| Haplogroup I is found almost exclusively in Europe where it is represented
in about 20% of the population, though subclade I2 is decidedly less common
than its sister clade, I1. It's difficult to generalize about I2
because it contains a number of geographically distinct subgroups.
One group of I2a was initially concentrated in the Balkans and is called
"Dinaric" (for a mountain range there, the Dinaric Alps), from which location
it dispersed with the retreat of the last ice sheets. Another group
is found around the Baltic and North Sea coastal areas, another in the
British Isles, and another in Sardinia and Iberia. The root clade
of I2b is uncommon, with a probable origin from an Iberian glacial refugium
from which it spread widely in western Europe. The main variety of
I2b, dubbed "Continental," is most common in northwestern Europe, southern
Scandinavia, and Britain. Another group, "Isles," is almost exclusive
to the British Isles, with a concentration in Scotland.
Unlike Haplogroup I1, which is universally 8 at marker DYS455, Haplogroup
I2 is usually 11 at this marker (sometimes 10 and rarely 9). |
So far, eight members of Danish Demes are some form of Haplogroup
I2.
