R1A HAPLOGROUP
Discussion
HAPLOOOOOOOOO
Can we just pause for a minute and acknowledge the fact that all of us saw this kind of map many times and all of us heard of Y-chromosome haplogroups (even if not explicitly referred to as such)...
...and that it is weird?
So that's where now live direct paternal descendants of some guy who lived ~20k years ago
Indo European people.
Did slavic people conquered India?
A lot of people from the steppe entered India thousands of years ago, but maternal ancestry of South Asia is very different and apart for the mountains of West Pakistan/East Afghanistan (also Kashmir) they mixed with already present populations but the Y haplogroups from the steppes remain dominant. Also the R1 haplogroup is very old, and rather shared ancestors of the populations found today instead of being Slavs themselves, Slavic populations would be a subclade of this.
you can see in East Germany dominant Slavic DNA, probably in the West there is also a lot due to resettlements ad migfations
When Germanic tribes left surroundings of Elbe, then Slavs moved in and were later Germanized. Thats why there is a genetic connection.
but before the Germans there were also Celts and other peoples, it was a migration, I'm talking about the current state of DNA, besides, there were no states at that time
Celts were not there at that time. Germanic tribes moved and abandoned this area. Then Slavs moved in. Later they mixed in with German speaking people. End of story.
The Celts were there before the Germans
This is often defined as Slavonic Y chromosome.
Nice to see huge swaths of Norway being more Slavonic than a part of Croatia and Bulgaria, most of Serbia, and all of Bosnia-Herzegovina and North Macedonia.

No, it's not. Haplogroup R1a is >22k years old, the most recent common ancestor lived ~18k years before present in the Pleistocene.
Some (much, much) younger subclades are associated with the early medieval Slavic peoples - along with some I2a subclades as well (which exhibit a founder effect among the South Slavs).
- Yes it is.
- I did not ask you anything.
- Go away, troll.
Still to this day the pseudoscience related to race is still strong in some people.
This map would be cooler if it showed each different subclade of R1a present in the many different parts of Eurasia.
Otherwise this one is just kinda eh.
