Subject: [R-M222] Geographical distribution of M222+
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 14:07:43 -0000


There seems to be quite a bit of disagreement about the geographical
distribution of M222+. What I've done here is to summarise what the Busby et
al 2011 paper of 2011 reports for Western Europe. Note that there can be no
claims of dominance by North American DNA testees, so at least from that
point of view there is no reason to suspect that the figures are biased. The
sample size is on the small side, however, with 16,298 testees, of whom
4,658 were classified as having Western European origins. The summary is at

(click on 'Data Supplement' under the heading 'This Article' in green in the
column to the right of centre of the page)

The distribution in England is reported as :


No of M222+Population tested

Central 1 190
East 0 172
NW 5 47
SE 1 52
SW 0 48

Total 7 509

Note that 5 of the 7 M222+ found in England were found in NW England, in
other words just south of Scotland.
