R is almost 80% of Europe, I don't see why they couldn't have taken multiple pathways, in multiple waves. That would be my vote anyway.
On a side note: I've heard three terms mentioned periodically on Eupedia, names that I was never taught in school. And I've noticed each member seems to have a slightly different take on these definitions. Could we specify what these names mean?
A. Scythian
B. Thracian
C. Dacian
The European members seem to have a better working knowledge of these terms. Also what majority y-haplogroup are believed to make up each tribe/group?
Scythians is after Greek Σκυθες Persian skudar-skudra, means shooters mounted archers, describe by Greeks as Iranoid steppe people entering Europe at known historical times
Thracians after Greek Θρηικες means divided
alternative from ανΘραξ means coalminers or coal producers or fire people from expand from Phrygia to Balkans to Caspian sea the lands that scythians started entering West
Dacian Getae (Δακοι Γετται) name given by Greeks and Romans but can be also inner name , are sub-Thracian tribes like Triballi Odrysse Paeoni Phrygians etc mainly around Romania and north
the only explanation I found and is not certain is Getae means goats and Dacians means wolfs, biters or excavators, diggers, miners, dig rock hole habitants
for gennetics better someone else
