Assuming the sample is r..."95% C.I. of 17.3-64.3%"<br /><br />Assuming the sample is representative and does not, e.g., contain multiple men who are closely related. Even then there would still be a 1/20 chance the actual population percentage of this haplogroup falls outside the 95% confidence interval. Considering there are multiple haplogroups and multiple samples, it becomes quite probable that some frequencies will fall outside 95% confidence ranges.<br /><br />But even if frequencies of E3b prove to be "significantly" elevated in Abergele, genetic drift is a vastly more plausible explanation than "Mediterranean prospectors" arriving 4000 years ago and having their Y chromosomes conveniently remain highly concentrated in one location across the intervening millennia.n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378473351485233448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-56023212717981754592009-04-22T00:31:00.000+03:002009-04-22T00:31:00.000+03:00If it is E3b2 (old nomenclature but the North Afri...If it is E3b2 (old nomenclature but the North African clade in any case), it would have a likely origin in West Iberia and arrived probably within the cultural phenomenon of Dolmenic Megalithism (late Neolithic or Chalcolithic, depending on who you read). <br /><br />If it is E3b1 (the Balcanic clade) it might be indeed related to the Atlantic Bronze economical area and could have arrived ultimately from Greece, IMO, but via Iberia in any case, where it has relatively high concentration in the Levant (most closely connected to Greece possibly along late Prehistory) and the NW (a most important tin mining area where an E1b1b founder effect, both clades, is very apparent). <br /><br />Check <A HREF="http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2008/12/major-study-of-iberian-y-chromosomes.html" REL="nofollow">this Dienekes' post</A> for reference.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-25757298389351716302009-04-21T22:44:00.000+03:002009-04-21T22:44:00.000+03:00>> Correction: the study found a high freque...>> Correction: the study found a high frequency of HG21 in a sample of 18 Y chromosomes from Abergele.<br /><br />95% C.I. of 17.3-64.3%, which is significantly higher than the presence of the haplogroup in the other studied populations.Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-88329287073473161992009-04-21T22:26:00.000+03:002009-04-21T22:26:00.000+03:00"The 2002 study had found a high frequency of HG21..."The 2002 study had found a high frequency of HG21 in Abergele."<br /><br />Correction: the study found a high frequency of HG21 in <B>a sample of 18 Y chromosomes</B> from Abergele.<br /><br />There is zero evidence for "Mediterranean prospectors" in Britain and the BBC article is utterly-retarded, irresponsible sensationalism.
