Talk:Y-DNA haplogroups in populations of Europe

Propose reworking table
I would say the list of haplogroups represented here should be edited somewhat... first of all, the differentiation between J1 and J2 should be made, as it is often rather rigid. For example among J Chechens, they are mostly all J2; whereas Dargins are mostly all J1, etc... they are certainly just as worthy of being split as R1a and R1b are. Also, I would split I1 and I2 (which in turn might be best as I2a and I2b). We could possibly find a way to split it within the column for groups that have it specified, at the very least (that way, for groups that only have "I" or "J" in the data, we can still have only one column)... also we might want to add H, a and/or R2a though I would say the I and J splits (into I1, I2a, I2b, J1 and J2) are very important to do... Those 5 are good for differentiating populations in Europe --Yalens (talk) 16:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * For H, R2 and others haplogroups, a new column titled "others" might be created.--Maulucioni (talk) 23:40, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Like it is in the Central Asia page? I think that would be a pretty good idea? --Yalens (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅. --Maulucioni (talk) 12:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Possibly propose new Caucasian peoples page
This page is pretty big and its only going to get bigger. We might want to take the North Caucasus out of here, or at least leave it only an abbreviated form, and take the South caucasus from the Middle East page similarly and merge them into a new page. The N. and S. Caucasuses are more closely intertwined with each toher than their respective continents... (that being said, Kurds, Laz, Eastern Anatolians and Anatolian Armenians should also be included in the Caucasus page for reference) I wouldn't say take the Caucasus samples out of Europe completely (as they are important for Europe's genetic history), but they definitely deserve their own page. I have an excel file on my computer ready to convert into a wiki chart. If we have to make 10 haplogroup columns like is standard for a Caucasus page, I'd say E1b1b, G, I, J1, J2, L, T, R1 [possibly to split to R1a and R1b?], R2 and Others. --Yalens (talk) 00:24, 11 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with you. This article might turn out caotic. It's necessary an Y-DNA haplogroups by populations of Caucasus article. --Maulucioni (talk) 04:19, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Chronological development of haplogroups found in Europe
"Chronological development of haplogroups found in Europe" section has almost completely wrong data. I tried to remove it, but someone who added it was more persistent than me so... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shetach (talk • contribs) 16:20, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Renaming proposal
Interested/knowledgeable parties, please see Talk:Y-chromosome haplogroups by populations for a renaming proposal that would affect this article and 10 others. Please comment over there to keep the discussion centralized. Thanks. - dcljr (talk) 00:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Scottish Language
The most common Scottish languages are Scottish English (West Germanic) and Scots (West Germanic). Gaelic (Celtic) is only spoken by about 2% of Scottish people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.33.246 (talk) 19:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Eupedia
The table is really unorganised, a new in-depth study by Eupedia on the halotypes in Europe, including dividing halotypes into subclades such as I1 and I2. I'm going to update and organise the table to this new updated information. 13:35, 2 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchistdy (talk • contribs)


 * No, you made table much worse, you removed significant informations with relevant sources and institute of researchs, all that was referenced. Single source is not acceptable, especually using no reference at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.149.24.195 (talk) 03:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Indeed, it is a blog and a forum. In fact, none of the images here were backed by actual academic sources it seems.--Calthinus (talk) 16:55, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Visualizations
A map like that shows the full current distribution in each country would help illustrate just how mixed humans are. The maps that only show the dominant group can give a rather misleading impression, especially where the dominant group is less than half the population. -- Beland (talk) 04:14, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This one is much better and thank goodness not based on Eupedia.--Calthinus (talk) 07:39, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Stricken. The new map is ... also problematic, and outdated. Current one is imperfect but better. Particularly problematic for the new one is its implication that national boundaries are legitimate boundaries to divide the genetic diversity of Europe -- RS say precisely the opposite from Cavalli Svorza onward. Perhaps it can be fixed to make sure its clear most countries except the Atlantic ones and some Slavic areas are in fact pluralities. Whatever. New one is not better. --Calthinus (talk) 19:29, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

This is about nationalities, not ethnicities
The clearly taking nationalities into account, not ethnicities. Bashkortostan is not dominated by Russians. They are Bashkirs. So as many other Russian regions. Common Russians lines are also clrealy about whole Russian population, not only ethnically Russians. Elk Salmon (talk) 07:31, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
