Question 1 .... I see ultraviolet light can cause mutations .... could the high levels of sunshine in Sydney cause "extra" Y-DNA mutations vs other places with less sunshine i.e. Germany region (where Wettin man lives)?
It's doubtful that it would make a significant difference in a genealogical timeframe.
Question 2 ..... what is your prediction for the Haplogroup of "Wettin man"?
R1b-U106 is probably the safest guess, followed closely by R1a. I'm hoping for I2 of some flavor though... I2a2a is somewhat likely... as it would be the most famous I2 found so far. R1b already has lots of famous people known to have carried it.
