michael Hammer stated last month
U106 is east german
U152 is central german
but neither where germanic areas at that time, nor celtic
I wasnt at that conference;
But what i know from what i have read and seen
(in articles about the conference) is that Dr. Hammer concludes that all R1b
(M269) comes from a
post-Neolithic migration stemming from Anatolia;
That R1b is
post-Neolithic is the current state of knowledge based on the current results of the 32 Neolithic corpses from Treilles/Avellaner/Ötzi/Derenburg; 0% (not a single one) is R1b and mostly G2a;
If the Hammer scenario is correct and all R1b
(M269) lineages are from a
non-Indo-European
post-Neolithic migration than the dominant R1b lineages (U106/U152) in Indo-European societies (Germanic/Keltic/Italic) must than be at least pseudo-Indo-European; in the sense that these lineages were subjugated and absorbed by Indo-Europeans further East and than expanded into
the rest of Europe with the succeeding Bronze-age cultures of Tumulus and Urnfield;
Either that or U106/U152 are proper-Indo-European;
And given the sheer dominance of U106/U152 in Indo-European societies (Germanic/Keltic/Italic) in comparison to R1a and given the Archaeological reality that these societies emerged from a common continuity than U106/U152 look very proper-Indo-European;
But only future tests and more data from the
Chalcolithic and
early Bronze-age will show whats pseudo and whats proper;
I didnt read that Dr. Hammer claimed that U106 and U152
originated in Germany - just that those are the
epicenters and
centers-of-expansions;
12% of U106 in flanders , granted its not normandy, but normans where there as well
Do you mean I1-M253?
Because U106 is 26.7% and I1-M253 is 12.0%;
