X2d.. woooo! no information on it wooooooo! Its not the Native American X2A.. its not the Druze X1, X3 or X2b/e... all thats known about it was it originated somewhere in the Caucasus and is found today in found in Central and Eastern Europe, Balkans, Georgia and Turkmenistan. Also thought to have been introduced to Europe pre-indo european expansion by Anatolian farmers. Haplogroup X is referred to as "the traveler" because it is the most geographically diverse haplogroup.. but only found in tiny amounts everywhere (except the Druze in the Levant with X1,X2b, X2e, X2f, X3 ~20%).

Mine is U7.
It was found in a Scythian grave.

It also found at high frequencies (most) in modern-day Lurs, Azeris, Persians, Ossetians, Kurds, Pashtuns, Burusho, Tajik, Balochi etc.

Doggerland flooded gradually, and of course the 'cultural territory' would have included lands that are not currently submerged around the North Sea.

It was probably completely underwater by about 8,000 years ago.

Thanks again. It turns out i have nearly 10% "English" on my result, i don't know if it qualifies or fits with this.

Ps: May i ask why the 23andme forum is locked? Is it only for the "friend of apricity?"

No - but you need to be a regular member, which involves having 15 posts. However, I have just made you one so you can explore it.

Most Bretons and North French and Dutch score some British.

It's a Neolithic clade with serious representation in old Neolithic Europe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_N1a_%28mtDNA%29

Seven of 42 skeletons from Linear Pottery Culture sites were found to be members of the N1a haplogroup (see Neolithic European section). N1a was also identified in remains from a 6200 year-old megalithic long mound near Prissé-la-Charrière, France.[10] A 2500 year old fossil of a Scytho-Siberian in the Altai Republic, easternmost representative of the Scythians, was found to be a member of N1a1.[11] A study of a 10th and 11th century Hungarians found that N1a1a1 was present in high-status individuals but absent from commoners.[12] One of thirteen skeletons analyzed from a medieval cemetery dated 1250-1450 AD in Denmark was found to be a member of subclade N1a1a.[13]

However it is now extremely rare in Europe - you are one of the few survivors! It is most common in certain parts of Croatia, but still VERY unusual.
