R1b-U152 Celtic Homeland
R1b-U152 Variance gives us an indication of how diverse the haplotypes within a specific subclade are within a specific region. Until now the expectation has been that where we find high frequencies of R1b-U152 we can expect to find higher diversity of haplotypes (variance) as the population is older and has had more time to diversify.
According to preliminary findings, it appears that this assumption does not hold true for U152.
The highest variance for R1b-U152 appears to be in the vicinity of North West Europe whereas the highest frequency for R1b-U152 can be found in the region of Alpine and North Italy.
The low variance in Italy with high frequency suggests a limited, gradual growth trend by a group who entered Italy from the North and formed a colony.
What determines the R1b-U152 homeland, frequency or variance?
