Y-chromosome haplogroups in Italian populations A total of 53 distinct lineages were identified; their frequency distributions in the examined Italian populations are reported in Supplementary Table S6 and illustrated according to their phylogenetic relationships in Figure 2.Haplogroup R is the most frequent (50.1%) with its two main branches, R1a (4.7%) and R1b (45.3%), the latter mainly accounted for by R1b-U152 (49.5% of the total R1b); R2 was not observed. Next is haplogroup J (19.2%), mostly observed as J2 (17.6%),
and third is haplogroup E, as E1b (14.6%),mostly represented by its ‘Balkan’ sub-clade E1b-V13. The other main haplogroups show frequencies lower than 10%:haplogroup G (8.4%) and haplogroup I (4.8%).
In Italy, E-V13 shows coalescent age and variance values similar to the Northern Balkan ones. These data are in agreement with a first migration of E1b-V13 from Anatolia towards the Southern Balkans, where it underwent a demographic expansion, followed by a later spread towards Southern Italy (Battaglia et al., 2009). The relatively recent expansion times in the Balkans are consistent with the Balkan Bronze Age, a period that saw strong demographic changes as demonstrated by archaeological records (Childe, 2013; Kristiansen, 2000), and could therefore,represent a possible time frame for the population movement into the South of Italy.E1b-V13 is also observed in Volterra and the Northern Italian groups, mainly in the most accessible areas (Boattiniet al., 2013). This observation supports a Balkan influence in Northern Italian populations as well, most likely through an Adriatic route and along the Po Valley and, to a lesser extent in lateral, more isolated, mountainous valleys.

it was always a weird study ..............they left out all the Adriatic side Italians except for the Salento peninsula ( heel of italy )
