It would seem that basque is an isolated pre-indo-European language. I postulate that this language was first created by the men of I-M26; the only present I subclade in basque people's. These original basque were probably overwhelmed by indo-European R1b people's, but we can still find traces...

T was brought to Madagascar via Omani and Persian slave traders that made contact with the region. Not from admixture/arrival of Africans from the Horn of Africa, as this is barely documented if at all. These regions probably have a different time of introduction of T, with T reaching Madagascar...

The ancient Oenotrians where among the very first of the barbarian pelasgians to invade Italy. They settled down from an area stretching from southern campania deep into southern Calabria.

Where did hg T originate in your opinion

It's interesting to note that Lycaon once inhabited Lycaonia, in present day southern turkey, from there he moved to Arcadia in the southern Peleponnese.

The highest global concentration of J-M67 takes place in Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The only other comparable region ( still having less J2a3b than the aforementioned...
