I think there should have been a lot because Western whites have dominated the world in the last 500 centuries. Britain, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Holland, etc.

There are a lot of I and R1a too, the contributions are great. E1b has it's contributions too.

I didn't say otherwise. Though R1a is low in Western whites. Iberia, France, Italy, Britain, Ireland. It's somewhat higher in Germany and Scandinavia though. R1a (excluding the Asian branch) is a mainly Slavic, Baltic thing plus the countries that had a substatial Slavic influence (e.g. Romania, Hungary).

R1a is like 25% in Norway and 20% in Germany, the Eden of the slavic R1a is Poland, is like Ireland with the R1b.

Villabruna 1 - R1b

Significant in terms of the history of population genetics: the remains were found to carry Y-DNA haplogroup R1b1a-L754* (xL389,V88). This is the oldest documented example of haplogroup R1b in Western Europe. The excellent preservation of the Villabruna 1 skeleton helped to thoroughly investigate various aspects of skeletal biology, such as body size, craniofacial morphology, tooth wear, functional anatomy, and nutritional and pathological aspects. Comparing Villabruna 1 and similar finds with today's people widened the understanding of biocultural adjustments, the living conditions and survival strategies of the Paleolithic population of Europe.
