Haplogroups in Italy

[Neman]

Hello everyone, I was just wondering which haplogroups could be the most common in Italy, because it seems really hard to answer.

North and central Italy, R1b predominates.
Southern Italy and Sicily, J2 predominates.

Thank you! Can you explain me what they mean?

It's easy, there are many papers.

Northern and central Italy have strong Italo-Celtic input.
Southern Italy has some affinities to the Levant and Near East.

There is also southern Balkan input (Illyrian/Albanian and Greek) in southern Italy which can be seen in the frequency of haplogroup E1b1b, and its subclades.

^ Yes.. as can be seen the Near Eastern impact is higher in the south, and the Italo-Celtic in the north.

Here are some other Italy maps about various Y-Dna haplogroups:

Seems to be that of the main haplogroups, according the 4 regional division of Italy (North, Central, South & Sardinia), would be this:

R1b: North
R1a: North
I1: North
I2: Sardinia
J1: Central
J2: Central
E1b1: South

Yeah, I wonder how common R1b-M269 is in Italy. Probably not that common. But in general it shows North is mostly R1b/R1a and south is levant/North African shifted haplos.
