maybe thats true but there has to be a genetic reason why some of my family members look dark some can pass for egyptian my family probably has j or e then cause no one looks basque or irish here lol or german
again , the haplogroups you have have nothing to do with how you look...so maybe my dad is dark and can pass for middle eastern or north african because 1, he has either j or e or t haplogroup, and 2, we come from a less mountain area of malta, or 3, the climate is hot?? so the darkest europeans with the darkest hair skin and eyes woud be these 3 combos? possibly along the coasts of the mediterranean and not the mountains and where people have e j and t haplogroup not r1a i or r1b

i always thought genetics determines it as well but climate has something to do with it? so if norwegian nordics and irish celts go to saudi arabia in a few hundred years theyd turn into arabian bedouins and look arabic have a hooked nose resemble bin laden etc?? i think it must be climatic+genetics

J2 I have heard is phoenician. Is it J2a or J2b?Capelli et al 2005 "Population Structure in the Mediterranean Basin: A Y Chromosome Perspective" found the followoing frequencies (N=90) in Malta :
R1b : 32.2%
J2 : 21.1%
I : 12.2%
E1b1b : 8.9%
J1 : 7.8%
F : 6.7%
K : 4.4%
R1a : 3.3%
E1b1a : 1.1%
E* : 1.1%
P : 1.1%
You cant equate J2a or J2b with a 3000 year old civilization, they are almost 40000 years old and were around long before the phoenicians. Its also highly doubtful that they are responsible for most of the J2 in Malta, Malta has been inhabited since the early Neolithic, and J2 was probably there very early.J2 I have heard is phoenician. Is it J2a or J2b?
Are you saing that J2a or J2b are newer subclades of J? I am confused J1 and J2 are seperate haplogroups right? So what could phoenicians were? I saw a english language Lebanese tv program and they were getting tested to find out if they were phoenicians. Because phoenicians settled in Malta and Maltese are largely J, Lebanese believed that J is Phoenician haplogroup.You cant equate J2a or J2b with a 3000 year old civilization, they are almost 40000 years old and were around long before the phoenicians.

Appearance has little to do with what haplogroups you have. Anyways, the most frequent haplogroup in the Malteses are the R1b, followed by J, I, E, F
