Also regarding Etruscan J2b-L283, there is no doubt that Etruscan J2b-L283 is Dalmatian expansion since they are exactly same branch, therefore most likely arrived with same source, and it had exactly 1000 years to expand from Dalmatia to Italy which is btw very close one to another. Maybe this sample does not reflect real Etruscan origin, or Etruscans where already mixed with Indo-Europeans in that time of period. Or maybe Etruscans will also prove to be Indo-European expansion. Need more Etruscan samples to be sure of their origin, we cant judge by one sample. But what is clear is that Dalmatia J2b-L283 which most likely arrived with Bronze Age Indo-Europeans later also expanded in entire Italy which more samples can testify and not only this 700 BCE Etruscan one, which is btw very young sample and has no priority when looking at origin. Its clearly Dalmatian Bronze Age or later Balkan expansion into Italian Peninsula.
