What's up with Norway?
Specifically, I noticed something very strange on multiple Y-Haplogroup maps which has puzzled me:
- The presence of Haplogroup subclade R1b-L21 (ca. 10-15%) in Norway (it caught my eyes in the Myres paper).
- Likewise, the presence of Haplogroup Q (ca. 4%) in Norway.
Until there was only Haplogroup Q I didn't give much thought into this, but if you take R1b-L21 into consideration in addition, a very strange pattern emerges here. Obviously, neither the Celts nor the Huns were in Norway, yet both Haplogroups are unexpectedly abundant there. Is there an explanation for this unusual pattern?
