ok, you are going to make me understand the Iberian world, first question, the Catalans who do not have, apparently, North African descent, are like pre-Roman Iberian or Celtic people?
The excess of R1b (apparently steppe) that exists in Catalonia (I refer to Catalonia as I could refer to Asturias, Galicia, Cantabria, Euskadi that developed the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula) that represents the genetic orgen of what we currently call Spain were Celtas or were Iberians, we must bear in mind that the reconquest had its importance, but clear light years of what happened in England with a sutitucion of the population of 90%, a population that in some areas outnumber the Basques in R1b, R1b that allow the expression, has not found the father in the steppe.
But good @Plomo, explain us to the "humanists" that excess R1b in the area. theoretically not IE, the explanation for the Basques does not help me, 90% R1b steppe, and according to Basque experts have 0% steppe (I have seen a very convincing video related to atapuerca), this together that the father has not been found in the This step completely destroys the relationship between the western R1b and the steppe.
But good @Plomo clarify all this. especially where was the father R1b western with the steppe?
