Well, if you want to be more specific, how about J2a-M67 ? It's also found in Italy, Greece, etc.

Catalans you don't know because they are not a sample in the Haak et al. study, and Basques do have it, look at K=19.

Obviously the people who brought J2a to Iberia was the same people that brought it in the rest of Southern-Europe.

It seems to me that phoenicians had airplanes, and they flew directly from the Levant to Spain, without leaving any trace in the rest of Europe.

confirms ? R2 is not even common in Lebanon. It's much more frequent in the Caucasus.

But there's been massive immigration of Europeans to North-America. Not a good analogy. Where's the phoenicians settlements in Catalonia ? Of course they move inside of Iberia, but no such much as to be the reason for the whole 8% J2a. It's not even clear were it came from the J2 in South Spain...

phoenician settlements in Catalonia ? Since when ? They traded with the greeks and iberians, but didn't have a settlement of their own in Catalonia.

You have no idea what your talking about. The mtDNA U6 is a specific north-african subclade, nothing to do with Jews.

There was never a Phoenician settlement in Catalonia. So no, it's not of phoenician origin. J2a-M67 is also common in the Caucasus, in Greece, Italy, etc.

The presence of E-M81 is certainly pre-islamic. Because the frequencies do not correlate with the islamic historical events taking place in Iberia. The morisco theory in Galicia is ridiculous, and makes no historical sense, not only because morsicos were natives converted to Islam living in...

The Caucasus-Gedrosia component that you talk about , has nothing to do with Phoenicians or Arabs, but with Yamnaya. If you look at the dark-blue component, it peaks in Yamanya, but they also have around 25% of this Caucasus-Gedrosia component. This component is in fact also found all around...

That's correct. J2 is about 8-10% in Spain, which is pretty low for a South-European/Mediterranean country.

E-M34 (most common subclade of E1b1b for Jews) is extremely low in Spain.

Like I said, the study includes the Balearic Islands. Which is not exactly "North-East Spain".

This thread is so full of inaccuracies. How come Arabs contribute 8% DNA when there has never been an arab population here to begin with ? The Arabs during the muslim occupation whrere only the elites (the Califas) and the armies, but never part of the population, it was never massive. Here is...
