23andme has Stephen Colbert listed as R1b. :confused:

Yes, I believe it is his son Leonid who was tested by FTDNA, although the full name doesn't appear on the project page.

I see a linguistic problem there as well. Why would Germanic tribes adopt a Slavic language upon settling in the Balkans? It seems unlikely.

Good point. I2a-din is not present in Britain, nor anywhere else where the Romans went. I2a-disles is found mainly in Scotland which was not a part of Roman Britain. I think it's highly unlikely that any of the I2a1b clades were Illyrian. EDIT Another interesting thing is that the Arbereshe...

No, all Dinaric is L147+ AFAIK.

Here is some ancient Trypillian DNA analysis (unfortunately only mtDNA) iansa.eu/papers/IANSA-2010-01-02-nikitin.pdf

Where do you get that? Dinaric is younger than Isles for sure. TMRCA(Din-N) = 2340 years TMRCA(Din-S) = 2040 years TMRCA(interclade node) = 2820 years

They are not downstream of Dinaric. Has anyone thought about Cucuteni-Trypillian culture as the location of the I2a1b1 founder? Disles could have been carried to Britain by the advancing Indo-Europeans and Dinaric eventually became a part of the Proto-Slavic community.

Very exciting discovery. They have great info and maps on the R1a1a and Subclades Y-DNA Project page. familytreedna.com/public/R1a/default.aspx?section=results
