I bet there was a 'R1b U106' nation like how NOrthern Bell Beaker was the 'R1b P312 nation' and Yamnaya was the 'R1b Z2103 nation.'<br /><br />If so it would mean 'R1b U106 nation' was a lot less successful than 'R1b P312' nation.

None of what we're learning could have been discovered with just modern DNA. <br /><br />Yes the heavily Steppe R1b P312 made a smaller demographic impact on Iberia than Britain/Ireland. But their impact on Iberia was still pretty big. Because think about it, when they arrived in Iberia they may have been only 50% Steppe and modern Iberians are estimated to be 20-30%. <br /><br />Iberians might trace 50% of their ancestry back to the Eastern newcomers. That's not ~90% like in Ireland but it's still a lot. Samuel Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054267559597526866noreply@blogger.com
