Maybe now that time gets moved forward and Y18331 has the 2,200 year estimate? There is one ancestral A2512* Greek as well (with no subbranches).
The rest of the people in A2512 are downstream: Greeks, East European Jews, Chuvash and Latin Americans with likely Greek ancestry—still no Slavs in the branches.
2200 yrs ago is matching extremely well the migration of the Celts into Balkans.
I am not saying that Y18331+ A2512 is for sure Celtic, but this possibility can be also taken into account.
Usually is supposed that I2-din branches were either moved by Slavs or by fewer voices, by Thracians/Dacians.
I supposed in another thread, that some I2-din branches might have moved with Goths.
However, is known that Celts also migrated into Balkans and in Romania from somewhere more Eastwards.
They were migrating 2200 yrs ago or so.
So, there is very possible that some I2-din clades were moved by people that were assimilated by Celts and after,migrated with Celts Westwards.
No one knows if the Celts came from somewhere NE Europe or from E or from SE into Balkans and Romania.
If some Chuvash people got also this branch you found and some Latin Americans and some East European Jews, suddenly, Celts become a candidate of bearing this subclade.
Is weird how this subclade was not found in Iberia, but only in Latin Americans.....
