2 was major haplogroup in Spain and France.
Therefore It is reasonable to connect major R1b movements to Barbarian invasions, that being said... that doesn't mean they were not present in Spain, Gaul, Balkans before that.

Please, explain this:
The term Vlachs (Croatian: Vlasi) was initially used in medieval Croatian and Venetian history for a Romance-speaking pastoralist community, called "Vlachs" and "Morlachs", inhabiting the mountains and lands of the Croatian Kingdom and the Republic of Venice (Venetian Dalmatia) from the early 14th century. By the end of the 15th century they were highly assimilated with the Slavs and lost their language or were at least bilingual, while some communities managed to preserve and continue to speak their language (Istro-Romanians).

Istro-Romanians are not Aromanians from Balkans, they are medieval Romanians from Transylvania and they speak arhaic Romanian language.
Morlachs were Slavic speakers (mostly orthodox Serbs and some Catholic Croats) who lived sheperd lifestyle, but never Romance.
Unlike southern Balkans Croatia never had contact with Aromanian population.

Istro Romanians
As you can see they don't look like Balkan Vlachs at all, but mostly norid/dinaric and alpine/Borreby with lot of light eyes. Their villages are close to my city.
In Transylvania such faces are easy to find.

If a slavic group of people have shepherd lifestyle, and practice transhumance, especially in the Balkans, then with highly probability on the origin they are vlachs, no matter if they forgot their native language. This type of lifestyle is not slavic at all. Same thing happened with vlachs who lived in Western Ukraine, South Poland, Slovakia and Eastern Czech (Moravia Region), they was assimilated very early, in XIV-XVI centuries, and lost their identity. Vlachs, no matter where they lived, in Balkans, or in such North places like Moravia, they always had a very monolithic culture and lifestyle.
Dinaric, alpine, and CM are most common phenotypes between vlachs since Early Middle Ages, no matter where they lived, in Balkans, or in more northern places.

People adopt to new surroundings. Dalmatia and Herzegovina are highly harsh and infertile regions with thin soil where agriculture is impossible except in few microlocations.
It has low vegetation and mostly stone. They has better soil in middle ages but it i still far from one Ukraine.
Another proof how newcomers adjusted to new surroundings are early medieval Croatian churches, which are Slavic without any doubt. White Croats in Ukraine and Poland built in wood, but in Dalmatia wood is scarce so they switched to stone.
If you look how Balkan Vlachs look like, they have very high mediterranid component which is absent in Istro-Romanians. They are also darker and more gracile in features.Dinaric, alpine, and CM are most common phenotypes between vlachs since Early Middle Ages, no matter where they lived, in Balkans, or in more northern places.
