but where are studies which would show more than 15 percent of I2a for Belarus then?
I've seen this on WikipediaBalanovsky et al. (2008) : check the map of I2a2.
Nope,I'm not gonna feel superior,you got it totally wrong.I only care about accuracy.What's your secret agenda denying I2a to anyone else but Croatians. Will this make you super special or something? Are you starting new religion for Croats?
Why study showing none I2a in Slavs is right, if it shows any must be wrong? Do you have any other proof, maybe a legend or something?
And what's even more interesting,and I haven't noted that yet,that this,latest study states that Ukrainians,and Poles as well,have no I2a at all:
www.unipv.eu/on-line/Home/AreaStampa/documento2986.html
The sampling is good,92 Ukrainians and 99 Poles.So,no objections can be made,not at all.
how to explain that suddenly?seems that haplogroup I is still misterious and has to be defined more properly.
One definite conclusion that can be made from these numbers is that I2a haplogroup hasn't got absolutely any connection with Slavic people.
If there was any 'hope',now it's dead.
There is always a possibility,of course,but i doubt they would left out those numbers and noone would know nothing 'just like that'.It might be an omission or a mistake since the same study shows 10-20% og I2a2 on the map on page 6.
That's a well put theory,but I doubt Slavs have brought any I2a2 with them,nothing more than R1b or I1 for example.I've explained why many times on this site,I'm lazy to do it again.Well I don't quite agree. The Slavs are an Indo-European people descending from the R1a1a (forest-)steppe people, but they assimilated a lot of I2a2 people from Old Europe before Proto-Indo-European speakers spoke Proto-Slavic. Just like Proto-Germanic Indo-Europeans assimilated Paleolithic I1 people in Scandinavia, Proto-Slavs were an R1a majority with a substantial I2a2 minority. Proto-Slavic speakers might well have borrowed a few words from the language of the Cucuteni-Tripolye people.
Slavic language probably developed around Ukraine, Poland and Belarus, then re-expanded to Russia, bringing I2a2 (and maybe a bit of northern Polish I1) with them. Just look at Kuban Cossacks in the North Caucasus or European Russians in Siberia and Central Asia; their haplogroups are the same and found in the same proportions are European Russians. It's easy to imagine how I2a2 (but also E-V13, J2 or I1) might have spread around East Slavic countries this way.
That's a well put theory,but I doubt Slavs have brought any I2a2 with them,nothing more than R1b or I1 for example.I've explained why many times on this site,I'm lazy to do it again.
Though,one more reason might be added:negligible amounts(0% !) of I2a in Poland and Ukraine.
