Y-DNA Haplogroup Distributions

[Agrippa]

I know it might be purely coincidal, but I always wondered how close I1(a) can be related to Skandonordid and I2 to Dinaroid in Europe. Its really fascinating and in this paper mentioned too (I know its not about the racial type, yet the centres and distribution are pretty close to what can be said about the Dinarid type):

The phylogeography and high associated variance of I-M170
is consistent with an in situ European origin of M170 in
the Balkans (Semino et al. 2000a), possibly near the Dinaric
Mountain chain in Croatia where it has been observed
at the highest frequency known so far (Barac et al.
2003). I-M170 lineages radiated both towards north central
Europe and into western Turkey. Comparison of STR
haplotypes indicates that the Dinaric modal haplotype is
associated with the I-P37 lineages observed in Turkey.

It just doesnt overlap further West, in the German areas - probably due to Germanic male dominance if there would be a correlation of some kind? Such correlations, and be it by chance, make me speculate...

Those maps are not very accurate. Western Finland has on average 40% I1a, in Satakunta over 50%. And in Eastern Finland it's still around 20%.

This thread title is not very accurate either..

Here is a map of the major Y-DNA haplogroups from a recent study. The article's supplementary material has more maps.
