I do not recall if he has a Dodecad North Italian population. He, of course, does have the Behar North Italian population to use. I unfortunately am not familiar with the origins of the samples comprising the "C_Italian_D" population.

Added a few more populations. Not to be taken too seriously. It is a decent rough guide. For example, Spanish and Portuguese have shown to be closely related genetically, as have Assyrians and Armenians.

C_Italian are Central Italians. There are also two North Italian samples, the one from Bergamo (Behar et al.) and the one from north-italian members.

The Spanish are almost as Western European as they are Mediterranean.. and all other components are very minor.

All populations North of a certain line seem to have less South West Asian, Dutch, German, Mixed Germanic, British - all other Germanics too.

But Swedes and Norwegians both have more (2 percent).

That is rather strange to my eyes and needs an explanation, this or that way.

Well, hI broke off from hJ some while ago. Could have something to do with that.

What do you mean with that?

I was saying that since haplogroup I and haplogroup J diverged from the same haplogroup some 25,000-30,000 years BP that this could be why Swedes have some S-W Asian on dodecad.

On a second thought, I doubt that's actually the reason why.
