An interesting article that seems to prove that I2a-Din was spread from the Balkans to the north and east Europe, not vice versa.
A fragment:
"- The subclade Y4460 (TMRCA 2200 ybp) has many representatives in the northern Europe, and very few in the eastern Balkans. Some of the Y4460 people in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland… are positive for the oldest branches of this subclade, and all Y4460 people in Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria… carry the oldest lineages. None of the younger branches (formed less than 2000 years ago) which represent the majority in eastern and western Slavic countries, can be found in the Balkans! This could mean that:
a) Y4460 actually came to Balkan +2000 years ago (from the north), remained sparse, and for some reason did not evolve further – which is, when everything is considered, highly unlikely;
b) the greater part of Y4460 “clan” left the (eastern) Balkans +2000 years ago, crossed the Carpathian mountains and prospered in the Slavic and Baltic countries.
In either case, this is a crucial piece of information: there was no subsequent migration (in the 6th, 7th, or later centuries) to the Balkans which could have brought the younger branches."

That seems interesting. If the parental clades are now in Balkans, and 2200 years old, but the descendents subclades are somewhere else, What that means?... Children do not give birth to parents.
I understand that a subclade descend from a clade who is in Balkans.
If you say... all 3.:innocent:

Other information from Geni. Y18331 is a subclade of Y3120. The oldest lineages of Y18331 are present only in Greece, and all others are scattered mainly across the northern and eastern Europe. So, its parental Y3120 branch probably originated also in Greece-Balkan area.
Ok. They also say that the carriers of Y3120 subclades live all over Balkans, north-eastern and north-western Europe. But, Balkans is the only region where all I-CTS10228 subclades are grouped together – it undoubtedly points to a spatial and temporal continuity of some 2300-3800 years. It is even more significant that the primary lineages of all four Y3120 subclades are found exclusively in the Balkans.
As much as I understand, I think there are arguments showing that these old branches of CTS10228 existed in the Balkans quite long before the sixth-seventh centuries, and were not brought 1500 years ago from outside.

The Romanization of these barbarian peoples eventually transformed them into the most valuable soldiers of the Late Roman Army, with a substantial portion of the officials and generals coming from a northern balkanic background, such as Illyria, Dalmatia, Pannonia and Moesia.
Absolutely false. I am so tired of slavic revisionism. CTS10228 fits exactly the timeline of the well documenter slavic migrations. Its older more diverse and basal clades all found in poland/ukraine. Stop these incessant lies.
