I have created a new map combining most Germanic lineages associated with the diffusion Germanic peoples from the Iron Age onwards. These includes Y-DNA haplogroups I1 (except some subclades of Finnish origin), I2-M223, R1a-Z284, R1b-U106, and R1b-L238.
Can you tell us where Germanic languages come from?wait R1a Z284 in scandnavia is NOT GERMANIC. it comes from Corded ware culture which spoke the ancestro langauge of Slavic and Baltic. so dont count that i guess some R1a Z284 in the rest of europe is from Germans but not in Finland.

Not all I1 is german. I1 in conteintal europe is I1a1, I1a3, I1a4, and I1b in scandnavia it is I1a2. i1a1, I1a3, i1a4, i1b is most popular in Germany so teh Germanic tribes would have spread some but the 4% i1a1, I1a3, I1a4, and I1b in crtet come on u think that is from Germans then where is teh R1b S21.
My poor chap, you really don't understand much either about genetics or history. Germanic culture developed well after the Corded Ware culture. The Proto-Germanic period was the Nordic Bronze Age, but the first truly Germanic culture developed in the Iron Age. All the people who lived in Scandinavia before the Iron Age were incorporated into the nascent Germanic society. That includes all the Corded Ware settlers.
Yep, me too.I had always assumed the Germanic component of modern-day France would have had a North to South tapering rather than an East to West one.
What is the reason for the higher percentage of Germanic Y-DNA in north-western Sicily? Possibly the Normans or some completely unrelated migrations pre Germanic culture?
Great Map, Maciamo. Genetic distribution never ceases to surprise me. I had always assumed the Germanic component of modern-day France would have had a North to South tapering rather than an East to West one.
Obviously the Normans.
