How common is R1b among West Slavic ethnic groups? Which subclades are the most common ones?

Myres 2010 study had 18.4% of R1b in Poland. The same study had 21.6% of R1b for Czechia and 16.2% for Slovakia.

According to Myres 2010 the most common branch of R1b in Poland is U106 and in Czech Republic P312 predominates.

Among Lusatian Sorbs the percentage of R1b is 9.8% - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbs#Genetics
 
I guess the R1b are remnants of the original population, prior to the arrival of the Slavs ?

You think that Proto-Slavs had no R1b?
 
Ive often wondered this question as well, ive seen no studies that really discuss R1b and its subclads in slovakia though Maciamo shared some maps about R1b distribution in europe, im not sure where he got the percentages for Slovakia from.
 
also it would be necessary to look at the core of the Slavic word, N Ukraine and Belarus if there are particular R1b clades
